Be relentless and hard on yourself if you are in the habit of talking about the experiences you have had. Faith based on experience is not faith faith based on God’s revealed truth is the only faith there is.

More quotes by Oswald Chambers
It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.
Oswald Chambers
It is much easier to do something than to trust in God we mistake panic for inspiration.
Oswald Chambers
Spiritual lust causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Himself who gives the answer.
Oswald Chambers
It is impossible to live the life of a disciple without definite times of secret prayer. You will find that the place to enter in is in your business, as you walk along the streets, in the ordinary ways of life, when no one dreams you are praying, and the reward comes openly, a revival here, a blessing there.
Oswald Chambers
Measure your growth in grace by your sensitiveness to sin.
Oswald Chambers
God does not expect us to imitate Jesus Christ He expects us to allow the life of Jesus to be manifested in our moral flesh.
Oswald Chambers
One of the most difficult questions to answer in Christian work is, 'What do you expect to do?' You don't know what you are going to do. The only thing you know is that God knows what He is doing.......Hav e you been asking what God is going to do? He will never tell you. God does not tell you what He is going to do. He reveals to you who he is.
Oswald Chambers
God's purpose is not to perfect me to make me a trophy in His showcase He is getting me to the place where He can use me. Let Him do what He wants.
Oswald Chambers
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
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
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
The nature of faith is that it must be tried.
Oswald Chambers
If the Spirit of God detects anything in you that is wrong, He doesn't ask you to make it right He only asks you to accept the light of truth, and then He will make it right. A child of the light will confess sin instantly and stand completely open before God. But a child of the darkness will say, “Oh, I can explain that.
Oswald Chambers
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
There is no joy in the soul that has forgotten what God prizes.
Oswald Chambers
We must build our faith not on fading lights but on the Light that never fails.
Oswald Chambers
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
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
God regenerates us and puts us in contact with all his divine resources, but he cannot make us walk according to his will.
Oswald Chambers
As Christians we are not out for our own cause at all, we are out for the cause of God, which can never be our cause. We do not know what God is after, but we have to maintain our relationship with Him whatever happens.
Oswald Chambers
