It is a trap to presume that God wants to make us perfect specimens of what He can do— God’s purpose is to make us one with Himself.
Oswald ChambersThe prayer of the feeblest saint who lives in the Spirit and keeps right with God is a terror to Satan. The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer; no spiritualistic seance can succeed in the presence of a humble praying saint. No wonder Satan tries to keep our minds fussy in active work till we cannot think in prayer.
Oswald ChambersThe life of faith is not a life of mounting up with wings, but a life of walking and not fainting.
Oswald ChambersWhen a man gets to despair he knows that all his thinking will never get him out. He will only get out by the sheer creative effort of God. Consequently he is in the right attitude to receive from God that which he cannot gain for himself.
