More quotes by Oswald Chambers
I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine. God is using me from His great personal standpoint, and all He asks of me is that I trust Him, and never say — Lord, this gives me such heart-ache.
Oswald Chambers
Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong BEING, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.
Oswald Chambers
Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way God is going to answer your prayer.
Oswald Chambers
Our Lord never lays down the conditions of discipleship as the conditions of salvation.
Oswald Chambers
The test of a man’s religious life and character is not what he does in the exceptional moments of life, but what he does in the ordinary times, when there is nothing tremendous or exciting on. The worth of a man is revealed in his attitude to ordinary things when he is not before the footlights.
Oswald Chambers
Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led.
Oswald Chambers
Repentance always brings a person to the point of saying, “I have sinned.” The surest sign that God is at work in his life is when he says that and means it. Anything less is simply sorrow for having made foolish mistakes-a reflex action caused by self-disgust.
Oswald Chambers
Our circumstances are the means God uses to exhibit just how wonderfully perfect and extraordinarily pure His Son is.
Oswald Chambers
If ever we are going to be made into wine, we will have to be crushed you cannot drink grapes. Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed. I wonder what kind of finger and thumb God has been using to squeeze you, and you have been like a marble and escaped?
Oswald Chambers
Beware of bartering the Word of God for a more suitable conception of your own.
Oswald Chambers
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
I have to get to the point of the absolute and unquestionable relationship that takes everything exactly as it comes from Him. God never guides us at some time in the future, but always here and now. Realize that the Lord is here now, and the freedom you receive is immediate.
Oswald Chambers
The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service to Him. It is never 'Do, do' with the Lord, but 'Be, be' and He will 'do' through you. The only way to keep true to God is by a steady persistent refusal to be interested in Christian work and to be interested alone in Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
There is nothing more certain in Time or Eternity than what Jesus Christ did on the Cross.
Oswald Chambers
No power on earth or in hell can conquer the Spirit of God in a human spirit
Oswald Chambers
For one man who can introduce another to Jesus Christ by the way he lives and by the atmosphere of his life, there are a thousand who can only talk jargon about him
Oswald Chambers
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
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.
Oswald Chambers
Faith is the inborn capacity to see God behind everything.
Oswald Chambers
Am I prepared to let God grip me by His power and do a work in me that is worthy of Himself? Sanctification is not my idea of what I want God to do for me sanctification is God's idea of what He wants to do for me, and He has to get me into the attitude of mind and spirit where at any cost I will let Him sanctify me wholly.
Oswald Chambers
