More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
The character of our praying will determine the character of our preaching. Light praying makes light preaching.
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 breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons, and widens all straits by which God's saints have been held.
Edward McKendree Bounds
if the devil can get the church to withdraw from prayer by believing reasonable excuses, the church is under his dominion.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The sanctity of prayer is needed to impregnate business. We need the spirit of Sunday carried over to Monday and continued until Saturday. But this cannot be done by prayerless men, but by men of prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The reformer is one who with clarion voice will call the ministry back to it's knees.
Edward McKendree Bounds
We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours of rigorous study.
Edward McKendree Bounds
God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them.
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.
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
Straight praying is never born of crooked conduct.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is a trade to be learned. We must be apprentices and serve our time at it. Painstaking care, much thought, practice and labour are required to be a skillful tradesman in praying. Practice in this, as well as in all other trades, makes perfect.
Edward McKendree Bounds
He who would pray, must obey.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is the language of a man burdened with a sense of need.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Praying gives sense, brings wisdom, broadens and strengthens the mind. The closet is a perfect school-teacher and schoolhouse for the preacher. Thought is not only brightened and clarified in prayer, but thought is born in prayer. We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours in the study.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The stream of praying cannot rise higher than the fountain of living.
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
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
Crucified preaching only can give life. Crucified preaching can come only from a crucified man.
Edward McKendree Bounds
No man can do a great and enduring work for God who is not a man of prayer, and no man can be a man of prayer who does not give much time to praying.
