More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
A man can pray better because of the prayers of the past a man can live holier because of the prayers of the past the man of many and acceptable prayers has done the truest and greatest service to the incoming generation.
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
We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. That is the teaching of Jesus Christ
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
The first and last stages of holy living are crowned with praying.
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
It is necessary to iterate and reiterate that prayer, as a mere habit, as a performance gone through by routine or in a professional way, is a dead and rotten thing.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer, like faith, obtains promises, enlarges their operation, and adds to the measure of their results.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Every mighty move of the Spirit of God has had its source in the prayer chamber.
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
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
. . . 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
It is hard to wait and press and pray, and hear no voice, but stay till God answers.
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 must lose all for Christ in order to gain all for Christ.
Edward McKendree Bounds
A life growing in its purity and devotion will be a more prayerful life.
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
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
Praying men must be strong in hope, and faith, and prayer.
