Oswald Chambers quotes about
his-love firsts holiness
When we preach the love of God there is a danger of forgetting that the Bible reveals not first the love of God but the intense, blazing holiness of God, with His love at the center of that holiness.
if-there-is-a-god fear-nothing fear-god
The remarkable thing about God is that when you fear God, you fear nothing else, whereas if you do not fear God, you fear everything else.
secret-places battle world
The battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world.
weakness spirit moments
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.
realizing lord here-and-now
I have to get to the point of the absolute and unquestionable relationship that takes everything exactly as it comes from Him. God never guides us at some time in the future, but always here and now. Realize that the Lord is here now, and the freedom you receive is immediate.
ordinary-days ideas grace
We have the idea that God is going to do some exceptional thing- that He is preparing and equipping us for some extraordinary work in the future. But as we grow in His grace we find that God is glorifying Himself here and now, at this very moment. If we have God’s assurance behind us, the most amazing strength becomes ours, and we learn to sing, glorifying Him even in the ordinary days and ways of life.
weakness spirit manifest
Complete weakness and dependence will always be the occasion for the Spirit of God to manifest His power.
independence sin deliberate
Sin is not wrong doing, it is wrong BEING, deliberate and emphatic independence of God.
neglect workers time-with-god
Spend plenty of time with God; let other things go, but don't neglect Him. We are not here to do work for God, we are here to be workers with Him, those through whom He can do His work.
oneness fellowship depth
The lasting value of our public service for God is measured by the depth of the intimacy of our private times of fellowship and oneness with Him.
satisfaction our-lives seeking
Now is the time for us to stop seeking our own satisfaction and to pour out our lives before HIM.
christian-inspirational earth done
You will never cease to be the most amazed person on earth at what God has done for you on the inside.
limits impossible allowing
God can do nothing for me until I recognize the limits of what is humanly possible, allowing Him to do the impossible.
break-through break surprising
Keep your life so constantly in touch with God that His surprising power can break through at any point.
