More quotes by Oswald Chambers
Intercession means raising ourselves up to the point of getting the mind of Christ regarding the person for whom we are praying.
Oswald Chambers
The one thing that remains is looking in the face of God for ourselves.
Oswald Chambers
Never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives. This is poverty triumphant.
Oswald Chambers
Satan tried to put Jesus Christ on the way to becoming King of the world and Savior of men in a way other than that predetermined by God.
Oswald Chambers
Ask God for what you want, but you cannot ask if you are not asking for a right thing. When you draw near to God, you cease from asking for things.Your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him. Then, why ask? That you may get to know Him.
Oswald Chambers
Temptation is a suggested short cut to the realization of the highest at which I aim - not towards what I understand as evil, but towards what I understand as good.
Oswald Chambers
We have to recognize that sin is a fact, not a defect sin is red-handed mutiny against God. Either God or sin must die in my life...If sin rules in me, God's life in me will be killed if God rules in me, sin in me will be killed.
Oswald Chambers
It is perilously possible to make our conceptions of God like molten lead poured into a specially designed mould, and when it is cold and hard we fling it at the heads of the religious people who don't agree with us.
Oswald Chambers
What hinders me from hearing is that I am taken up with other things. It is not that I will not hear God, but I am not devoted in the right place. I am devoted to things, to service, to convictions, and God may say what He likes but I do not hear Him.
Oswald Chambers
All Christians have the Spirit of Christ, but not all Christians have the mind of Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Temptations in the life of faith are not accidents each temptation is part of a plan, a step in the progress of faith.
Oswald Chambers
When we pray in the Name of Jesus the answers are in accordance with His nature, and if we think our prayers are unanswered it is because we are not interpreting the answer along this line.
Oswald Chambers
The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with Him.
Oswald Chambers
Never look for right in the other man, but never cease to be right yourself. We always look for justice in this world, but there is no such thing as justice. Jesus says — Never look for justice, but never cease to give it.
Oswald Chambers
We must build our faith not on fading lights but on the Light that never fails.
Oswald Chambers
God gives us the vision, then He takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of the vision, and it is in the valley that so many of us faint and give way. Every vision will be made real if we will have patience. Think of the enormous leisure of God! He is never in a hurry.
Oswald Chambers
It is easy to turn our religious life into a cathedral for beautiful memories, but there are feet to be washed . . .
Oswald Chambers
The root of all sin is the suspicion that God is not good.
Oswald Chambers
We are in danger of forgetting that we cannot do what God does, and that God will not do what we can do. We cannot save ourselves nor sanctify ourselves, God does that but God will not give us good habits, He will not give us character, He will not make us walk aright. We have to do all that ourselves.
Oswald Chambers
It is impossible to get exhausted in work for God. We get exhausted because we try to do God's work in our own way.
Oswald Chambers
