More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
God's cause is committed to men God commits Himself to men. Praying men are the vice-regents of God they do His work and carry out His plans.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Praying men are God's agents on earth, the representative of government of Heaven, set to a specific task on the earth.
Edward McKendree Bounds
No erudition, no purity of diction, no width of mental outlook, no flowers of eloquence, no grace of person can atone for lack of fire. Prayer ascends by fire. Flame gives prayer access as well as wings, acceptance as well as energy. There is no incense without fire no prayer without flame.
Edward McKendree Bounds
If we would have God in the closet, God must have us out of the closet. There is no way of praying to God, but by living to God.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is the greatest of all forces, because it honors God and brings him into active aid.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is the language of a man burdened with a sense of need.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to it.
Edward McKendree Bounds
God requires to be represented by a fiery Church... two things are intolerable to Him-insincerity and lukewarmness.
Edward McKendree Bounds
God is waiting to be put to the test by His people in prayer. He delights in being put to the test on His promises. It is His highest pleasure to answer prayer, to prove the reliability of His promises.
Edward McKendree Bounds
I feel it is far better to begin with God, to see His face first, to get my soul near Him before it is near another. In general it is best to have at least one hour alone with God before engaging in anything else.
Edward McKendree Bounds
We cannot talk to God strongly when we have not lived for God strongly. The closet cannot be made holy to God when the life has not been holy to God.
Edward McKendree Bounds
We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. That is the teaching of Jesus Christ
Edward McKendree Bounds
Our praying, however, needs to be pressed and pursued with an energy that never tires, a persistency which will not be denied, and a courage which never fails.
Edward McKendree Bounds
In doing God's work, there is no substitute for praying. The men of prayer cannot be displaced with other kinds of men.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The lazy man does not, will not, cannot pray, for prayer demands energy.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Trouble and prayer are closely related. Trouble often drives men to God in prayer, while prayer is but the voice of men in trouble.
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
. . . 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.
Edward McKendree Bounds
God's Word does not say, Call unto me, and you will thereby be trained into the happy art of knowing how to be denied. Ask, and you will learn sweet patience by getting nothing. Far from it. But it is definite, clear and positive: Ask, and it shall be given unto you.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is of transcendent importance. Prayer is the mightiest agent to advance God's work. Praying hearts and hands only can do God's work. Prayer succeeds when all else fails.
Edward McKendree Bounds
