Oswald Chambers

""God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.""

- Oswald Chambers

"Remember Whose you are and Whom you serve. Provoke yourself by recollection, and your affection for God will increase tenfold; your imagination will not be starved any longer, but will be quick and enthusiastic, and your hope will be inexpressibly bright."

- Oswald Chambers

""Prayer does not fit us for the greater work, prayer is the greater work.""

- Oswald Chambers

"If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart."

- Oswald Chambers

"Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time."

- Oswald Chambers

"Faith never knows where it is being led, but it loves and knows the One who is leading."

- Oswald Chambers

"We have to pray with our eyes on God, not on the difficulties."

- Oswald Chambers

"When you are in the dark, listen, and God will give you a very precious message."

- Oswald Chambers

"Prayer is the exercise of drawing on the grace of God."

- Oswald Chambers

"God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede."

- Oswald Chambers

"We tend to use prayer as a last resort, but God wants it to be our first line of defense. We pray when there's nothing else we can do, but God wants us to pray before we do anything at all. Most of us would prefer, however, to spend our time doing something that will get immediate results. We don't want to wait for God to resolve matters in His good time because His idea of 'good time' is seldom in sync with ours."

- Oswald Chambers

"God is my Father, He loves me, I shall never think of anything He will forget. Why should I worry?"

- Oswald Chambers

"Jesus Christ became Incarnate for one purpose, to make a way back to God that man might stand before Him as He was created to do, the friend and lover of God Himself."

- Oswald Chambers

"Tenacity is more than endurance, it is endurance combined with the absolute certainty that what we are looking for is going to transpire."

- Oswald Chambers

"The busyness of things obscures our concentration on God … Never let a hurried lifestyle disturb the relationship of abiding in Him. This is an easy thing to allow, but we must guard against it."

- Oswald Chambers

"The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting."

- Oswald Chambers

"Prayer is not only asking, but an attitude of mind which produces the atmosphere in which asking is perfectly natural."

- Oswald Chambers

"It is the unseen and the spiritual in people that determines the outward and the actual."

- Oswald Chambers

"Never allow anything that divides or destroys the oneness of your life with Christ to remain in your life without facing it."

- Oswald Chambers

"Worship and intercession must go together; the one is impossible without the other. Intercession means that we rouse ourselves up to get the mind of Christ about the one for whom we pray."
