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
Our Lord insists on the social aspect of our lives: He shows very distinctly that we cannot further ourselves alone.
Oswald Chambers
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
The loadstar of a saint is God Himself, not estimated usefulness. It is the work that God does through us that count, not what we do for him.
Oswald Chambers
Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations
Oswald Chambers
No power on earth or in hell can conquer the Spirit of God in a human spirit
Oswald Chambers
The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing but in God-likeness.
Oswald Chambers
The characteristic of the new birth is that I yield myself so completely to God that Christ is formed in me.
Oswald Chambers
One of the greatest snares is the number of good things we might do. Jesus Christ never did the good things He might have done, He did everything He ought to do because He had His eye fixed on His Father's will and He sacrificed Himself for His Father.
Oswald Chambers
To identify with the death of Jesus Christ means that we must die to everything that was never a part of Him.
Oswald Chambers
God saved us to make us holy, not happy. Some experiences may not contribute to our happiness, but all can be made to contribute to our holiness. Vance Havner The destined end of man is not happiness, nor health, but holiness. God's one aim is the production of saints.
Oswald Chambers
We must build our faith not on fading lights but on the Light that never fails.
Oswald Chambers
The prayer of the feeblest saint who lives in the Spirit and keeps right with God is a terror to Satan. The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer no spiritualistic seance can succeed in the presence of a humble praying saint. No wonder Satan tries to keep our minds fussy in active work till we cannot think in prayer.
Oswald Chambers
God's end is to enable me to see that he can walk on the chaos of my life just now.
Oswald Chambers
Every time we pray our horizon is altered, our attitude to things is altered, not sometimes but every time, and the amazing thing is that we don't pray more.
Oswald Chambers
Be rightly related to God, find your joy there, and out of you will flow rivers of living water.
Oswald Chambers
It is a trap to presume that God wants to make us perfect specimens of what He can do— God’s purpose is to make us one with Himself.
Oswald Chambers
No man has ever gone through the crisis of deliberately making Jesus Lord and found Him to be a failure.
Oswald Chambers
Discipleship is based solely on devotion to Jesus Christ, not on following after a particular belief or doctrine.
Oswald Chambers
Jesus Christ founded His Kingdom on the weakest link of all-a Baby.
Oswald Chambers
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.
