More quotes by Oswald Chambers

Image
Wherever there is any element of pride or of conceit, Jesus cannot expound a thing. He will take us through the disappointment of a wounded pride of intellect, through disappointment of heart. He will reveal inordinate affections-thin gs over which we never thought He would have to get us alone.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Jesus Christ has undertaken by His redemption to put in me a heart so pure that God can see nothing to censure.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
Never allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you. Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus, I’ve lost sight of all beside, So enchained my spirit’s vision, Gazing on the Crucified.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It never cost a disciple anything to follow Jesus to talk about cost when you are in love with anyone is an insult.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When you have learned to walk in the light of the Lord, bitterness and contention are impossible.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Beware of any work for God that causes or allows you to avoid concentrating on Him. A great number of Christian workers worship their work. The only concern of Christian workers should be their concentration on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We pray pious blether, our will is not in it, and then we say God does not answer we never asked Him for anything. Asking means that our wills are in what we ask.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest need we have is not to do things, but to believe things.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is not an exercise, it is the life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The Bible is not a book that you can open and say, 'Now, Lord, put some magic into my soul that will open up the meaning of this book.' There is only one way really to understand the Word, and that is through wrestling with the circumstances and happenings of life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A saint is never consciously a saint- a saint is consciously dependent on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
To be 'in the will of God' is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of heart.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Holiness is the balance between my nature and the law of God as expressed in Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord insists on the social aspect of our lives: He shows very distinctly that we cannot further ourselves alone.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our Lord’s teaching is always anti-self-realization. His purpose is not the development of a man His purpose is to make a man exactly like Himself, and the characteristic of the Son of God is self-expenditure.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we say Thy will be done, do we say it with a sigh? If so, we have never realized that the character of God is holy love nothing can ever happen outside His purposeful will.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Beware of bartering the Word of God for a more suitable conception of your own.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never look for justice in this world, never cease to give it.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God does not further our spiritual life in spite of our circumstances, but in and by our circumstances.
Oswald Chambers
