To be “in the will of God” is not a matter of intellectual discernment, but a state of heart. To a sanctified soul the will of God is its implicit life, as natural as breathing. It is the sick man who knows intellectually what the will of God is; but a sanctified heart is the expression of the will of God. Its motto is: “My Father can do what he likes with me, He may bless me to death, or give me a bitter cup; I delight to do His will.”
– Oswald Chambers –
God has one destined end for mankind – holiness! His one aim is the production of saints. God is not an eternal blessing-machine for men. He did not come to save men out of pity. He came to save men because He had created them to be holy.
– Oswald Chambers –
Faith is the indefinable certainty of God behind every thing, and is the one thing the Spirit of God makes clearer and clearer as we go on.
– Oswald Chambers –
The prayer of the feeblest saint who lives in the Spirit and keeps right with God is a terror to Satan. The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer.
– Oswald Chambers –
O Lord, explore down to the deepest springs where the Spirit maketh intercession for us, and read the prayers I cannot utter.
– Oswald Chambers –
Prayer is not getting things from God, that is the most initial stage; prayer is getting into perfect communion with God.
– Oswald Chambers –
It is a matter of indifference to God’s grace how abominable I am if I come to the light; but woe be to me if I refuse the light. (See John 3:19-21)
– Oswald Chambers –
Beware of anything that competes with your loyalty to Jesus Christ.
– Oswald Chambers –
A child always admires anyone with skill, and the teacher who says, “Do this and that has no influence over a child compared with the one who says, “Come and do this with me.” When a child has seen his teacher do a thing and is asked to do it, instantly the instinct of emulation is at work.
– Oswald Chambers –
