The men with God's 'go' in them have these three characteristics-a saving experience, the evidence of supernatural power at work, and the spiritual efficacy of success in prayer.
Oswald ChambersThe test of the life of a saint is not success, but faithfulness in human life as it actually is. We will set up success in Christian work as the aim; the aim is to manifest the glory of God in human life, to live the life hid with Christ in God in human conditions. Our human relationships are the actual conditions in which the ideal life of God is to be exhibited.
Oswald ChambersSpiritual lust causes me to demand an answer from God, instead of seeking God Himself who gives the answer.
Oswald ChambersIt is better to enter into life maimed but lovely in Godโs sight than to appear lovely to manโs eyes but lame to Godโs.
Oswald ChambersCan Jesus Christ see the agony of His soul in us? He can't unless we are so closely identified with Him that we have His view concerning the people for whom we pray. May we learn to intercede so wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ will be completely and overwhelmingly satisfied with us as intercessors.
