We shall find that the spheres God brings us into are not meant to teach us something but to make us something.
Oswald Chambers

The prayer of the feeblest saint who lives in the Spirit and keeps right with God is a terror to Satan. The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer no spiritualistic seance can succeed in the presence of a humble praying saint. No wonder Satan tries to keep our minds fussy in active work till we cannot think in prayer.

Our Lord’s making of a disciple is supernatural. He does not build on any natural capacity of ours at all. God does not ask us to do the things that are naturally easy for us- He only asks us to do the things that we are perfectly fit to do through His grace, and that is where the cross we must bear will always come.

Oswald Chambers

The Cross did not happen to Jesus: He came on purpose for it. He is “the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sin is blatant mutiny against God.
Oswald Chambers

God does not give us overcoming life He gives us life as we overcome.
Oswald Chambers
Image
There is no need to get to a place of prayer pray wherever you are.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never consider whether you are of use but ever consider that you are not your own but His.

The true expression of Christian character is not in good-doing but in God-likeness.
Oswald Chambers

Our salvation comes to us so easily because it cost God so much.
