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

The men who seem to know most of God's power have had great, unspeakable longings, at times, for a fresh consciousness of that power.

The greatest thing anyone can do for God and for man is to pray. You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed. Prayer is striking the winning blow ... service is gathering up the results.

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.

If there be anything that can render the soul calm, dissipate its scruples and dispel its fears, sweeten its sufferings by the anointing of love, impart strength to all its actions, and spread abroad the joy of the Holy Spirit in its countenance and words, it is this simple and childlike repose in the arms of God.

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

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.
