If you are going to be used by God, He will take you through a number of experiences that are not meant for you personally at all. They are designed to make you useful in His hands, and to enable you to understand what takes place in the lives of others.

Oswald Chambers

The root of all sin is the suspicion that God is not good.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

God Goodness Sin Suspicious
If I obey Jesus Christ, the redemption of God will flow through me to the lives of others, because behind the deed of obedience is the reality of Almighty God.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Flow God Obedience Ourselves Reality
Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you cannot understand at the time.

The more you fulfill yourself, the less you will seek God.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Fulfill God Seek Yourself
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
God gives us the vision, then he takes us down to the valley to batter us into the shape of the vision, and it is in the valley that so many of us faint and give way. Every vision will be made real if we will have patience.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

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
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.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Call Love Obedience Oneself
The main characteristic which is the proof of the indwelling Spirit is an amazing tenderness in personal dealing, and a blazing truthfulness with regard to God’s Word.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Character Evidence God Regard Truth Word
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.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Change Person Prayer Sight Truth Yourself
The peace that Jesus gives is never engineered by circumstances on the outside.

It never cost a disciple anything to follow Jesus; to talk about cost when you are in love with anyone is an insult.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Cost Discipline Follow Insult Talk Yourself
God places His saints where they will bring the most glory to Him, and we are totally incapable of judging where that may be.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Glory God Himself Judgement Place
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.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Complete Himself Moments Power Spirit Weakness
God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.
OSWALD CHAMBERS
