More quotes by R. A. Torrey
Every Christian who does not study, really study, the Bible every day is a fool.
R. A. Torrey
Every true revival from that day to this has had its earthly origin in prayer.
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
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
I would rather go to heaven alone than go to hell in company.
R. A. Torrey
The failure to return thanks for definite blessings received is a manifestation of ingratitude that grieves Jesus Christ.
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
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
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
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
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
Prayer is the key that unlocks all the storehouses of God's. . .grace and 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
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
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
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
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
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
The truly wise man is he who always believes the Bible against the opinions of any man.
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
