Quote

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.

The chief purpose of prayer is that God may be glorified in the answer.
R. A. Torrey
Image
If loving God with all our heart and soul and might is the greatest commandment, then it follows that not loving Him that way is the greatest sin.
R. A. Torrey
Image
When the perceptive child of God stops to weigh the meaning of these words, then notes the connection in which they are found, he or she is driven to say, I must pray, pray, pray. I must put all my energy and heart into prayer. Whatever else I do, I must pray.
R. A. Torrey
Image
I am ready to meet God face to face tonight and look into those eyes of infinite holiness, for all my sins are covered by the atoning blood.
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
Image
Cultivate prompt, exact, unquestioning, joyous obedience to every command that it is evident from its context applies to you. Be on the lookout for new orders from your King. Blessing lies in the direction of obedience to them. God's commands are but signboards that mark the road to present success and blessedness and to eternal glory.
R. A. Torrey
Image
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
Image
To have as one's ever-present friend, and to be conscious that one has as his ever-present friend, the Holy Spirit and to surrender one's life in all it's departments entirely to His control - this is true Christian living.
R. A. Torrey
Image
All that God is, and all that God has, are at the disposal of player. Prayer can do anything that God can do, and as God can do anything, prayer is omnipotent.
R. A. Torrey
Image
We are not saved by denying self, or taking up our cross, or doing anything else, we are saved by simply believing in Jesus.
R. A. Torrey
Image
Pray for great things, expect great things, work for great things, but above all pray.
R. A. Torrey
Image
Just as one gets the firstfruits of spiritual salvation in the life that now is, so we get the firstfruits of our physical salvation in the life that now is.
R. A. Torrey
Image
If you in any way abate the doctrine of hell, it will abate your zeal.
R. A. Torrey
Image
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
Image
Prayer can do anything that God can do.
R. A. Torrey
Image
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
Image
Oh, men and women, pray through pray through! Do not just begin to pray and pray a little while and throw up your hands and quit but pray and pray and pray until God bends the heavens and comes down.
R. A. Torrey
Image
Tell me your doctrine of the Fall and I will tell you the state of your theology.

The best book in the world to put into the hands of one who desires to know about Jesus and to be saved is the gospel of John.

Every true revival from that day to this has had its earthly origin in prayer.
