Men of prayer must be men of steel, for they will be assaulted by Satan even before they attempt to assault his kingdom.

I doubt that more than two percent of professing Christians in the United States are truly born again.

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!

I've got The Father on my side, Jesus Christ, The Holy Spirit and 2/3 of the angels. What do you think I'm going to do? Sit down and cry?

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?

Smart men walked on the moon, daring men walked on the ocean floor, but wise men walk with God.

There’s a difference between changing your opinion, and changing your lifestyle.
Leonard Ravenhill
Image
There's one thing we need above everything else it's something we don't talk about these days. We need a mighty avalanche of conviction of sin.

Prayer is as mighty as God, because He has committed Himself to answer it.

If Jesus came back today, he wouldn’t cleanse the temple, he’d cleanse the pulpit.

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.
