God's greatest agency; man's greatest agency, for defeating the enemy and winning men back is intercession.
S. D GordonPrayer is partnership with God in His planet-sized purposes, and includes the "all things" beside, as an important detail of the whole.
S. D GordonNo man's hand has ever yet reached up to take as much as the Pierced Hand is reaching down to give.
S. D GordonIf we lose the spirit of 'go,' we have lost the very Christian spirit itself. A disobedient church will become a dead church. It will die of heart failure.
S. D GordonThe greatest thing anyone can do for God and man is pray. It is not the only thing; but it is the chief thing. The great people of the earth today are the people who pray. I do not mean those who talk about prayer; not those who can explain about prayer; but I mean those people who take time and pray.
S. D GordonThe 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.
