prayer fighting long
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.
prayer believe men
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.
prayer listening-ear meditation
Prayer that is born of meditation upon the Word of God is the prayer that soars upward most easily to God's listening ears.
prayer men understanding
Those persons who know the deep peace of God, the unfathomable peace that passeth all understanding, are always men and women of much prayer.
prayer men hands
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.
prayer revival very-true
Every true revival . . . has had its earthly origin in prayer.
errors religion firsts
Before one can correctly understand the work of the Holy Spirit, he must first of all know the Spirit himself. A frequent source of error and fanaticism about the work of the Holy Spirit is the attempt to study and understand His work without, first of all, coming to know Him as a person.
prayer christ ifs
If we then let the words of Christ abide in us, they will stir us up in prayer.
worship contemplation
Worship is adoring contemplation of God.
born-again born word-of-god
The one who is truly born again will love the Word of God.
prayer blood knowing
We must know the power of the Blood if we are to know the power of God. Our knowing experimentally the power of the Word, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the power of prayer is dependent upon our knowing the power of the Blood of Christ.
prayer giving-up believe
The devil is perfectly willing that the Church should multiply its organization and its deftly contrived machinery for the conquest of the world for Christ, if it will only give up praying... Satan laughs softly, as he looks at the Church today, and says under his breath: "You can have your Sunday schools, your YMCAs...your grand choirs, and your fine organs, and your brilliant preachers...as long as you do not bring into them the power of Almighty God, sought and obtained by earnest, persistent, believing, mighty prayers."
bible christian wise
Every type of destruction that human philosophy, human science, human reason, human art, human cunning, human force, and human brutality could bring to bear against this Book, and yet the Bible stands absolutely unshaken today. At times almost all the wise and great of the earth have been pitted against the Bible, and only an obscure few for it. Yet it has stood.
bible christian wise
The truly wise man is he who always believes the Bible against the opinions of any man.
