Keep me. Lord, from fainting
In this fierce fight,
When the foe is rising,
Clothe me with Thy might.

A Prayerless Soul is a Christless Soul – Charles Spurgeon
A prayerless soul is a Christless soul. Prayer is the lisping of the believing infant, the shout of the fighting believer, the requiem of the dying saint falling asleep in Jesus. It is the breath, the watchword, the comfort, the strength, the honour of a Christian.
– Charles Spurgeon –
Meeting the Devil Head On – Billy Sunday
If you’re not meeting the Devil head on, then you’re going in the same direction.

The Cross of Christ – Oswald Chambers
All heaven is interested in the cross of Christ, all hell terribly afraid of it, while men are the only beings who more or less ignore its meaning.
– Oswald Chambers –
The Creeping Wilderness that Takes Over – AW Tozer
The neglected heart will soon be a heart overrun with worldly thoughts; the neglected life will soon become a moral chaos; the church that is not jealously protected by mighty intercession and sacrificial labors will before long become the abode of every evil bird and the hiding place for unsuspected corruption. The creeping wilderness will soon take over that church that trusts in its own strength and forgets to watch and pray.
– AW Tozer –
Prayer is a Spiritual Battle – Mary Booth
Depend upon it, if you are bent on prayer, the devil will not leave you alone. He will molest you, tantalize you, block you, and will surely find some hindrances, big or little or both. And we sometimes fail because we are ignorant of his devices I do not think he minds our praying about things if we leave it at that. What he minds, and opposes steadily, is the prayer that prays on until it is prayed through, assured of the answer.
– Mary Warburton Booth –
Don’t Flinch At Any Point – Martin Luther
If I profess with the loudest voice and clearest exposition every portion of the Word of God except precisely that little point which the world and the devil are at that moment attacking, I am not confessing Christ, however boldly I may be professing Him. Where the battle rages there the loyalty of the soldier is proved and to be steady on all the battle front besides, is mere flight and disgrace if he flinches at that point.
– Martin Luther –
The Music of Murmuring – Thomas Watson
Our murmuring is the devil’s music.
