Beware of harking back to what you once were when God wants you to be something you have never been.

Oswald Chambers

You must learn to wrestle against the things that hinder your communication with God.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Never make the blunder of trying to forecast the way God is going to answer your prayer.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Answer Prayer Way Yourself
Obedience to the call of Christ nearly always costs everything to two people- the one who is called, and the one who loves that one.

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.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

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

Character Expression God Goodness Human Religion
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.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

God Himself Holy Intense Love
God rarely allows a person to see how great a blessing he is to others.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

We are not responsible for the circumstances we are in, but we are responsible for the way we allow those circumstances to affect us; we can either allow them to get on top of us or we can allow them to transform us into what God wants us to be.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Circumstance God Ourselves Responsible Transformation
Get into the habit of saying, ”Speak, Lord,” and life will become a romance.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

God Habit Life Romance Talk
The life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Faint Faith Life Walk Wings
Leave the Irreparable Past in His hands, and step out into the Irresistible Future with Him.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Future Hands Himself Leaving Past
Never focus your eyes on the obstacle or the difficulty. The obstacle will be a matter of total indifference to the river that will flow steadily through you if you will simply remember to stay focused on the Source.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Difficult Flow Focus Obstacle Remember Yourself
