If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.
– Oswald Chambers –
Unless we have WITHIN us that which is ABOVE us, we will eventually yield to that which is AMONG us.

Having the reality of God’s presence is not dependent on our being in a particular circumstance or place, but is only dependent on our determination to keep the Lord before us continually.
– Oswald Chambers –
If Jesus ever commanded us to do something that He was unable to equip us to accomplish, He would be a liar. And if we make our own inability a stumbling block or an excuse not to be obedient, it means that we are telling God that there is something which He has not yet taken into account.
– Oswald Chambers –
I have now concentrated all my prayers into one, and that one prayer is this, that I may die to self, and live wholly to Him.
– Charles Spurgeon –
The only right a Christian has is the right to give up his rights.
– Oswald Chambers –
Nothing is too great and nothing is too small to commit into the hands of the Lord.
– AW Pink –
God takes away the world, that the heart may cleave more to Him in sincerity.
– Thomas Watson –
[Speaking of the Holy Spirit coming upon him]
I went to preaching again. The sermons were not different; I did not present any new truths, and yet hundreds were converted. I would not now be placed back where I was before that blessed experience if you should give me all the world—it would be as dust in the balance.
