Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations
Oswald Chambers
Image
Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led - but it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of FAITH, not of understanding and reason- - a life of knowing Him who calls us to go.
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
There is no need to get to a place of prayer pray wherever you are.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord’s making of a disciple is supernatural. He does not build on any natural capacity of ours at all. God does not ask us to do the things that are naturally easy for us- He only asks us to do the things that we are perfectly fit to do through His grace, and that is where the cross we must bear will always come.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
Prayer is the way the life of God is nourished.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
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
There is no greater threat to our devotion to Christ than our service for Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Your priorities must be God first, God second, and God third, until your life is continually face to face with God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Jesus Christ demands the same unrestrained, adventurous spirit in those who have placed their trust in Him that the natural man exhibits. If a person is ever going to do anything worthwhile, there will be times when he must risk everything by his leap in the dark.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Not often, but every once in a while, God brings us to a major turning point — a great crossroads in our life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We have to take the first step as though there were no God. It is no use to wait for God to help us, He will not: but immediately we arise we find He is there.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is by no haphazard chance that in every age men have risen early to pray. The first thing that marks decline in spiritual life is our relationship to the early morning.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When you are insulted, you must not only not resent it, but you must make it an opportunity to exhibit the Son of God in your life. And you cannot imitate the nature of Jesus-it is either in you or it is not. A personal insult becomes an opportunity for a saint to reveal the incredible sweetness of the Lord Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we are devoted to the cause of humanity, we shall soon be crushed and broken-hearted, for we shall often meet with more ingratitude from men than we would from a dog but if our motive is love to God, no ingratitude can hinder us from serving our fellow men.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We have an idea that God is leading us to a particular end, a desired goal He is not...What we call the process God calls the end. His purpose is that I depend on Him and His power NOW. It is the process, not the end that is glorifying to God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
You can never argue anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven, you cannot argue anyone anywhere. The only result of arguing is to prove to your own mind that you are right and the other fellow wrong. You cannot argue for truth but immediately Incarnate Truth is presented, a want awakens in the soul which only God can meet.
Oswald Chambers
