Quote

God's cause is committed to men God commits Himself to men. Praying men are the vice-regents of God they do His work and carry out His plans.

More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds

Prayer is the language of a man burdened with a sense of need.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
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
Image
I feel it is far better to begin with God, to see His face first, to get my soul near Him before it is near another. In general it is best to have at least one hour alone with God before engaging in anything else.

God shapes the world by prayer.

Image
The world needs more true praying to save it from the reign and ruin of Satan.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Safety is in Heaven. Put your values there only put your heart there. No tears are there to flood your heart, no sorrows there to break it, no losses there to grieve and embitter.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
If we would have God in the closet, God must have us out of the closet. There is no way of praying to God, but by living to God.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
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.

Image
The soul which has come into intimate contact with God in the silence of the prayer chamber is never out of conscious touch with the Father the heart is always going out to Him in loving communion, and the moment the mind is released from the task upon which it is engaged, it returns as naturally to God as the bird does to its nest.

Image
Praying men must be strong in hope, and faith, and prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
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
Image
Those who know God the best are the richest and most powerful in prayer. Little acquaintance with God, and strangeness and coldness to Him, make prayer a rare and feeble thing.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayer, like faith, obtains promises, enlarges their operation, and adds to the measure of their results.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
if the devil can get the church to withdraw from prayer by believing reasonable excuses, the church is under his dominion.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
We must lose all for Christ in order to gain all for Christ.

Image
Bible revelations are not against reason but above reason, for the uses of faith, mans highest faculty.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
When trust is perfect and there is no doubt, prayer is simply the outstretched hand ready to receive.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
The first and last stages of holy living are crowned with praying.
