More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
He who is too busy to pray will be too busy to live a holy life. Satan had rather we let the grass grow on the path to our prayer chamber than anything else.
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
Prayer thrives in the atmosphere of true devotion.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The stream of praying cannot rise higher than the fountain of living.
Edward McKendree Bounds
We can never know God as it is our privilege to know Him by brief repetitions that are requests for personal favors, and nothing more.
Edward McKendree Bounds
God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. The lips that uttered them may be closed to death, the heart that felt them may have ceased to beat, but the prayers live before God, and God's heart is set on them and prayers outlive the lives of those who uttered them they outlive a generation, outlive an age, outlive a world.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Holy living is essential preparation for prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Sainthood's piety is made, refined, perfected, by prayer. The gospel moves with slow and timid pace when the saints are not at their prayers early and late and long.
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
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 do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. That is the teaching of Jesus Christ
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is not learned in a classroom but in the closet.
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
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
The story of every great Christian achievement is the history of answered prayer.
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
Prayer in Jesus' name puts the crowning crown on God, because it glorifies Him through the Son and it pledges the Son to give to men 'whatsoever and anything' they shall ask.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Bible revelations are not against reason but above reason, for the uses of faith, mans highest faculty.
Edward McKendree Bounds
A holy life does not live in the closet, but it cannot live without the closet.
