Image
Prayer is simple, prayer is supernatural, and to anyone not related to our Lord Jesus Christ, prayer is apt to look stupid.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
Prayer is not a preparation for work, it IS work. Prayer is not a preparation for the battle, it IS the battle. Prayer is two-fold: definite asking and definite waiting to receive.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not made for the mountains, for sunrises, or for the other beautiful attractions in life - those are simply intended to be moments of inspiration. We are made for the valley and the ordinary things of life and that is where we have to prove our stamina and strength.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never look for justice in this world, never cease to give it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is possible to know all about doctrine and yet not know Jesus. The soul is in danger when knowledge of doctrine outsteps intimate touch with Jesus. ....Have I a personal history with Jesus Christ? The one sign of discipleship is intimate connection with Him, a knowledge of Jesus Christ nothing can shake.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When God gives a vision, transact business on that line, no matter what it costs.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is nothing to be valued more highly than to have people praying for us God links up His power in answer to their prayers.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Can Jesus Christ see the agony of His soul in us? He can't unless we are so closely identified with Him that we have His view concerning the people for whom we pray. May we learn to intercede so wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ will be completely and overwhelmingly satisfied with us as intercessors.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our dependence upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Some of us are like the Dead Sea, always taking in but never giving out, because we are not rightly related to the Lord Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God is the Great Engineer, creating circumstances to bring about moments in our lives of divine importance, leading us to divine appointments
Oswald Chambers
Image
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.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God never fits His word to suit me He fits me to suit His word.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
When we are consciously aware of being used as broken bread and poured out wine, we have yet another level to reach - a level where all awareness of ourselves and what God is doing through us is completely eliminated. A saint is never consciously a saint - a saint is consciously dependent on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our ordinary abilities will never worship God unless they are transformed by the indwelling Son of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We can never be like lillies in the garden unless we have spent time as bulbs in the dark, totally ignored.
Oswald Chambers
