Quotes by Oswald Chambers

Some of us are like the Dead Sea, always taking in but never giving out, because we are not rightly related to the Lord Jesus.

As we draw on the grace of God He increases voluntary poverty all along the line. Always give the best you have got every time; never think about who you are giving it to; let other people take it or leave it as they choose. Pour out the best you have, and always be poor. Never reserve anything; never be diplomatic and careful about the treasure God gives.

The deadliest Pharisaism today is not hypocrisy, but unconscious unreality.

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.

The love of God pays no attention to my prejudices caused by my natural individuality.

Be careful that you dont become a hypocrite by spending all your time trying to get others right with God before you worship Him yourself.

The Lords questions always reveal the true me to myself.

There is something in human pride that can stand big troubles, but we need the supernatural grace and power of God to stand by us in the little things. The tiniest detail in which we obey has all the omnipotent power of the grace of God behind it. When we do our duty, not for duty’s sake, but because we believe that God is engineering our circumstances in that way, then at the very point of our obedience the whole superb grace of God is ours.

One of the greatest strains in life is the strain of waiting for God.

When God brings a time of waiting, and appears to be unresponsive, dont fill it with busyness, just wait.

...never act on the impulse of that feeling. If you do, you will cause difficult situations to arise which will take years to untangle. Wait for Gods timing and He will do it without any heartache or disappointment.

The touchstone of the Holy Spirit’s work in us is the answer to our Lord’s question: “Who do men say that the Son of Man is?” Our Lord makes human destiny depend on that one thing, Who men say He is, because the revelation of Who Jesus is is only given by the Holy Spirit.

Beware of anything that would tarnish Gods mirror in you. It is always something good stains it—good, but not best.

My worth to God publicly is measured by what I really am in my private life.” Oswald Chambers

Whenever we put other things first, there is confusion.

I am blind to the very things that make for our own peace.

Remember whose you are and whom you serve.

Human nature if it healthy demands excitement and if it does not obtain its thrilling excitement in the right way it will seek it in the wrong. God never makes bloodless stoics He makes no passionless saints.

We look upon prayer as a means of getting things for ourselves The Bible idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.

The whole meaning of prayer is that we may know God.
