We have become so self-centered that we go to God only for something from Him, and not for God Himself.
Oswald ChambersNever allow anything to divert you from your insight into Jesus Christ. It is the true test of whether you are spiritual or not. To be unspiritual means that other things have a growing fascination for you. Since mine eyes have looked on Jesus, Iโve lost sight of all beside, So enchained my spiritโs vision, Gazing on the Crucified.
Oswald ChambersTrue intercession involves bringing the person, or the circumstance that seems to be crashing in on you, before God, until you are changed by His attitude toward that person or circumstance. People describe intercession by saying, "It is putting yourself in someone elseโs place." That is not true! Intercession is putting yourself in Godโs place; it is having His mind and His perspective.
Oswald ChambersThe 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 ChambersThe key to the missionary's work is the authority of Jesus Christ, not the needs of the lost. We are inclined to look on our Lord as one who assists us in our endeavors for God. Yet our Lord places Himself as the absolute sovereign and supreme Lord over His disciples. He does not say that the lost will never be saved if we don't go- He simply says, "Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations...."
