Every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God’s work and is powerless to project God’s cause in this world.

Satan Has Little Need to Fear Most Preaching – A. Reavis
Despite the atrociousness of it, Satan really does have “little cause to fear most preaching.” Most preaching in the modern church is completely devoid of unction. Pastors are too busy playing golf or racquetball to bother spending time on their knees. No wonder some pastors I’ve heard can more readily quote Dr. Laura then bible passages pertaining to prayer. It’s disastrous. Satan need not fear under those conditions.

Activity or Accomplishment? – RA Torrey
We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little; many services but few conversions; much machinery but few results.

Darkest Century in History, Unless … – Gene Edwards
It is my studied judgment that some future generation will deem this to be the darkest century, in spiritual depth and spiritual experience, in church history – that is, unless something very radical happens along… soon.

Christians Are Cowards – Charles Finney
If Christians were not such cowards, and absolutely disobedient to this plain command of God… one thing would certainly come of it — either they would be murdered in the streets as martyrs, because men could not bear the intolerable presence of truth, or they would be speedily converted to God.

A Picture of Revival – James A. Stewart
Revival is the people of God constrained, gripped, overmastered, and overwhelmed by the love of Christ, so that they are feverishly restless to win souls for Christ.

You Need the Holy Spirit to Preach – Duncan Campbell
Preaching truth without the anointing of the Holy Ghost is helping the devil to damn souls. There’s nothing on earth today so deadening as preaching without heaven’s anointing. Refrain from preaching unless you know that the dew of heaven is on your soul.

The Holy Spirit Has Little Chance Today – CT Studd
How little chance the Holy Ghost has nowadays. The churches and missionary societies have so bound Him in red tape that they practically ask Him to sit in a corner while they do the work themselves.
