Too often we treat prayer as the preparation for the work of the church. Do you not see? Prayer IS the work of the church.

God wants to use us as He used His own Son

The passion of Christianity comes from deliberately signing away my own rights and becoming a bondservant of Jesus Christ. Until I do that, I will not begin to be a saint.

The real business of your life as a saved soul is intercessory prayer.

The prayer of the feeblest saint who lives in the Spirit and keeps right with God is a terror to Satan. The very powers of darkness are paralyzed by prayer; no spiritualistic seance can succeed in the presence of a humble praying saint. No wonder Satan tries to keep our minds fussy in active work till we cannot think in prayer.

If God has made your cup sweet, drink it with grace; if He has made it bitter, drink it in communion with Him.

Grapes become wine only when they have been squeezed.
