Prayer is the Power of the Church – N. Murray
Prayer is the power of the Church; and could I speak as loud as the trumpet which is to wake the dead, I would thus call upon the Church, in all branches and in all lands: “Awake! awake! put on thy strength, 0 Zion! put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem! Arise, shine, for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.” Patriarchs, prophets, apostles. martyrs, reformers, were mighty in prayer.
– Dr. N. Murray –
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.
