The law of prayer is the law of harvest: sow sparingly in prayer, reap sparingly sow bountifully in prayer, reap bountifully. The trouble is we are trying to get from our efforts what we never put into them.

The only reason we don't have revival is because we are willing to live without it!

Our spiritual immutarity never shows up more than in our lack of praying, be it alone or in a church prayer meeting. Let 20% of the chior members fail to turn up for rehearsal and the chior master is offended. Let 20% of the church members turn up for a prayer meeting, and the pastor is elated.

Five minutes after you die you'll know how you should have lived.

Great eagles fly alone great lions hunt alone great souls walk alone-alone with God. Such loneliness is hard to endure, and impossible to enjoy unless God accompanied. Prophets are lone men they walk alone, pray alone and God makes them alone.

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

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.

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?

Preaching is not a profession, it's a passion! If a man can't preach with passion he shouldn't preach at all.

If you want to be popular, preach happiness. If you want to be unpopular, preach holiness.

We are not eternity conscious enough.

Some Day Someone is going to pick up this book (The Bible) and believe it, and put us all to shame.

Can any deny that in the modern church setup the main cause of anxiety is money? Yet that which tries the modern churches the most, troubled the New Testament Church the least. Our emphasis is on paying theirs was on praying. When we have paid, the place is taken when they had prayed, the place was shaken!

The brutal, soul-shaking truth is that we are so earthly minded we are of no heavenly use.

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

Some preachers master thier subjects some subjects master the preacher once in awhile one meets a preacher who is both master of, and also mastered by his subject. The apostle Paul, I am sure, was in that category.

Is the world crucified to you or does it fascinate you?

If the whole church goes off into deception, that will in no way excuse us for not following Christ.
