No amount of money, genius, or culture can move things for God.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

Men are God’s method.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

Without this unction on the preacher the gospel has no more power to propagate itself than any other system of truth.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

The pulpit of this day is weak in praying.

Quote · Faith & Trust

Prayer, to the preacher, is not simply the duty of his profession, a privilege, but it is a necessity. Air is not more necessary to the lungs than prayer is to the preacher. It is absolutely necessary for the preacher to pray.

Quote · Strength & Perseverance

Prayer, much prayer, is the price of preaching unction; prayer, much prayer, is the one, sole condition of keeping this unction. Without unceasing prayer the unction never comes to the preacher. Without perseverance in prayer, the unction, like the manna overkept, breeds worms.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

Unctionless preaching makes everything hard, dry, acrid, dead.

Quote · Faith & Trust

Prayer is the first thing, the second thing, the third thing necessary to a minister.

Quote · Faith & Trust

Prayer freshens the heart of the preacher, keeps it in tune with God and in sympathy with the people, lifts his ministry out of the chilly air of a profession, fructifies routine and moves every wheel with the facility and power of a divine unction. The praying which makes a prayerful ministry is not a little praying put in as we put flavor to give it a pleasant smack, but the praying must be in the body, and form the blood and bones.

Quote · Gratitude & Joy

Prayer is God’s enabling act for man, living and life-giving, joy and joy-giving.

Quote · Faith & Trust

Prayer is a solemn service due to God, an adoration, a worship, an approach to God for some request.

Quote · Strength & Perseverance

Prayer is put first, and their relation to prayer is put most strongly—give themselves to it, making a business of it, surrendering themselves to praying, putting fervor, urgency, perseverance, and time in it. How holy, apostolic men devoted themselves to this divine work of prayer!

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

God does not bestow his gifts on the casual or hasty comers and goers.

Quote · Hope & Comfort

Trouble is under the control of Almighty God, and is one of His most efficient agents.

Quote · Faith & Trust

Prayer reaches back to the first ages of man on earth.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

A prepared heart is much better than a prepared sermon.

Quote · Gratitude & Joy

Thanksgiving follows answered prayer just as day succeeds night.

Quote · Faith & Trust

Prayer, much prayer, is the price of preaching unction.

Quote · Guidance & Wisdom

Professional praying chills and kills both preaching and praying.

Quote · Strength & Perseverance

Prayer breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons.
