But have we Holy Ghost power — power that restricts the devil's power, pulls down strongholds, and obtains promises? Daring delinquents will be damned if they are not delivered from the devil's dominion. What has hell to fear other than a God-anointed, prayer-powered church?

Where there is no passion, the church perishes, even though it be full to the doors.

The tragedy is that we have too many dead men in the pulpits giving out too many dead sermons to too many dead people.

You never have to advertise a fire. Everyone comes running when there's a fire. Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it. The community will already know it.

No church group that knows spiritual warfare has wiener roasts or even passion plays. There is a real warfare. I have said before that we are an arrogant, self-styled bunch of believers. We believe to the point of inconvenience - and then quit.

The first essential for the coming of the Holy Ghost into a heart today is that the heart should be cleansed from sin, for the Holy Spirit does not fill an unclean heart. What God has cleansed, He then fills. Finally, whom God fills, He uses. A holy life is the authentic sign of being filled with the Spirit.

We live in a day of itching ears, but I have no commission from God to scratch them.

The true Church is born from above. In it there are no sinners, and outside of it no saints. No man can put another's name on its member's roll and no man can cross another's name off that roll.

Jesus did not come into the world to make bad men good. He came into the world to make dead men live!

The attitude of the average Christian today is relax and be raptured. But He is coming... and when God gets angry you´ve no idea what it is. Like a thousand volcanoes exploding. He has appointed a day in which He is going to judge the world and the poor blindworld doesn´t know much about it and the poor blind church doesn´t think much about it now.

Christ cared enough for sinners to die for them. Do we care enough for sinners to live to reach them?

LORD strengthen me where I am too weak and weaken me where I am too strong!

I believe the place of prayer is not only a place where I lose my burdens, but also a place where I get a burden. He shares my burden and I share His burden. ... To know that burden, we must hear the voice of the Spirit. To hear that voice, we must be still and know that He is God.

They're called in the Scripture the Beatitudes. You know why they're called the Beatitudes without being prestigious? Because they should be the attitudes of every believer. That's the normal Christian life, not the abnormal Christian life. The normal Christian life is holiness.

To stand before men on behalf of God is one thing. To stand before God on behalf of men is something entirely different.

The men that have been the most heroic for God have had the greatest devotional lives.

When God-given, heaven-sent revival does come, it will undo in weeks the damage that blasphemous Modernism has taken years to build.

The Bible parable says that while men slept, the enemy sowed tares among the wheat. A boy who rises at 4:30 to deliver papers is considered a go-getter, but to urge our young people to rise at 5:30 to pray is considered fanaticism. We must once again wear the harness of discipline. There is no other way.
