The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer. No wonder Satan tries to keep our minds fussy in active work till we cannot think to pray.

Intercession does not develop the one who intercedes; it blesses the lives of those for whom he intercedes. The reason so few of us intercede is because we don’t understand this.

Any great calamity in the natural world—death, disease, bereavement—will awaken a man when nothing else would, and he is never the same again. We would never know the “treasures of darkness” if we were always in the place of placid security.
– Oswald Chambers –
We think of prayer as a preparation for work, or a calm after having done work, whereas prayer is the essential work. It is the supreme activity of everything that is noblest in our personality.
– Oswald Chambers –
Every time we pray our horizon is altered, our attitude to things is altered, not sometimes but every time, and the amazing thing is that we don’t pray more.

The Christian Church should not be a secret society of specialists, but a public manifestation of believers in Jesus.
– Oswald Chambers –
“If any man will come after Me,” said Jesus, “the condition is that he must leave something behind,” that is to say, his right to himself. Is Jesus Christ worth it, or am I one of those who accept His salvation but thoroughly object to giving up my right to myself to Him?

Time is nothing to God.

Measure your growth in grace by your sensitivity to sin.
