More quotes by Oswald Chambers
Never run away with the idea that it doesn't matter much what we believe or think it does. What we believe and think, we are not what we say we believe and think, but what we really do believe and think, we are there is no divorce at all.
Oswald Chambers
If your faith is in experiences, anything that happens is likely to upset that faith.
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

Oswald Chambers
The Bible is not a book that you can open and say, 'Now, Lord, put some magic into my soul that will open up the meaning of this book.' There is only one way really to understand the Word, and that is through wrestling with the circumstances and happenings of life.
Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers
We must learn to tell ourselves the truth on the basis of God’s Word.
Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers
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
Our Lord’s teaching is always anti-self-realization. His purpose is not the development of a man His purpose is to make a man exactly like Himself, and the characteristic of the Son of God is self-expenditure.
Oswald Chambers
If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.
Oswald Chambers
The greatest competitor of true devotion to Jesus is the service we do for Him. It is easier to serve than to pour out our lives completely for Him.
Oswald Chambers
Forgiveness is the divine miracle of grace. The cost to God was the Cross of Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Do we so appreciate the marvelous salvation of Jesus Christ that we are our utmost for His highest?
Oswald Chambers
If you are going on with God, the only thing that is clear to you, and the only thing God intends to be clear, is the way He deals with your own soul.
Oswald Chambers
As Christians we are not out for our own cause at all, we are out for the cause of God, which can never be our cause. We do not know what God is after, but we have to maintain our relationship with Him whatever happens.
Oswald Chambers
The well of your incompleteness runs deep, but make the effort to look away from yourself and to look toward Him.
Oswald Chambers
The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing but in God-likeness.
Oswald Chambers
