Spiritual Warfare

Pray with all your might – William Booth

Pray with all your might – William Booth

You must pray will all your might. That does not mean saying your prayers, or sitting gazing about in church or chapel with eyes wide open while someone else says them for you. It means fervent, effectual, untiring wrestling with God. [Be sure that with] this kind of prayer, the devil and the world and your own indolent, unbelieving nature will oppose.

Let the power of Christ rest on me – Thomas Chalmers

Let the power of Christ rest on me – Thomas Chalmers

My God, Thou knowest my infirmities; and Thou knowest my desire to overcome them. Send forth Thy Spirit to help me in this warfare. Give me wisdom, O God, and the meekness of wisdom. Let the power of Christ rest upon me.

Evil doesn’t surrender without a fight – Dr. JH Jewett

Evil doesn’t surrender without a fight – Dr. JH Jewett

Evil never surrenders its hold without a sore fight. We never pass into any spiritual inheritance through the delightful exercises of a picnic, but always through the grim contentions of the battlefield. It is so in the secret realm of the soul. Every faculty which wins its spiritual freedom does so at the price of blood.
