Image
If the Spirit of God detects anything in you that is wrong, He doesn't ask you to make it right He only asks you to accept the light of truth, and then He will make it right. A child of the light will confess sin instantly and stand completely open before God. But a child of the darkness will say, “Oh, I can explain that.
Oswald Chambers

God never gives strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the minute.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is perilously easy to have amazing sympathy with God's truth and remain in sin.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The one thing that remains is looking in the face of God for ourselves.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Isaiah was so attuned to God, because of the great crisis he had just endured, that the call of God penetrated his soul. The majority of us cannot hear anything but ourselves. And we cannot hear anything God says. But to be brought to the place where we can hear the call of God is to be profoundly changed.

If we understood what happens when we use the Word of God, we would use it oftener.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is easier to serve God without a vision, easier to work for God without a call, because then you are not bothered by what God requires common sense is your guide, veneered over with Christian sentiment. You will be more prosperous and successful, more leisure-hearted, if you never realize the call of God.

We are here for God's designs, not for our own
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is nothing attractive about the gospel to the natural man the only man who finds the gospel attractive is the man who is convicted of sin.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When I see Jesus Christ I simply want to be what He wants me to be.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Faith is the inborn capacity to see God behind everything.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The love of God is not created- it is His nature.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
Complete weakness and dependence will always be the occasion for the Spirit of God to manifest His power.
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
God saved us to make us holy, not happy. Some experiences may not contribute to our happiness, but all can be made to contribute to our holiness. Vance Havner The destined end of man is not happiness, nor health, but holiness. God's one aim is the production of saints.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Faith for my deliverance is not faith in God. Faith means, whether I am visibly delivered or not, I will stick to my belief that God is love.
Oswald Chambers
