Faith & Trust
Prayer is the first thing, the second thing, the third thing necessary to a minister.
Devotion is the particular frame of mind found in one entirely devoted to God.
The true ministry is God-touched, God-enabled, and God-made. The Spirit of God is on the preacher in anointing power, the fruit of the Spirit is in his heart, the Spirit of God has vitalized the man and the word; his preaching gives life, gives life as the spring gives life; gives life as the resurrection gives life.
The secret of success in Christ’s Kingdom is the ability to pray.
Prayer to God the noblest exercise, the loftiest effort of man, the most real thing!
The space occupied by prayer in the Sermon on the Mount bespeaks its estimate by Christ and the importance it holds in His system.
Prayer takes in man in his whole being, mind, soul and body.
Prayer has its only worth and significance in the great fact that God hears and answers prayer.
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.
Prayer is the appointed condition of getting God’s aid.
Prayer, much prayer, is the price of preaching unction.
Prayer is the easiest and hardest of all things; the simplest and the sublimest.
Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, the Christian’s native air.
No amount of money, genius, or culture can move things for God.
It is prayer-force which makes saints.
Nothing is more conspicuous in the life of our Lord than prayer.
Prayer fills man’s emptiness with God’s fullness.
Prayer has to deal with God, and is only resultful as it has to do with God.
Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still.
Importunity is of the essence of successful prayer.
