The expression of Christian character is not good doing, but God-likeness. If the Spirit of God has transformed you within, you will exhibit Divine characteristics in your life, not good human characteristics . God’s life in us expresses itself as God’s life, not as human life trying to be godly.

Oswald Chambers

Don’t plan without God. God seems to have a delightful way of upsetting the plans we have made, when we have not taken Him into account.

Are you learning to say things after listening to God, or are you saying things and trying to make God’s word fit in?
OSWALD CHAMBERS

God Learning Listening Yourself
To say that ‘prayer changes things’ is not as close to the truth as saying, ‘prayer changes me and then I change things.’ God has established things so that prayer, on the basis of redemption, changes the way a person looks at things.

The battle is lost or won in the secret places of the will before God, never first in the external world.

All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.

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.

We look upon prayer simply as a means of getting things for ourselves, but the biblical purpose of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

God Ourselves Prayer Purpose
When God gets us alone through suffering, heartbreak, temptation, disappointment, sickness, or by thwarted friendship – when He gets us absolutely alone, and we are totally speechless, unable to ask even one question, then He begins to teach us.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Alone Beginning Friendship God Ourselves Question Suffering Teaching
Solitude with God repairs the damage done by the fret and noise and clamour of the world.

It is not true to say that God wants to teach us something in our trials. Through every cloud He brings our way, He wants us to unlearn something.
