Get into the habit of dealing with God about everything. Unless in the first waking moment of the day you learn to fling the door wide back and let God in, you will work on a wrong level all day but swing the door wide open and pray to your Father in secret, and every public thing will be stamped with the presence of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is a great thing to see physical courage, and greater still to see moral courage, but the greatest to see of all is spiritual courage oh, to see a person who will stand true to the integrity of Jesus Christ no matter what he or she goes through!
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
The touchstone of the Holy Spirit’s work in us is the answer to our Lord’s question: “Who do men say that the Son of Man is?” Our Lord makes human destiny depend on that one thing, Who men say He is, because the revelation of Who Jesus is is only given by the Holy Spirit.
Oswald Chambers

No man has ever gone through the crisis of deliberately making Jesus Lord and found Him to be a failure.
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
Image
If we rely on the Holy Spirit, we shall find that our prayers become more and more inarticulate and when they are inarticulate, reverence grows deeper and deeper.
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
The spirit of God has the habit of taking the words of Jesus out of their scriptural setting and putting them into the setting of our personal lives.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is not what a man does that is of final importance, but what he is in what he does. The atmosphere produced by a man, much more than his activities, has the lasting influence.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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
Image
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
Image
There is no greater threat to our devotion to Christ than our service for Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The emphasis to-day is being put on the fact that we have to save men we have not. We have to exalt the Saviour Who saves men, and then make disciples in His Name.
