God's greatest agency; man's greatest agency, for defeating the enemy and winning men back is intercession.

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

One should never initiate anything that he cannot saturate with prayer.

Prayer does not influence God. Prayer surely does influence God. It does not influence His purpose. It does influence His action.

If 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.

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.

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.
