More quotes by 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
That man cannot possibly be called a Christian, who does not pray.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Christianity is not rationalism, but faith in Gods revelation. A conspicuous, all-important item in that revelation is the resurrection of the body.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer succeeds when all else fails
Edward McKendree Bounds
The stream of praying cannot rise higher than the fountain of living.
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
When trust is perfect and there is no doubt, prayer is simply the outstretched hand ready to receive.
Edward McKendree Bounds
A holy life does not live in the closet, but it cannot live without the closet.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The world needs more true praying to save it from the reign and ruin of Satan.
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
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
Natural ability and educational advantages do not figure as factors in this matter of prayer but a capacity for faith, the power of a thorough consecration, the ability of self-littleness, an absolute losing of one's self in God's glory and an ever present and insatiable yearning and seeking after all the fullness of God.
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
Prayer is the one prime, eternal condition by which the Father is pledged to put the Son in possession of the world. Christ prays through His people. Had there been importunate, universal, and continuous prayer by God's people, long ere this the earth had been possessed for Christ.
Edward McKendree Bounds
God shapes the world by prayer. The more prayer there is in the world the better the world will be, the mightier the forces of against evil
Edward McKendree Bounds
Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still.
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
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
Non-praying is lawlessness, discord, anarchy.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Bible revelations are not against reason but above reason, for the uses of faith, mans highest faculty.
