Quote

We read some things in the Bible three hundred and sixty-five times and they mean nothing to us, then all of a sudden we see what God means, because in some particular we have obeyed God, and instantly His nature is opened up.

More quotes by 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
There is nothing to be valued more highly than to have people praying for us God links up His power in answer to their prayers.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way God is going to answer your prayer.
Oswald Chambers
Image
We give credit to human wisdom when we should give credit to the divine guidance of God being exhibited through childlike people who were “foolish” enough to trust God’s wisdom and His supernatural equipment.
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
The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service to Him. It is never 'Do, do' with the Lord, but 'Be, be' and He will 'do' through you. The only way to keep true to God is by a steady persistent refusal to be interested in Christian work and to be interested alone in Jesus Christ.

No power on earth or in hell can conquer the Spirit of God in a human spirit
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong BEING, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.
Oswald Chambers
Image
God can never make us wine if we object to the fingers He uses to crush us with.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Sin is blatant mutiny against God, and either sin or God must die in my life.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Living a life of faith means never knowing where you are being led - but it does mean loving and knowing the One who is leading. It is literally a life of FAITH, not of understanding and reason- - a life of knowing Him who calls us to go.
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
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
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
Image
Our Lord insists on the social aspect of our lives: He shows very distinctly that we cannot further ourselves alone.
Oswald Chambers
Image
The greatest competitor of devotion to Jesus is service for Him.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Never water down the Word of God, but preach it in its undiluted sternness. There must be unflinching faithfulness to the Word of God, but when you come to personal dealings with others, remember who you are- you are not some special being created in heaven, but a sinner saved by grace.
Oswald Chambers
Image
Spend plenty of time with God let other things go, but don't neglect Him. We are not here to do work for God, we are here to be workers with Him, those through whom He can do His work.
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
'I have chosen you!' Keep that note of greatness in your creed. It is not that you have got God but that He has got you.
Oswald Chambers
