It is impossible to live the life of a disciple without definite times of secret prayer. You will find that the place to enter in is in your business, as you walk along the streets, in the ordinary ways of life, when no one dreams you are praying, and the reward comes openly, a revival here, a blessing there.
– Oswald Chambers –
Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees.
– Corrie ten Boom –
Satan does not care how many people read about prayer if only he can keep them from praying.
– Paul E. Billheimer –
If I fail to spend two hours in prayer each morning, the devil gets the victory through the day. [If] I have so much business, I cannot get on without spending three hours daily in prayer.
– Martin Luther –
God does nothing except in response to believing prayer.
– John Wesley –
The early church was acclimated to the upper room; today’s cultural church is acclimated to the supper room. Our church dinners are packed, our prayer rooms are empty, but we want apostolic power. Apostolic power follows apostolic succession.
– Derek Melton –
Have you had your Gethsemane?
– Leonard Ravenhill –
What nobler decoration of honor can any godly man seek after than his scars of service, his losses for the crown, his reproaches for Christ’s sake, his being worn out in his Master’s service.
– Mrs. Charles E. Cowman –
from “Streams in the Desert”
Do you see, do you see all the people sinking down? Don’t you care, don’t you care? Are you gonna let them drown? How can you be so numb not to care if they come. You close your eyes and pretend the job’s done. ‘Oh bless me Lord, bless me Lord’ you know it’s all I ever hear. No one aches, no one hurts, no one even sheds one tear.
