Prayer is the key to success. Not to pray is to fail. To pray aright is never to fail.

There is no kind of experience in which a Christian has a right to refuse to praise God, for 'all things work together for good to them that love God.'

He who obeys the command 'Rejoice in the Lord' has a Hallelujah in his soul every minute of the day and night.

Men have presented their plans and philosophies for the remedying of earth's ills, but Jesus stands alone in presenting not a system, but His own personality as capable of supplying the needs of the soul.

When we depend upon organizations, we get what organizations can do. But when we depend upon prayer, we get what God can do.

When we think of God, we are apt to think of Him in human form. In the Epiphanies of the Old Testament God revealed Himself to Joshua and others in human form. He puts Himself within the compass of our highest conception, in order that He may make Himself real to us in His love and sympathy and power.

When we rely upon organization, we get what organization can do when we rely upon education, we get what education can do when we rely upon eloquence, we get what eloquence can do. And so on. But when we rely upon prayer, we get what God can do.

Give us a genuine Christianity that may provoke persecution, but will not provoke contempt.

When we have accepted Jesus Christ, we have become akin to the Father having become real children of God, we then have the spirit of sonship by which we can come into His presence and make known our wants in a familiar way.

In Jesus Christ on the Cross, there is refuge there is safety there is shelter and all the power of sin upon our track cannot reach us when we have taken shelter under the Cross that atones for our sins.

Through the death of Christ on the cross making atonement for sin, we get a perfect standing before God. That is justification, and it puts us, in God's sight, back in Eden before sin entered. God looks upon us and treats us as if we had never sinned.

What we need now for quickening is not so much money and wisdom as the spirit of supplication. Pray for yourself until the new life is infused. When that new life comes, it will lead you to pray for others.
