Prayer

Revival as in the Times of Former Generations – Charles Spurgeon

Oh! men and brethren, what would this heart feel if I could but believe that there were some among you who would go home and pray for a revival. Men whose faith is large enough, and their love fiery enough to lead them from this moment to exercise unceasing intercessions that God would appear among us and do wondrous things here, as in the times of former generations.

Prevailing Prayer – Charles Spurgeon

Beloved, there are heights in experimental knowledge of the things of God that the eagles discerning eye and philosophical thought have never seen. God alone can take us there, but the chariot in which He takes us up and the fiery steeds that pull the chariot, are prevailing prayers.

– Charles Spurgeon –

Fire is the Motivating Power in Prayer – EM Bounds

Fire is the motivating power in prayer. This holy fervent flame in the soul awakens the interest of heaven, attracts God’s attention, and places at the disposal of those who exercise it, the inexhaustible riches of divine grace.

Prayer is the Highest Activity – D. Martin Lloyd-Jones

Prayer is the highest activity of the human soul, and therefore it is at the same time the ultimate test of a man’s true spiritual condition (there is nothing so much as prayer life that tells the truth about us as Christian people.) Everything we do in the Christian life is easier than prayer.

– D. Martin Lloyd-Jones –

Understanding the Bible – Charles Spurgeon

Whenever you cannot understand a text, open your Bible, bend your knee, and pray over that text; and if it does not split into atoms and open itself, try again.
