More quotes by 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 men who have most fully illustrated Christ in their character and have most powerfully affected the world for Him have been men who spend so much time with God as to make it a notable feature in their lives.
Edward McKendree Bounds
By prayer, the ability is secured to feel the law of love, to speak according to the law of love, and to do everything in harmony with the law of love.
Edward McKendree Bounds
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.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Preaching is not the performance of an hour. It is the outflow of a life. It takes twenty years to make a sermon because it takes twenty years to make the man. The true sermon is a thing of life. The sermon grows because the man grows.
Edward McKendree Bounds
We can do nothing without prayer. All things can be done by importunate prayer. It surmounts or removes all obstacles, overcomes every resisting force and gains its ends in the face of invincible hindrances.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The lazy man does not, will not, cannot pray, for prayer demands energy.
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 is the greatest of all forces, because it honors God and brings him into active aid.
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
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
Mans access in prayer to God opens everything and makes his impoverishment his wealth. All things are his through prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
A holy life does not live in the closet, but it cannot live without the closet.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Public prayers are of little worth unless they are founded on or followed up by private praying.
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
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.
Edward McKendree Bounds
We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours of rigorous study.
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
Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Crucified preaching only can give life. Crucified preaching can come only from a crucified man.
