More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
We can never know God as it is our privilege to know Him by brief repetitions that are requests for personal favors, and nothing more.
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
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
Every mighty move of the Spirit of God has had its source in the prayer chamber.
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
God shapes the world by prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Prayer is the greatest of all forces, because it honors God and brings him into active aid.
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
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
Prayer concerns God, whose purposes and plans are conditioned on prayer. His will and His glory are bound up in praying.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Non-praying is lawlessness, discord, anarchy.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Men would pray better if they lived better. They would get more from God if they lived more obedient and well-pleasing to God.
Edward McKendree Bounds
In doing God's work, there is no substitute for praying. The men of prayer cannot be displaced with other kinds of men.
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
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
Only God can move mountains, but faith and prayer can move God
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
Christianity is not rationalism, but faith in Gods revelation. A conspicuous, all-important item in that revelation is the resurrection of the body.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The first and last stages of holy living are crowned with praying.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The only limits to prayer are the promises of God and His ability to fulfill those promises.
