Christ’s soldiers must be imbued with the spirit of war. Love to the King and concern of His interests must be the master passion of the soul… If the hearts of the Christians of this generation were inspired with this spirit and set on winning the world for God, we should soon see the nations shaken to their center, and millions of souls translated into the Kingdom.
– Catherine Booth –
I preached as never sure to preach again, and as a dying man to dying men.
– Richard Baxter –
(1615-1691)
Give me one hundred preachers who fear nothing but sin, and desire nothing but God, and I care not a straw whether they be clergymen or laymen; such alone will shake the gates of hell and set up the kingdom of heaven on Earth.
– John Wesley –
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?
– Oswald J. Smith –
When God is about to give His people the expected good, He pours out a Spirit of prayer, and it is a good sign that He is coming towards them in mercy.
– Matthew Henry –
The story of the very first outbreak of the Revival traces it to the trembling utterance of a poor Welsh girl, who, at a meeting in a Cardigan village, was the first to rise and testify. “If no one else will, then I must say that I love the Lord Jesus Christ with all my heart.
– Evan Roberts –
from The Story of the Welsh Revival by Eyewitnesses
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.
– Leonard Ravenhill –
You may speak but a word to a child, and in that child there may be slumbering a noble heart which shall stir the Christian Church in years to come.
– Charles Spurgeon –
We can reach our world, if we will. The greatest lack today is not people or funds. The greatest need is prayer.
– Wesley Duewel –
