Image
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
Image
When I was born again, I received the very life of the risen Lord from Jesus Himself.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we preach the love of God there is a danger of forgetting that the Bible reveals not first the love of God but the intense, blazing holiness of God, with His love at the center of that holiness.
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
Temptation is a suggested short cut to the realization of the highest at which I aim - not towards what I understand as evil, but towards what I understand as good.
Oswald Chambers
Image
All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never run before God gives you His direction. If you have the slightest doubt, then He is not guiding. Whenever there is doubt-wait.
Oswald Chambers
Image
No healthy Christian ever chooses suffering he chooses God's will, as Jesus did, whether it means suffering or not.

Image
Sin is blatant mutiny against God, and either sin or God must die in my life.

Reflected peace is the proof that you are right with God because you are at liberty to turn your mind to Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Whenever God's will is in the ascendant all compulsion is gone. When we choose deliberately to obey Him then with all His almighty power.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We lean to our own understanding, or we bank on service and do away with prayer, and consequently by succeeding in the external we fail in the eternal, because in the eternal we succeed only by prevailing prayer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God did not direct His call to Isaiah— Isaiah overheard God saying, . . . who will go for Us? The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear God’s call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The measure of the worth of our public activity for God is the private profound communion we have with Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Human nature, if healthy, demands excitement and if it does not obtain its thrilling excitement in the right way, it will seek it in the wrong. God never makes bloodless stoics He makes no passionless saints.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Eternal life is not a gift from God eternal life is the gift OF GOD.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If God allows you to be stripped of the exterior portions of your life, He means for you to cultivate the interior
Oswald Chambers
Image
When you have learned to walk in the light of the Lord, bitterness and contention are impossible.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Faith is unutterable trust in God, trust which never dreams that He will not stand by us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
I have to get to the point of the absolute and unquestionable relationship that takes everything exactly as it comes from Him. God never guides us at some time in the future, but always here and now. Realize that the Lord is here now, and the freedom you receive is immediate.
