More quotes by Oswald Chambers

Image
Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Wait on God and He will work, but don't wait in spiritual sulks because you cannot see an inch in front of you! Are we detached enough from our spiritual hysterics to wait on God? To wait is not to sit with folded hands, but to learn to do what we are told.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When you have learned to walk in the light of the Lord, bitterness and contention are impossible.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God is not saving the world it is done. Our business is to get men and women to realize it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not built for ourselves, but for God. Not for service for God, but for God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Be rightly related to God, find your joy there, and out of you will flow rivers of living water.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never forget that our capacity and capability in spiritual matters is measured by, and based on, the promises of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Worshipping God is the great essential of fitness. If you have not been worshipping...when you get to work you will not only be useless yourself, but a tremendous hindrance to those who are associated with you.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is the exercise of drawing on the grace of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord did not say it was wrong to pray in the corners of the street, but He did say it was wrong to have the motive to be seen of men.
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
God has one destined end for mankind - holiness! His one aim is the production of saints. God is not an eternal blessing-machine for men. He did not come to save men out of pity. He came to save men because He had created them to be holy.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The root of all sin is the suspicion that God is not good.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The only way we can be of use to God is to let Him take us through the crooks and crannies of our own characters.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is not what a man does that is of final importance, but what he is in what he does. The atmosphere produced by a man, much more than his activities, has the lasting influence.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is always one fact more in every man's case about which we know nothing.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Faith is unutterable trust in God, trust which never dreams that He will not stand by us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If for one whole day, quietly and determinedly, we were to give ourselves up to the ownership of Jesus and to obeying his orders, we should be amazed at its close to realize all he had packed into that one day.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is no need to get to a place of prayer pray wherever you are.
