More quotes by Oswald Chambers

Image
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
Image
The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Our circumstances are the means God uses to exhibit just how wonderfully perfect and extraordinarily pure His Son is.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God is the Great Engineer, creating circumstances to bring about moments in our lives of divine importance, leading us to divine appointments
Oswald Chambers
Image
The vision that God gives is not some unattainable castle in the sky, but a vision of what God wants you to be down here.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Faith is unutterable trust in God, trust which never dreams that He will not stand by us.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We are not meant to be seen as God's perfect, bright-shining examples, but to be seen as the everyday essence of ordinary life exhibiting the miracle of His grace.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God's training ground, where the missionary weapons are found, is the hidden, personal, worshiping life of the saint.
Oswald Chambers
Image
People pour themselves into their own doctrines, and God has to blast them out of their preconceived ideas before they can become devoted to Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers
Image
But God is the God of our yesterdays, and He allows the memory of them to turn the past into a ministry of spiritual growth for our future. God reminds us of the past to protect us from a very shallow security in the present.
Oswald Chambers
Image
No enthusiasm will ever stand the strain that Jesus Christ will put upon His worker, only one thing will, and that is a personal relationship to Himself which has gone through the mill of His spring-cleaning until there is only one purpose left--I am here for God to send me where He will.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The Christian Church should not be a secret society of specialists, but a public manifestation of believers in Jesus.
Oswald Chambers
Image
If you want to be of use to God, maintain the proper relationship with Jesus Christ by staying focused on Him & He will make use of you every minute you live- yet you will be unaware, on the conscious level of your life, that you are being used of Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
A good book, in the language of the book-sellers, is a salable one in that of the curious, a scarce one in that of men of sense, a useful and instructive one.
Oswald Chambers
Image
An unguarded strength is a double weakness.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Make the determination to abide in Jesus wherever you are now or wherever you may be placed in the future.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The people who influence us most are not those who buttonhole us and talk to us, but those who live their lives like the stars in heaven and the lilies in the field, perfectly simply and unaffectedly. Those are the lives that mould
Oswald Chambers
Image
By the supernatural miracle of God's grace I stand justified, not because I am sorry for my sin, not because I have repented, but because of what Jesus has done.
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.
