More quotes by Oswald Chambers
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
Every God-given vision will become real if we will only have patience.
Oswald Chambers
It is much easier to do something than to trust in God we mistake panic for inspiration.
Oswald Chambers
God plants His saints in the most useless places. We say, 'God intends me to be here because I am so useful.' Jesus never estimated His life along the line of the greatest use. God puts His saints where they will glorify Him, and we are no judge at all of where that is.
Oswald Chambers
Worship is giving God the best that He has given you.
Oswald Chambers
The secret of the missionary is...I am His, and He is carrying out His work through me.
Oswald Chambers
Repentance always brings a person to the point of saying, “I have sinned.” The surest sign that God is at work in his life is when he says that and means it. Anything less is simply sorrow for having made foolish mistakes-a reflex action caused by self-disgust.
Oswald Chambers
No man has ever gone through the crisis of deliberately making Jesus Lord and found Him to be a failure.
Oswald Chambers
When you pray, things remain the same, but you begin to be different. The same thing when a man falls in love, his circumstances and conditions remain the same, but he has a sovereign preference in his heart for another person which transfigures everything!
Oswald Chambers
God is my Father, He loves me, I shall never think of anything He will forget. Why should I worry?
Oswald Chambers
Prayer is simple, prayer is supernatural, and to anyone not related to our Lord Jesus Christ, prayer is apt to look stupid.
Oswald Chambers
There is only one way by which I can get right with God, and that is through the death of Jesus Christ. I must get rid of the underlying idea that I can ever be right with God because of my obedience. Who of us could ever obey God to absolute perfection!
Oswald Chambers
When the darkness of dismay comes, endure until it is over, because out of it will come that following of Jesus which is an unspeakable joy.
Oswald Chambers
The Christian life is one of spiritual courage and determination lived out in our flesh
Oswald Chambers
Perseverance is more than endurance. It is endurance combined with absolute assurance and certainty that what we are looking for is going to happen.
Oswald Chambers
The truth is we have nothing to fear and nothing to overcome because He is all in all and we are more than conquerors through Him.
Oswald Chambers
Begin to know Him now, and finish never
Oswald Chambers
Never take your obedience as the reason God blesses you obedience is the outcome of being rightly related to God.
Oswald Chambers
The aim of the missionary is to do God's will, not to be useful, not to win the heathan he is useful and does win the heathen, but that is not his aim. His aim is to do the will of his Lord.
Oswald Chambers
It is easy to turn our religious life into a cathedral for beautiful memories, but there are feet to be washed . . .
