More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is the lungs through which holiness breathes. Prayer is not only the language of spiritual life, but also makes its very essence and forms its real character. O for a faith that will not shrink though pressed by every foe That will not tremble on the brink of any earthly woe. Lord, give us such a faith as this... whatever may come.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The character of our praying will determine the character of our preaching. Light praying makes light preaching.
Edward McKendree Bounds

Prayer thrives in the atmosphere of true devotion.
Edward McKendree Bounds
It is true that Bible prayers in word and print are short, but the praying men of the Bible were with God through many a sweet and holy wrestling hour. They won by few words but long waiting.
Edward McKendree Bounds
It is only when the whole heart is gripped with the passion of prayer that the life-giving fire descends, for none but the earnest man gets access to the ear of God.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The Scriptures bear ample and continuous evidence that the faith of the resurrection of the body lies in the faith that Jesus Christ died and rose again.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Love is kindled in a flame, and ardency is its life. Flame is the air which true Christian experience breathes. It feeds on fire it can withstand anything rather than a feeble flame but when the surrounding atmosphere is frigid or lukewarm, it dies, chilled and starved to its vitals. True prayer must be aflame.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is the highest intelligence, the profoundest wisdom, the most vital, the most joyous, the most efficacious, the most powerful of all vocations.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Every mighty move of the Spirit of God has had its source in the prayer chamber.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The resurrection of Jesus Christ was necessary to establish the truth of his mission and put the stamp of all-conquering power on his gospel.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The only limits to prayer are the promises of God and His ability to fulfill those promises.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Men would pray better if they lived better. They would get more from God if they lived more obedient and well-pleasing to God.
Edward McKendree Bounds
We can never expect to grow in the likeness of our Lord unless we follow His example and give more time to communion with the Father. A revival of real praying would produce a spiritual revolution.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer and a holy life are one. They mutually act and react. Neither can survive alone. The absence of the one is the absence of the other.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Trust is faith that has become absolute, approved, and accomplished. When all is said and done, there is a sort of risk in faith and its exercise. But trust is firm belief it is faith in full bloom. Trust is a conscious act, a fact of which we are aware.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The reformer is one who with clarion voice will call the ministry back to it's knees.
Edward McKendree Bounds
. . . every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work and is powerless to project God's cause in this world.
