More quotes by R. A. Torrey
Pray for great things, expect great things, work for great things, but above all pray.
R. A. Torrey
We must always bear in mind that the primary purpose of our work is not to get people to join a church, to give up their bad habits, or to do anything other than to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.
R. A. Torrey
Prayer can do anything that God can do.
R. A. Torrey
Do not study commentaries, lesson helps or other books about the Bible: study the Bible itself. Do not study about the Bible, study the Bible. The Bible is the Word of God, and only the Bible is the Word of God.
R. A. Torrey
I prayed fifteen years for the conversion of my oldest brother. When he seemed to be getting further and further away from any hope of conversion, I prayed on.
R. A. Torrey
Every Christian who does not study, really study, the Bible every day is a fool.
R. A. Torrey
We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power.
R. A. Torrey
It is of the highest importance from the standpoint of experience that we know the Holy Spirit as a person.
R. A. Torrey
Ninety-nine Christians in every hundred are merely playing at Bible study and therefore ninety-nine Christians in every hundred are mere weaklings, when they might be giants, both in their Christian life and in their service.
R. A. Torrey
The reason why many fail in battle is because they wait until the hour of battle. The reason why others succeed is because they have gained their victory on their knees long before the battle came. Anticipate your battles fight them on your knees before temptation comes, and you will always have victory.
R. A. Torrey
The failure to return thanks for definite blessings received is a manifestation of ingratitude that grieves Jesus Christ.
R. A. Torrey
When the devil sees a man or woman who really believes in prayer, who knows how to pray, and who really does pray, and, above all, when he sees a whole church on its face before God in prayer, he trembles as much as he ever did, for he knows that his day in that church or community is at an end.
R. A. Torrey
I would rather go to heaven alone than go to hell in company.
R. A. Torrey
The man or woman at home who prays often has as much to do with the effectiveness of the missionary on the field, and consequently with the results of his or her labors, as the missionary.
R. A. Torrey
God has not changed and His ear is just as quick to hear the voice of real prayer, and His hand is just as long and strong to save as it ever was.
R. A. Torrey
We are too busy to pray, and so we are too busy to have power. We have a great deal of activity, but we accomplish little many services but few conversions much machinery but few results.
R. A. Torrey
The Devil is perfectly willing that the church should multiply its organizations and its deftly contrived machinery for the conquest of the world for Christ, if it will only give up praying...The Devil is not afraid of machinery he is only afraid of God. And machinery without prayer is machinery without God.
R. A. Torrey
Tell me your doctrine of the Fall and I will tell you the state of your theology.
R. A. Torrey
I would rather win souls than be the greatest king or emperor on earth I would rather win souls than be the greatest general that ever commanded an army I would rather win souls than be the greatest poet, or novelist, or literary man who ever walked the earth. My one ambition in life is to win as many as possible.
R. A. Torrey
Prayer is the key that unlocks all the storehouses of God's. . .grace and power.
R. A. Torrey
