Let the attitude of your life be a continual willingness to "go out" in dependence upon God, and your life will have a sacred and inexpressible charm about it that is very satisfying to Jesus. You must learn to "go out" through your convictions, creeds, or experiences until you come to the point in your faith where there is nothing between yourself and God.
Oswald Chambers -
An unguarded strength is a double weakness.
Oswald Chambers
-
No power on earth or in hell can conquer the Spirit of God in a human spirit.
Oswald Chambers -
The height of the mountaintop is measured by the drab drudgery of the valley.
Oswald Chambers -
Quit praying about yourself and spend your life for the sake of others as the bondservant of Jesus. That is the true meaning of being broken bread and poured-out wine in real life.
Oswald Chambers -
If ever we are going to be made into wine, we will have to be crushed; you cannot drink grapes. Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed. I wonder what kind of finger and thumb God has been using to squeeze you, and you have been like a marble and escaped?
Oswald Chambers -
It is the unseen and the spiritual in people that determines the outward and the actual.
Oswald Chambers -
The central point of the Kingdom of Jesus Christ is a personal relationship with Him, not public usefulness to others.
Oswald Chambers
-
We look upon the enemy of our souls as a conquered foe, so he is, but only to God, not to us.
Oswald Chambers -
One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God.
Oswald Chambers -
God does not give us overcoming life; He gives us life as we overcome.
Oswald Chambers -
We all know people who have been made much meaner and more irritable and more intolerable to live with by suffering: it is not right to say that all suffering perfects. It only perfects one type of person ...... the one who accepts the call of God in Christ Jesus.
Oswald Chambers -
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 -
Be persistent with your disturbance until you get face to face with the Lord himself. Don't deify common sense.
Oswald Chambers
-
Am I becoming more and more in love with God as a holy God, or with the conception of an amiable Being who says, “Oh well, sin doesn’t matter much”?
Oswald Chambers -
We have to recognize that sin is a fact, not a defect; sin is red-handed mutiny against God. Either God or sin must die in my life...If sin rules in me, God's life in me will be killed; if God rules in me, sin in me will be killed.
Oswald Chambers -
Jesus Christ out-socialists the socialists. He says that in His Kingdom he that is greatest shall be the servant of all. The real test of the saint is not preaching the gospel, but washing disciples' feet, that is, doing the things that do not count in the actual estimate of men but count everything in the estimate of God.
Oswald Chambers -
We imagine that whatever is unpleasant is our duty! Is that anything like the spirit of our Lord, "I *delight* to do Thy will, O My God.
Oswald Chambers -
When you pray, things remain the same, but you begin to be different. The same thing when a man falls in love, his circumstances and conditions remain the same, but he has a sovereign preference in his heart for another person which transfigures everything!
Oswald Chambers -
The greatest test of Christianity is the wear and tear of daily life; it is like the shining of silver: the more it is rubbed the brighter it grows.
Oswald Chambers
-
When a man is at his wits' end it is not a cowardly thing to pray, it is the only way he can get in touch with Reality.
Oswald Chambers -
My unrestrained commitment of myself to God gives the Holy Spirit the opportunity to grant to me the holiness of Jesus Christ.
Oswald Chambers -
Beware of the inclination to dictate to God what consequences you would allow as a condition of your obedience to Him.
Oswald Chambers -
A river reaches places which its source never knows. And Jesus said that, if we have received His fullness, "rivers of living water" will flow out of us, reaching in blessing even "to the end of the earth" regardless of how small the visible effects of our lives may appear to be.
Oswald Chambers
