Praise is the Rehearsal of Our eternal Song By Grace We learn to Sing, and in Glory We Continue to Sing.
Immanuel, God with us in our nature, in our sorrow, in our lifework, in our punishment, in our grave, and now with us, or rather we with Him, in resurrection, ascension, triumph, and Second Advent splendor.
Be not proud of race, face, place, or grace.
Hang that question up in your houses, “What would Jesus do?” and then think of another, “How would Jesus do it?” for what he would do, and how he would do it, may always stand as the best guide to us.
It is the habit of faith, when she is praying, to use pleas. Mere prayer sayers, who do not pray at all, forget to argue with God; but those who prevail bring forth their reasons and their strong arguments.
If you want that splendid power in prayer, you must remain in loving, living, lasting, conscious, practical, abiding union with the Lord Jesus Christ.
If you cannot trust God for the temporal, how dare you trust him for the eternal?
A true prayer is an inventory of needs, a catalog of necessities, an exposure of secret wounds, a revelation of hidden poverty.
I always give all the glory to God, but I do not forget that He gave me the privilege of ministering from the first to a praying people. We had prayer meetings that moved our very souls, each one appeared determined to storm the Celestial City by the might of intercession.
I know of no better thermometer to your spiritual temperature than this, the measure of the intensity of your prayer.
Oh, without prayer what are the church’s agencies, but the stretching out of a dead man’s arm, or the lifting up of the lid of a blind man’s eye? Only when the Holy Spirit comes is there any life and force and power.
Only the prayer which comes from our heart can get to God’s heart.
Prayer and praise are the oars by which a man may row his boat into the deep waters of the knowledge of Christ.
Prayer is an art which only the Spirit can teach us. He is the giver of all prayer.
Prayer meetings are the throbbing machinery of the church.
We shall never see much change for the better in our churches in general till the prayer meeting occupies a higher place in the esteem of Christians.
We should pray when we are in a praying mood, for it would be sinful to neglect so fair an opportunity. We should pray when we are not in a proper mood, for it would be dangerous to remain in so unhealthy a condition.
Mighty prayer has often been produced by mighty trial.
There is dust enough on some of your Bibles to write ‘damnation’ with your fingers.
We cannot play at preaching. We preach for eternity.
