My goal is GOD HIMSELF. Not joy, not peace, not even blessing but HIMSELF...my GOD.

Ministers who do not spend two hours a day in prayer are not worth a dime a dozen - degrees or no degrees.

At God's counter there are no sale days, for the price of revival is ever the same: travail!

Books on prayer are good, but not good enough. As books on cooking are good but hopeless unless there is food to work on, so with prayer. One can read a library of prayer books and not be one whit more powerful in prayer. We must learn to pray, and we must pray to learn to pray.

What's the condition of America like, spiritually, tonight? Zero. Why? Because we've got blind men coming out of seminaries. Men there don't teach them they don't hear a word about Hell. They're blind themselves, and as blind men, they lead the blind and they go to Hell.
