God wants to do the impossible – AW Tozer

God is looking for those with whom He can do the impossible. What a pity that we plan only the things that we can do by ourselves.

Always respond to every impulse to pray – Martyn Lloyd-Jones

Always respond to every impulse to pray. I would make an absolute law of this – always obey such an impulse. Where does it come from? It is the work of the Holy Spirit; it is a part of the meaning of “Work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure” (Phil 2:12-13). This often leads to some of the most remarkable experiences in the life of the minister. So never resist it, never postpone it, never push it aside because you are busy. Give yourself to it, yield to it; and you will find not only that you have not been wasting time with respect to the matter with which you are dealing but that actually it has helped you greatly in that respect … Such a call to prayer must never be regarded as a distraction; always respond to it immediately, and thank God if it happens to you frequently.

Affliction or Prosperity – Dwight L. Moody

We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God.

Prayer is my chief work – Thomas Hooker

Prayer is my chief work, and it is by means of it that I carry on the rest.

– Thomas Hooker –

Fear of losing something – Leslie Ludy

You can’t fear losing something if you’re completely surrendered.

If you do not pray … – Robert Murray McCheyne

Give yourselves to prayer and the ministry of the Word. If you do not pray, God will probably lay you aside from your ministry, as He did me, to teach you to pray.

The extraordinary prayers of God’s people – Jonathan Edwards

When God has something very great to accomplish for His church, it is His will that there should precede it, the extraordinary prayers of His people … when God is about to accomplish great things for His Church, He will begin by remarkably pouring out the spirit of grace and supplication.
