The author who benefits you most is not the one who tells you something you did not know before, but the one who gives expression to the truth that has been dumbly struggling in you for utterance.
Oswald Chambers -
If we are abandoned to Jesus we have no ends of our own to serve.
Oswald Chambers
-
'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 -
The moment we recognize our complete weakness and our dependence upon Him will be the very moment that the Spirit of God will exhibit His power.
Oswald Chambers -
Jesus Christ founded His Kingdom on the weakest link of all-a Baby.
Oswald Chambers -
All our fret and worry is caused by calculating without God.
Oswald Chambers -
One of the most subtle burdens God ever puts on us as saints is this burden of discernment concerning other souls. He reveals things in order that we may take the burden of these souls before Him and form the mind of Christ about them. It is not that we bring God into touch with our minds, but that we rouse ourselves until God is able to convey His mind to us about the one for whom we intercede.
Oswald Chambers -
You can never argue anyone into the Kingdom of Heaven, you cannot argue anyone anywhere. The only result of arguing is to prove to your own mind that you are right and the other fellow wrong. You cannot argue for truth; but immediately Incarnate Truth is presented, a want awakens in the soul which only God can meet.
Oswald Chambers
-
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 -
We are not sent to do battle for God, but to be used by God in His battles.
Oswald Chambers -
Happiness depends on what happens; joy does not.
Oswald Chambers -
Satan tried to put Jesus Christ on the way to becoming King of the world and Savior of men in a way other than that predetermined by God.
Oswald Chambers -
The good is always the enemy of the best.
Oswald Chambers -
Earnestness is not by any means everything; it is very often a subtle form of pious pride because it is obsessed with the method and not with the Master.
Oswald Chambers
-
Your god may be your little Christian habit - the habit of prayer or Bible reading at certain times of your day. Watch how your Father will upset your schedule if you begin to worship your habit instead of what the habit symbolizes. We say, 'I can't do that right now; this is my time alone with God.' No, this is your time alone with your habit.
Oswald Chambers -
Sincerity means that the appearance and the reality are exactly the same.
Oswald Chambers -
No man has ever gone through the crisis of deliberately making Jesus Lord and found Him to be a failure.
Oswald Chambers -
To be obsessed by God is to have an effective barricade against all the assaults of the enemy.
Oswald Chambers -
We are here for God's designs, not for our own.
Oswald Chambers -
Never look for justice in this world, never cease to give it.
Oswald Chambers
-
A man ceases to be an honest doubter the moment he refuses one way of getting at the truth because he does not like that way.
Oswald Chambers -
God nowhere tells us to give up things for the sake of giving them up. He tells us to give them up for the sake of the only thing worth having - viz., life with Himself. It is a question of loosening the bonds that hinder the life.
Oswald Chambers -
Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way God is going to answer your prayer.
Oswald Chambers -
One great effect of prayer is that it enables the soul to command the body. By obedience I make my body submissive to my soul, but prayer puts my soul in command of my body.
Oswald Chambers
