More quotes by Oswald Chambers

Image
The greatest need we have is not to do things, but to believe things.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is not only asking, it is an attitude of heart that produces an atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural, and Jesus says, every one that asketh receiveth.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our ordinary abilities will never worship God unless they are transformed by the indwelling Son of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The resentment of discipline of any kind will warp the whole life away from God's purpose.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal He is not...What we call the process God calls the end. His purpose is that I depend on Him and His power NOW. It is the process, not the end that is glorifying to God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in His battles.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we are devoted to the cause of humanity, we shall soon be crushed and broken-hearted, for we shall often meet with more ingratitude from men than we would from a dog but if our motive is love to God, no ingratitude can hinder us from serving our fellow men.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Jesus Christ reveals, not an embarrassed God, not a confused God, not a God who stands apart from the problems, but One who stands in the thick of the whole thing with man.
Oswald Chambers
Image
How many people have you made homesick for God?
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is not a preparation for work, it IS work. Prayer is not a preparation for the battle, it IS the battle. Prayer is two-fold: definite asking and definite waiting to receive.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We pray pious blether, our will is not in it, and then we say God does not answer we never asked Him for anything. Asking means that our wills are in what we ask.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is much easier to do something than to trust in God we mistake panic for inspiration.
Oswald Chambers
Image
'I have chosen you!' Keep that note of greatness in your creed. It is not that you have got God but that He has got you.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Intercession is about putting ourselves in other’s shoes or having sympathy with others. But intercessions are about having the mind of God and see things through His perspective
Oswald Chambers
Image
The purpose of prayer is to reveal the presence of God equally present, all the time, in every condition.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A private relationship of worshiping God is the greatest essential element of spiritual fitness.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Believe steadfastly on Him and everything that challenges you will strengthen your faith. There is continual testing in the life of faith up to the point of our physical death, which is the last great test. Faith is absolute trust in God-trust that could never imagine that He would forsake us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.
Oswald Chambers

A river reaches places its source never knows.
