I have to learn that the aim in life is God's, not mine.
Oswald Chambers
Image
No power on earth or in hell can conquer the Spirit of God in a human spirit
Oswald Chambers

Our Lord's conception of discipleship is not that we work for God, but that God works through us.
Oswald Chambers

One of the most amazing revelations of God comes to us when we learn that it is in the everyday things of life that we realize the magnificent deity of Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Wherever there is any element of pride or of conceit, Jesus cannot expound a thing. He will take us through the disappointment of a wounded pride of intellect, through disappointment of heart. He will reveal inordinate affections-thin gs over which we never thought He would have to get us alone.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Self pity is of the devil, and if I wallow in it, I cannot be used by God for his purpose in the world.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God cannot reveal anything to us if we have not His spirit.
Oswald Chambers

Never consider whether you are of use but ever consider that you are not your own but His.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Take care lest you play the hypocrite by spending all your time trying to get others right before you worship God yourself.

God will never reveal more truth about himself until you have obeyed what you know already
Oswald Chambers
Image
Worship and intercession must go together, the one is impossible without the other. Intercession means that we rouse ourselves up to get the mind of Christ about the one for whom we pray.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.
Oswald Chambers
Image
So long as there is a human being who does not know Jesus Christ, I am his debtor to serve him until he does.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Speak, Lord” make time to listen. Chastening is more than a means of discipline, it is meant to get me to the place of saying, “Speak, Lord.”
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we pray in the Name of Jesus the answers are in accordance with His nature, and if we think our prayers are unanswered it is because we are not interpreting the answer along this line.
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
Our understanding of God is the answer to prayer getting things from God is God's indulgence of us. When God stops giving us things, He brings us into the place where we can begin to understand Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Faith is not intelligent understanding, faith is deliberate commitment to a Person where I see no way.
Oswald Chambers
Image
But God is the God of our yesterdays, and He allows the memory of them to turn the past into a ministry of spiritual growth for our future. God reminds us of the past to protect us from a very shallow security in the present.
Oswald Chambers

Prayer is simple, as simple as a child making known its wants to it parents.
