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.

More quotes by 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
God shapes the world by prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. The lips that uttered them may be closed to death, the heart that felt them may have ceased to beat, but the prayers live before God, and God's heart is set on them and prayers outlive the lives of those who uttered them they outlive a generation, outlive an age, outlive a world.
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
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
The stream of praying cannot rise higher than the fountain of living.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Talking to men for God is a great thing, but talking to God for men is greater still.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Praying men must be strong in hope, and faith, and prayer.
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
The little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to it.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer breaks all bars, dissolves all chains, opens all prisons, and widens all straits by which God's saints have been held.
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
He only can truly pray who is all aglow for holiness, for God, and for heaven.
Edward McKendree Bounds
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
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
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
God requires to be represented by a fiery Church... two things are intolerable to Him-insincerity and lukewarmness.
Edward McKendree Bounds
That man is the most immortal who has done the most and the best praying. They are God heroes, God's saints, God's servants, God's vicegerents.
Edward McKendree Bounds
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
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.
