More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
Apostolic preaching cannot be carried on unless there be apostolic prayer. Men of God, before anything else, are indispensable to the furtherance of the kingdom of God on earth.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Only God can move mountains, but faith and prayer can move God
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
He only can truly pray who is all aglow for holiness, for God, and for heaven.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer honors God, acknowledges His being, exalts His power, adores His providence, secures His aid.
Edward McKendree Bounds
We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours of rigorous study.
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
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
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
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
We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. That is the teaching of Jesus Christ
Edward McKendree Bounds
That man cannot possibly be called a Christian, who does not pray.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Bible revelations are not against reason but above reason, for the uses of faith, mans highest faculty.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Four things let us ever keep in mind: God hears prayer, God heeds prayer, God answers prayer, and God delivers by prayer.
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
Safety is in Heaven. Put your values there only put your heart there. No tears are there to flood your heart, no sorrows there to break it, no losses there to grieve and embitter.
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
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
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
That man is the most immortal who has done the most and the best praying. They are God heroes, God's saints, God's servants, God's vicegerents.
