More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds

Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
It is hard to wait and press and pray, and hear no voice, but stay till God answers.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Every mighty move of the Spirit of God has had its source in the prayer chamber.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
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
Image
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
Image
The lazy man does not, will not, cannot pray, for prayer demands energy.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayer is the one prime, eternal condition by which the Father is pledged to put the Son in possession of the world. Christ prays through His people. Had there been importunate, universal, and continuous prayer by God's people, long ere this the earth had been possessed for Christ.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayer is of transcendent importance. Prayer is the mightiest agent to advance God's work. Praying hearts and hands only can do God's work. Prayer succeeds when all else fails.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
God shapes the world by prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Straight praying is never born of crooked conduct.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
We cannot talk to God strongly when we have not lived for God strongly. The closet cannot be made holy to God when the life has not been holy to God.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
The first and last stages of holy living are crowned with praying.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
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
Image
The word of God is the food by which prayer is nourished and made strong.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
Prayer is God's plan to supply man's great and continuous need with God's great and continuous abundance.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
The story of every great Christian achievement is the history of answered prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Image
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.

Prayer breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons, and widens all straits by which God's saints have been held.
