Quote

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.

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.

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.

God pity us that after years of writing, using mountains of paper and rivers of ink, exhausting flashy terminology about the biggest revival meetings in history, we are still faced with gross corruption in every nation, as well as with the most prayerless church age since Pentecost.

All you have to do is get in a closer walk with God and you'll find your enemies are in your own church.

The early Church was married to poverty, prisons and persecutions. Today, the church is married to prosperity, personality, and popularity.

Paul never glamorized the gospel! It is not success, but sacrifice! It's not a glamous gospel ,but a bloody gospel, a gory gospel, and a sacrificial gospel! 5 minutes inside eternity and we will wish that we had sacrificed more!!! Wept more, bled more, grieved more, loved more, prayed more, given more!!!
