Hurry is the death of Prayer.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
There is no way to learn to pray but by praying.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
Compassion costs. It is easy enough to argue, criticize and condemn, but redemption is costly, and comfort draws from the deep. Brains can argue, but It takes heart to comfort.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
The one thing that is said to have surprised God is that the voice of intercession had ceased. 'And He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor' (Isaiah 59:16).
Samuel Chadwick
Image
Nothing would turn the nation back to God so surely and so quickly as a Church that prayed and prevailed. The world will never believe in a religion in which there is no supernatural power. A rationalized faith, a socialized Church and a moralized gospel may gain applause, but they awaken no conviction and win no converts.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
Prayer turns ordinary mortals into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
The soul's safety is in its heat. Truth without enthusiasm, morality without emotion, ritual without soul, make for a Church without power. Destitute of the Fire of God, nothing else counts possessing Fire, nothing else matters.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
The Church is the Body of Christ, and the Spirit is the Spirit of Christ. He fills the Body, directs its movements, controls its members, inspires its wisdom, supplies it's strength. He guides into truth, sanctifies its agents, and empowers for witnessing. The Spirit has never abdicated His authority nor relegated His power.

Destitute of the fire of God, nothing else counts possessing fire, nothing else matters.

It is wonderful what God can do with a broken heart, if He gets all the pieces.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
intensity is a law of prayer. God is found by those who seek Him with all their heart. Wrestling prayer prevails. The fervent effectual prayer of the righteous is of great force.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
The prayer that prevails is not the work of lips and fingertips. It is the cry of a broken heart and the travail of a stricken soul.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
The Church gives more time, thought, and money to recreation and sport than to prayer.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
Passion does not compensate for ignorance.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
The soul is never less alone than when it is alone with God.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
Brethren, the crying sin of the church is her laziness after God.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
Spirit filled souls are ablaze for God. They love with a love that glows. They serve with a faith that kindles. They serve with a devotion that consumes. They hate sin with fierceness that burns. They rejoice with a joy that radiates. Love is perfected in the fire of God.

The Christian religion is hopeless without the Holy Ghost.
