The secret of the missionary is...I am His, and He is carrying out His work through me.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The secret of Christian quietness is not indifference, but the knowledge that God is my Father, He loves me, and I shall never think of anything He will forget. With this knowledge, worry becomes an impossibility.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong BEING, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
At times God puts us through the discipline of darkness to teach us to heed Him. Song birds are taught to sing in the dark, and we are put into the shadow of God’s hand until we learn to hear Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God wants to use us as He used His own Son
Oswald Chambers
Image
When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way God is going to answer your prayer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Prayer is the vital breath of the Christian not the thing that makes him alive, but the evidence that he is alive.
Oswald Chambers
Image
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.

Image
The battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Ask God for what you want, but you cannot ask if you are not asking for a right thing. When you draw near to God, you cease from asking for things.Your Father knows what things you have need of, before you ask him. Then, why ask? That you may get to know Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God's end is to enable me to see that he can walk on the chaos of my life just now.
Oswald Chambers
Image
When we pray in the Name of Jesus the answers are in accordance with His nature, and if we think our prayers are unanswered it is because we are not interpreting the answer along this line.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God works this unspeakable mystery of entire sanctification in your life and mine. People try to seek the experience of entire sanctification in ways other than God's way but the wonderful Spirit of God will remove confusion and enable us to see that the only means to obtain the experience of entire sanctification by faith is the grace of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
It is perilously possible to make our conceptions of God like molten lead poured into a specially designed mould, and when it is cold and hard we fling it at the heads of the religious people who don't agree with us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The one thing for which we are all being disciplined is to know that God is real. As soon as God becomes real, other people become shadows. Nothing that other saints do or say can ever perturb the one who is built on God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Discipleship is based solely on devotion to Jesus Christ, not on following after a particular belief or doctrine.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The only right a Christian has is the right to give up his rights.
Oswald Chambers

Never let the sense of failure corrupt your new action.

God does not give us overcoming life He gives us life as we overcome.
