More quotes by Edward McKendree Bounds
The reformer is one who with clarion voice will call the ministry back to it's knees.
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
God shapes the world by prayer. Prayers are deathless. They outlive the lives of those who uttered them.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The little estimate we put on prayer is evidence from the little time we give to it.
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
Non-praying is lawlessness, discord, anarchy.
Edward McKendree Bounds
The prayers of God's saints strengthen the unborn generation against the desolating waves of sin and evil.
Edward McKendree Bounds
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.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Every mighty move of the Spirit of God has had its source in the prayer chamber.
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
Prayer is the greatest of all forces, because it honors God and brings him into active aid.
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
Only God can move mountains, but faith and prayer can move God
Edward McKendree Bounds
It is hard to wait and press and pray, and hear no voice, but stay till God answers.
Edward McKendree Bounds
God shapes the world by prayer.
Edward McKendree Bounds
He who would pray, must obey.
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
Prayer is not learned in a classroom but in the closet.
Edward McKendree Bounds
We can learn more in an hour praying, when praying indeed, than from many hours of rigorous study.
Edward McKendree Bounds
Praying men must be strong in hope, and faith, and prayer.
