They who pray not, know nothing of God, and know nothing of the state of their own souls.

Prayer

The one concern of the devil is to keep Christians from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, and prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.

We read in the biographies of our forefathers, who were most successful in winning souls, that they prayed for hours in private. The question therefore arises, can we get the same results without following their example?

The main lesson about prayer is just this: Do it! Do it! Do it! You want to be taught to pray. My answer is pray and never faint, and then you shall never fail.

I want to see something that God builds. I want to find some people so hungry for God that every night they want to pray; (and find) where there’s intercession! We’re not going to move America any other way … We’ve tried every scheme and any every fancy thing and (we) try and work something up, but what we need some body to come down. Some person! Not a new theology, a person! Just as the Holy Ghost invaded the virgin womb and created Christ there, I need the Holy Ghost to form Christ in me. If I don’t, I’m not a Christian! Christ in you the hope of glory. That’s what it’s all about.
