Podcast appearances and mentions of Oswald Chambers

Presented by Julie Busteed I used to think there were seasons of waiting on God, but now I think there is always something I am waiting on from him. Maybe it's waiting for some direction in one area of my work or waiting for something to come to an end or waiting for the next big thing. But aren't we always waiting to hear from him? And since we are always in this “waiting room” of God's timing for some kind or another, then what is the purpose? What is the benefit? Yet the Lord waits to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion. For the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him (Isaiah 30:18). We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you (Psalm 33:20-22). There's a blessing in the waiting room. There is hope. It's not always my favorite place to be, but I'm not as anxious there as I used to be. I've grown in my trust of God, that he has what's best in store for me, even if it seems difficult. I know I can trust him no matter what. And my goals and focus are ever more on my hope in him. Yes, you and I are living in the now and it's a fallen world. But if you are a Christ-follower, there is hope of eternal life with God. The more I get to know him, study his Word, read his Word, pray, and meet and talk with other Christ-followers, the more I can rest in his timing. Not that it's never frustrating or scary, but I know he will never leave me or forsake me. Do you have confidence in your relationship with him? If not, please, take some time right now to pray and ask for his help to get into his Word. He alone is our hope and salvation. He is trustworthy and loving. He waits to be gracious to you. If you are struggling with waiting on God and having patience to endure in a situation, then think about this. God's silence doesn't mean that he doesn't care. He hears you and knows you. But maybe he has something better in mind for you. Or maybe the answer is no or not right now. But you are building your faith muscle as you wait and trust in him. I think Oswald Chambers says it beautifully: Some prayers are followed by silence (from God) because they are wrong, others because they are bigger than one can understand. It will be a wonderful moment for some of us when we stand before God and find that the prayers we clamored for in early days and imagined were never answered, have been answered in the most amazing way, and that God's silence has been the sign of the answer.[1] --- [1]  Chambers, Oswald, Oswald Chambers Daily Thoughts for Disciples, Christian Literature Crusade, 1976, p. 75.

Every day lives are affected by all kinds of voices. Voices of the living and voices of the past that are still speaking their stories, works and faith. Our own voices impact life all around us for the good and the bad. "Death and life are in the power of the tongue."- Proverbs 18:21.Last Wednesday Charlie Kirk's died in a horrific flash moment while he was speaking. Voices from the media were all saying, "A great voice was taken away from us today." The nation was stunned, and all voices were stopped in silent shock. As I pondered the unponderable, a thought crossed my mind. God's voice is not stopped and can never be taken away. Which means our voices will ever go on filling this dark world with words of eternal life while we live. The greatest voice in the world is the voice of Jesus Christ and His word. And by the Holy Spirit we will go on sowing His words until the end. Until we are taken off earth's stage by God Himself.Meditate on the what this means and use your voice in prayer always. Then go and speak in the power of His love being witnesses unto Christ. You will never know the feeling of what it means to be carried about on eagles wings until you soar in His words towards others in your lifetime. I have tasted it and there is nothing like it. I will never live and serve Christ any other way.“Some of us are like the Dead Sea, always taking in but never giving out, because we are not rightly related to the Lord Jesus.” ― Oswald Chambers

Most often, when people hear “calling” they think of vocational calling, God calling someone to become a pastor or a missionary. However, if you broaden your view of what biblical calling is, you will see that God has called everybody to salvation, sanctification, and service. In this episode Pastors Andy and Eric look at different callings we all have and what next steps you can take today towards what God is calling you to.“God does not call the qualified, He qualifies the called.” - Oswald Chambers

At the same time I had been feeling stagnated in my messages. This began happening a while before the event. For two whole weeks after everything came about I found myself emptied and dry, and it felt like I was a desert within a desert. Everything changed. I had so many questions for the Lord and only a blank canvas stood before me. I could not sleep, and was not just praying, I was wrestling in prayer. "Hungry and thirsty my soul fainted within me...I found no city to dwell in."I am a woman of faith so it was not that I was lacking faith. My faith was intact. I was so restless. Until one morning an update from a beautiful friend of mine who has cancer and is in dire need came to me. She told me how sick she is and how there has been no mercy shown towards her from anyone, even her own family. In a moment my heart burned with love for her and God's rescuing mercy was enflamed in me. I felt a rushing in my spirit and my heart burst out in hot, fiery love for her. God's love in burning fury grabbed a hold of me and everything made sense in my service to His throne for the rest of my life.This IS the wonderful works of the Lord that God wants, and He is ready and willing right now to let His power flow through us to others. We are all called to be vessels of His mercy and to live for Christ in fiery burnings of His love. He will take care of the rest of all our needs. There are no blank canvases with God. "The mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children." - Psalm 103;17 “If through a broken heart God can bring His purposes to pass in the world, then thank Him for breaking your heart.”― Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers wrote: “If we are going to live as disciples of Jesus, we have to remember that all efforts of worth and excellence are difficult.  The Christian life is gloriously difficult, but its difficulty does not make us faint and cave in— it stirs us up to overcome.  Do we appreciate the miraculous salvation of Jesus Christ enough to be our utmost for His highest— our best for His glory?” Mike and Rebekah discuss the need to persevere during tough times and circumstances.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Monday morning, the 14th of July, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the 1 Thessalonians 5:17. The Lord says to you and I, “pray without ceasing.” In other words, pray in every situation you find yourself in, and the confirmation of that one is found in the Book of James 5:16:”The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” Effective, fervent - that's praying with sincerity, urgency, commitment and faith, avails much. Oswald Chambers was a Scottish preacher who wrote a book, (well his wife actually did it after he died. He died at 43 years old and his wife, Biddy Chambers took down all the messages that he ever preached and then she made books out of them). This particular book must be one of the most famous devotionals of all time, and in that book, he says, “Prayer is not a preparation for work, it is work.” Isn't that profound? So we don't pray as a preparation. No, we pray because it's part of what Christians do. He says prayer is not a preparation for the battle, it is the battle! He says prayer is two-fold - definite asking and definite waiting to receive.I want to say to you today, we need to pray continually and we need to believe in what we are praying. It does take some work. It takes time everyday for you to sit aside. Get on your knees, whatever position you find comfortable, and talk to God. “Oh but I can't.” You can! Some of us are just too lazy to do it.I want to tell you something. When I listen to a preacher, I can hear what his prayer life is like. I can pick it up in two minutes, and then I can hear others, like James Hudson Taylor. They said when he prayed, everybody came to a standstill because he was talking directly to his God who he knew so very well. Today, start praying effectively. Start praying without ceasing and remember, it's work and there is a reward for that work, which comes directly from the throne of Heaven.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful prayer day, Goodbye
