More quotes by Oswald Chambers

Image
Sanctification means being made one with Jesus so that the disposition that ruled Him will rule us. It will cost everything that is not of God in us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A private relationship of worshiping God is the greatest essential element of spiritual fitness.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The voice of the Spirit is as gentle as a zephyr, so gentle that unless you are living in perfect communion with God, you never hear it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If we understood what happens when we use the Word of God, we would use it oftener.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not meant to be seen as God's perfect, bright-shining examples, but to be seen as the everyday essence of ordinary life exhibiting the miracle of His grace.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong BEING, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we touch the foundation of the reality of the good news of God, we will never bother Him anymore with little personal complaints.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The dearest friend on earth is a mere shadow compared with Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Whenever the insistence is on the point that God answers prayer, we are off the track. The meaning of prayer is that we get hold of God, not of the answer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Remember Whose you are and Whom you serve.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The touchstone of the Holy Spirit’s work in us is the answer to our Lord’s question: “Who do men say that the Son of Man is?” Our Lord makes human destiny depend on that one thing, Who men say He is, because the revelation of Who Jesus is is only given by the Holy Spirit.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The peace that Jesus gives is never engineered by circumstances on the outside.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Beware of harking back to what you once were when God wants you to be something you have never been.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Forgiveness is the divine miracle of grace. The cost to God was the Cross of Christ.
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
Satan tried to put Jesus Christ on the way to becoming King of the world and Savior of men in a way other than that predetermined by God.
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.
