The Man God Needs – EM Bounds

It is not great talents nor great learning nor great preachers that God needs, but men great in holiness, great in faith, great in love, great in fidelity, great for God – men always preaching by holy sermons in the pulpit, by holy lives out of it. These can mold a generation for God.

Unction is God’s Knighthood – Leonard Ravenhill

Unction is God’s knighthood for the soldier-preacher who has wrestled in prayer and gained the victory. Victory is not won in the pulpit by firing intellectual bullets or wise cracks, but in the prayer closet.

Drive Out The Devil – Martin Luther

Prayer Holds the Promise – Andrew Murray

Wherever there is complaint of a lack of workers or of competent helpers for God’s work, prayer holds the promise for their supply. There is no work for God where He is not ready and able to provide workers for it. It may take time and importunity, but Christ’s command to ask the Lord of the harvest is the pledge that the prayer will be heard: “I tell you, he will get up and give him as much as he needs” (Luke 11:8).

between yourself and God – JC Ryle

Whether you have family prayers in your house or not, your relations know. But whether you pray in private or not, is a matter between yourself and God.
