A man who is intimate with God will never be intimidated by men.
No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere.
No man is greater than his prayer life.
The true man of God is heartsick, grieved at the worldliness of the Church, grieved at the toleration of sin in the Church, grieved at the prayerlessness in the Church. He is disturbed that the corporate prayer of the Church no longer pulls down the strongholds of the devil.
A man may study because his brain is hungry for knowledge, even Bible knowledge. But he prays because his soul is hungry for God.
If Jesus had preached the same message that ministers preach today, He would never have been crucified.
Surely revival delays because prayer decays.
You never have to advertise a fire. Everyone comes running when there's a fire. Likewise, if your church is on fire, you will not have to advertise it. The community will already know it.
The only reason we don't have revival is because we are willing to live without it!
In revival, God is not concerned about filling empty churches, He is concerned about filling empty hearts.
Revival is when God gets so sick and tired of being misrepresented that He shows Himself.
When God-given, heaven-sent revival does come, it will undo in weeks the damage that blasphemous Modernism has taken years to build.
As long as we are content to live without revival, we will.
Revival is the Spirit's passion within the believer to know and to obey the total will of God.
I read of the revivals of the past, great sweeping revivals where thousands of men were swept into the Kingdom of God. I read about Charles G. Finney winning his thousands and his hundreds of thousands of souls to Christ. Then I picked up a book and read the messages of Charles G. Finney and the message of Jonathan Edwards on 'Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,' and I said, 'No wonder men trembled; no wonder they fell in the altars and cried out in repentance and sobbed their way to the throne of grace!'
At God's counter there are no sale days, for the price of revival is ever the same: travail!
Ministers who do not spend two hours a day in prayer are not worth a dime a dozen - degrees or no degrees.
God pity us that after years of writing, using mountains of paper and rivers of ink, exhausting flashy terminology about the biggest revival meetings in history, we are still faced with gross corruption in every nation, as well as with the most prayerless church age since Pentecost.
The man who can get believers to praying would, under God, usher in the greatest revival that the world has ever known.
This much is sure in all churches, forgetting party labels; the smallest meeting numerically is the prayer-meeting. If weak in prayer we are weak everywhere.
Maybe you are the key to revival in your church.
Any true revival can be proven by the fact that it changed the moral climate of an area or nation.
