If no immediate choice has to be made, one should wait. The Lord orders our stops as well as our steps. When the time comes that a decision must be made, one can proceed in the direction that seems best. As you conscientiously seek His guidance, He will not let you make a wrong choice.
– George Müller –
It was not John Hyde: it was the Holy Spirit of God whom one consecrated man, filled with that Spirit, brought down upon all around him. May we not all become “Praying Hydes”?
– Anonymous –
The one concern of the devil is to keep the saints 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.
– Samuel Chadwick –
A man may study because his brain is hungry for knowledge, even Bible knowledge. But he prays because his soul is hungry for God.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
When we go to God by prayer, the devil knows we go to fetch strength against him, and therefore opposeth us all he can.
– Richard Sibbes –
How you give God time – how you make available your leisure – indicates to God your seriousness about Him. And the issue is not chronology, or the clock ticking away – that you gave 15 minutes or a half hour – the issue is a quality of spirit. How do you attend to the Lord in the use of that time?
– Art Katz –
Prayer alone will overcome the gigantic difficulties which confront the workers in every field.
– John R. Mott –
The evangelization of the world in this generation depends first of all upon a revival of prayer. Deeper than the need for men; deeper, far, than the need for money; aye, deep down at the bottom of our spiritless life is the need for the forgotten secret of prevailing, world-wide prayer.
– Robert E. Speer –
Is the Gospel really dynamite, or does it need all sorts of human institutions and money? Much of the work we have done in the name of Jesus Christ has been, not to perform miracles of the Holy Ghost, but miracles of gold.
