The greatest test of a man’s character is his tongue.

Oswald Chambers

God never gives us discernment in order that we may criticize, but that we may intercede.

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
Jesus Christ carries on intercession for us in heaven; the Holy Ghost carries on intercession in us on earth; and we the saints have to carry on intercession for all men.

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.

Change Person Prayer Sight Truth Yourself
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.

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
Never allow anything that divides or destroys the oneness of your life with Christ to remain in your life without facing it.
OSWALD CHAMBERS

Destroy Division Face Life Yourself
It never cost a disciple anything to follow Jesus; to talk about cost when you are in love with anyone is an insult.

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

It is a joy to Jesus when a person takes time to walk more intimately with Him. The bearing of fruit is always shown in scripture to be a visible result of an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ.

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.

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.
