More quotes by Samuel Chadwick

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
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.

Brains can argue, but it takes heart to comfort.

The Christian religion is hopeless without the Holy Ghost.
Samuel Chadwick
Image
The soul is never less alone than when it is alone with 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.

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

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.
