The main reason we should be praying about revival is that we are anxious to see God’s name vindicated and His glory manifested. We should be anxious to see something happening that will arrest the nations, all the peoples, and cause them to stop and think again.
– Martyn Lloyd-Jones –
Water cannot rise any higher than its source, nor can the mission overseas be any stronger than the supporting church at home. A sick church can never save a dying world…Throughout history, revival at home and missions abroad have always gone together.
– J. Herbert Kane –
When the Church sets itself to pray with the same seriousness and strength of purpose that it has devoted to other forms of Christian effort, it will see the Kingdom of God come with power.
– Report of The Edinburgh Missionary Conference –
Prayer is of transcendent importance. Prayer is the mightiest agent to advance God’s work. Praying hearts and hands only can do God’s work. Prayer succeeds when all else fails. . . . To say prayers in a decent, delicate way is not heavy work. But to pray really, to pray till hell feels the ponderous stroke, to pray till the iron gates of difficulty are opened, till the mountains of obstacles are removed, till the mists are exhaled and the clouds are lifted, and the sunshine of a cloudless day brightens–this is hard work, but it is God’s work, and man’s best labor.
– E. M. Bounds –
Until we reach for the IMPOSSIBLE through fervent, faith-filled prayer, we will NEVER fulfill our created purpose!
– David Smithers –
God never ceases to speak to us, but the noise of the world without and the tumult of our passions
within bewilder us and prevent us from listening to him.
– Fenelon –
Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees.
– Corrie ten Boom –
Prayer does not enable us to do a greater work for God. Prayer is a greater work for God.
– Thomas Chalmers –
Prayer is not learned in a classroom but in the closet.
