In Shansi I found Chinese Christians who were accustomed to spend time in fasting and prayer. They recognized that this fasting, which so many dislike, which requires faith in God, since it makes one feel weak and poorly, is really a Divinely appointed means of grace. Perhaps the greatest hindrance to our work is our own imagined strength; and in fasting we learn what poor, weak creatures we are-dependent on a meal of meat for the little strength which we are so apt to lean upon.

Learn to move man, through God, by prayer alone

All God's giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reackoned on God being with them.

The prayer power has never been tried to its full capacity...if we want to see mighty wonders of divine power and grace wrought in the place of weakness, failure and disappointment, let us answer God's standing challenge, "Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not."

There are three indispensable requirements for a missionary: 1. Patience 2. Patience 3. Patience.

Satan, the Hinderer, may build a barrier about us, but he can never roof us in, so that we cannot look up.

If it is true in anything, it is especially true of divine things, what costs little is worth little.
