“Will is the whole man active. I cannot give up my will, I must exercise it. I must will to obey, and I must will to receive God’s Spirit. When God gives a vision of truth it is never a question of what He will do, but of what we will do.”
Oswald Chambers
“If anyone’s will is to do God’s will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority”
John 7:17
“A river reaches places which its source never knows. And Jesus said that, if we have received His fullness, “rivers of living water” will flow out of us, reaching in blessing even “to the end of the earth” (Acts 1:8) regardless of how small the visible effects of our lives may appear to be. We have nothing to do with the outflow— “This is the work of God, that you believe…” (John 6:29). God rarely allows a person to see how great a blessing he is to others.”
– Oswald Chambers
The dandelion sends forth its seeds profusely, freely committing them to the ways of the wind. So also those who sow in tears, sowing often in thankless conditions yet God’s Word declares they… “shall doubtless come” loaded with the harvest of their sowing.
“He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.”
Psalm 126:6
Brian Troxel
We are here so to realize Jesus Christ that the Body of Christ may be built up
“We are not here to develop a spiritual life of our own, or to enjoy spiritual retirement, we are here so to realize Jesus Christ that the Body of Christ may be built up”
– Oswald Chambers
“The church ceases to be a spiritual society when it is on the lookout for the development of it’s own organization”
– Oswald Chambers
“God never gives strength for tomorrow, or for the next hour, but only for the strain of the minute.”
