Prayer is repeating the victor's name (Jesus) into the ears of Satan and insisting on his retreat.

You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.

If there are two persons praying, there are three. If three meet to pray, there are four praying. There is always one more than you can see.

It takes power for the man of God in the pulpit to speak plainly about particular sins before the faces of those who are living in them; and still more power to do it with the rare tactfulness and tenderness of the Galilean preacher.

Faith is blind...to impossibilities and deaf to doubt. It listens only to God.

Prayer wonderfully clears the vision; steadies the nerves; defines duty; stiffens the purpose; sweetens and strengthens the spirit.

The great people of the earth today are the people who pray. I do not mean those who talk about prayer, nor those who say they believe in prayer, nor yet those who can explain about prayer; but I mean these people who take time and pray. They have not time. It must be taken from something else. This something else is important, very important, and pressing, but still less important and less pressing than prayer. There are people that put prayer first, and group the other items in life's schedule around and after prayer.
