More quotes by 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
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
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
Mans access in prayer to God opens everything and makes his impoverishment his wealth. All things are his through prayer.

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
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
Crucified preaching only can give life. Crucified preaching can come only from a crucified man.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The first and last stages of holy living are crowned with praying.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The world needs more true praying to save it from the reign and ruin of Satan.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is God's plan to supply man's great and continuous need with God's great and continuous abundance.
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.
Edward McKendree Bounds
That man cannot possibly be called a Christian, who does not pray.
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
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.
