Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.
Prayer is a specific divine appointment, an ordinance of Heaven, whereby God purposes to carry out His gracious designs on earth and to execute and make efficient the plan of salvation.
Safety is in Heaven. Put your values there only; put your heart there. No tears are there to flood your heart, no sorrows there to break it, no losses there to grieve and embitter.
Preaching is God’s great institution for the planting and maturing of spiritual life. When properly executed, its benefits are untold. When wrongly executed, no evil can exceed its damaging results.
In prayerful sympathy and love. Hold to the old truth – double distilled.
Apostolic preaching cannot be carried on unless there be apostolic prayer. Men of God, before anything else, are indispensable to the furtherance of the kingdom of God on earth.
In doing God’s work, there is no substitute for praying. The men of prayer cannot be displaced with other kinds of men.
A denial of the reality of demonical possessions on the part of anyone who believes the Gospel narrative to be true and inspired may justly be regarded as simply and plainly inconceivable.
Prayer concerns God, whose purposes and plans are conditioned on prayer. His will and His glory are bound up in praying.
Straight praying is never born of crooked conduct.
No learning can make up for the failure to pray. No earnestness, no diligence, no study, no gifts will supply its lack.
By prayer, the ability is secured to feel the law of love, to speak according to the law of love, and to do everything in harmony with the law of love.
Faith, and hope, and patience and all the strong, beautiful, vital forces of piety are withered and dead in a prayerless life. The life of the individual believer, his personal salvation, and personal Christian graces have their being, bloom, and fruitage in prayer.
Private place and plenty of time are the life of prayer.
The character of our praying will determine the character of our preaching. Light praying makes light preaching.
Non-praying is lawlessness, discord, anarchy.
Bible revelations are not against reason but above reason, for the uses of faith, mans highest faculty.
Mans access in prayer to God opens everything and makes his impoverishment his wealth. All things are his through prayer.
The Scriptures bear ample and continuous evidence that the faith of the resurrection of the body lies in the faith that Jesus Christ died and rose again.
Praying men are God’s agents on earth, the representative of government of Heaven, set to a specific task on the earth.
God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them.
