Oswald Chambers Quotes
-
Sincerity means that the appearance and the reality are exactly the same.
-
When we are consciously aware of being used as broken bread and poured out wine, we have yet another level to reach - a level where all awareness of ourselves and what God is doing through us is completely eliminated. A saint is never consciously a saint - a saint is consciously dependent on God.
-
If there were never any clouds (sorrows and sufferings) in our lives, we would have no faith. God does not come near us without clouds.
-

The reason we see hypocrisy and fraud and unreality in others is because they are all in our own hearts. The great characteristic of a saint is humility-Yes, all those things and other evils would have been manifested in me but for the grace of God, therefore I have no right to judge.

God speaks in the language you know best - not through your ears, but through your circumstances.

It is impossible to live the life of a disciple without definite times of secret prayer. You will find that the place to enter in is in your business, as you walk along the streets, in the ordinary ways of life, when no one dreams you are praying, and the reward comes openly, a revival here, a blessing there.
-
When we say "Thy will be done," do we say it with a sigh? If so, we have never realized that the character of God is holy love; nothing can ever happen outside His purposeful will.

Never become attached to anything that continues to hurt God. For you to be free of it, God must be allowed to hurt whatever it may be.
