Quote

Humble yourself--it is a humbling experience to knock at God's door--you have to knock with the crucified thief. To him that knocketh, it shall be opened.

More quotes by Oswald Chambers

Image
No enthusiasm will ever stand the strain that Jesus Christ will put upon His worker, only one thing will, and that is a personal relationship to Himself which has gone through the mill of His spring-cleaning until there is only one purpose left--I am here for God to send me where He will.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never water down the Word of God, but preach it in its undiluted sternness. There must be unflinching faithfulness to the Word of God, but when you come to personal dealings with others, remember who you are- you are not some special being created in heaven, but a sinner saved by grace.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never allow anything that divides or destroys the oneness of your life with Christ to remain in your life without facing it.
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
The institutions of Churchianity are not Christianity. An institution is a good thing if it is second immediately an institution recognizes itself it becomes the dominating factor.
Oswald Chambers

Do not have as your motive the desire to be known as a praying man. Get an inner chamber in which to pray where no one knows you are praying, shut the door, and talk to God in secret.
Oswald Chambers

We think of prayer as a preparation for work, or a calm after having done work, whereas prayer is the essential work.
Oswald Chambers

If we understood what happens when we use the Word of God, we would use it oftener.
Oswald Chambers

If Jesus ever commanded us to do something that He was unable to equip us to accomplish, He would be a liar. And if we make our own inability a stumbling block or an excuse not to be obedient, it means that we are telling God that there is something which He has not yet taken into account.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our salvation comes to us so easily because it cost God so much.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Many of us refuse to grow where we are put consequently, we take root nowhere.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we see Him, we will wonder that we ever could have disobeyed Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Grace is the overflowing favor of God, and you can always count on it being available to draw upon as needed.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is a tremendous freedom to get rid of all self-considerat ion and learn to care about only one thing-the relationship between Christ and ourselves.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is easy to turn our religious life into a cathedral for beautiful memories, but there are feet to be washed . . .
Oswald Chambers
Image
The height of the mountaintop is measured by the drab drudgery of the valley.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A sentimentalist is one who delights to have high and devout emotions stirred whilst reading in an arm-chair, or in a prayer meeting, but he never translates his emotions into action. Consequently a sentimentalist is usually callous, self-centred and selfish, because the emotions he likes to have stirred do not cost him anything.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There are many things that are perfectly legitimate, but if you are going to concentrate on God you cannot do them.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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.

A life of intimacy with God is characterized by joy.
