A season of silence is the best preparation for speech with God.

Why the Church Stays Indoors – Samuel Chadwick
Why does the Church stay indoors? They have a theology that has dwindled into a philosophy, in which there is no thrill of faith, no terror of doom, and no concern for souls. Unbelief has put out the fires of passion, and worldliness garlands the altar of sacrifice with the tawdry glitter of unreality.

The Gift of Pentecost – Samuel Chadwick
I owe everything to the gift of Pentecost. For fifty days the facts of the Gospel were complete, but no conversions were recorded. Pentecost registered three thousand souls. It is by fire that a holy passion is kindled in the soul whereby we live the life of God. The soul’s safety is in its heat. Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, make for a Church without power Destitute of the Fire of God, nothing else counts; possessing Fire, nothing else matters.

Prevailing Prayer – Samuel Chadwick
There is no power like that of prevailing prayer, of Abraham pleading for Sodom, Jacob wrestling in the stillness of the night, Moses standing in the breach, Hannah intoxicated with sorrow, David heartbroken with remorse and grief, Jesus in sweat of blood. Add to this list from the records of the church your personal observation and experience, and always there is the cost of passion unto blood. Such prayer prevails. It turns ordinary mortals into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God.

It is wonderful what God can do with a broken heart, if He gets all the pieces.

One Thing That Surprised God – Samuel Chadwick
The one thing that is said to have surprised God is that the voice of intercession had ceased. “And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor” (Isaiah 59:16).
