Online! | Re: The Work of Prayer | | If He prayed, who was without sin, how much more ought sinners to pray! If He offered continual prayer, the whole night long, how much more ought we to add prayer to prayer, and to watch thereunto by night! -Cyprian (200-258) _________________ SI Moderator - Greg Gordon

Prayer is the first thing, the second thing, the third thing necessary to a minister. Pray, then, my dear brother; pray, pray, pray. Edward Payson

The act of praying is the very highest energy of which the human mind is capable; praying, that is, with the total concentration of the faculties. The great mass of worldly men and of learned men are absolutely incapable of prayer. Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Self-esteem, self-ability in some pernicious shape has defamed and violated the temple which should be held sacred for God. Life-giving preaching costs the preacher much death to self, crucifixion to the world, the travail of his own soul. Crucified preaching can come only from a crucified man E. M. Bounds Power through Prayer

The preachers study ought to be a closet, a Bethel, an altar, a vision, and a ladder, that every thought might ascend heavenward ere it went manward; that every part of the sermon might be scented by the air of heaven and made serious, because God was in the study. E. M. Bounds The Power of Prayer

The preacher must, by prayer, put God in the sermon. The preacher must, by prayer, move God toward the people before he can move the people to God by his words. The preacher must have had audience and ready access to God before he can have access to the people. An open way to God for the preacher is the surest pledge of an open way to the people. E. M. Bounds Power through prayer

Online! | Re: | | Oh, Prayer, prayer! It brings and keeps God and man together. It raises up man to God, and brings down God to man. -George Whitefield _________________ SI Moderator - Greg Gordon

| Re: The Work of Prayer | |
I urge upon you communion with Christ, a growing communion. There are curtains to be drawn aside in Christ that we never saw, and new foldings of love in Him. I despair that I shall ever win to the far end of that love, there are so many plies in it. Therefore dig deep, and sweat and labour and take pains for him, and set by as much time in the day for him as you can: He will be won in the labour. Samuel Rutherford
