Prayer is the opening of the heart so we can receive all these good things that God has for us every day. It's like sitting down at a table that God has prepared for us. He says, 'I have everything you need today - all the grace, all the wisdom, all the provision that you need - but sit down at the table and eat. Don't be so rushed and so busy and try to live without My supply.'

I knew God wanted to do much more...and he would, if we provided good soil in which he could work.

No matter what I preach or what we claim to believe in our heads, the future will depend upon our times of prayer.

O God, split the heavens and come down! Manifest yourself somehow. Do what only you can do.

People pay attention when they see that God actually changes persons and sets them free. When a new Christian stands up and tells how God has revolutionized his or her life, no one dozes off. When someone is healed or released from a life-controlling bondage, everyone takes notice.

We need to realize that the promises that overflow our Bibles will overflow into our own lives only as we appropriate them through prayer.

A great door opened by God for work, but while I'm doing the work, all Hell breaks loose. Oh! The idea that when God opens a door and He's with you, you don't have to fight. Oh, what a joke. That is a joke. In fact, if you don't feel the devil fighting against you, that's a bad sign.
