I love reading quotes from great men and women of God who spent their lives preaching the Word of God with power and assurance in the Holy Ghost. I want to share a few of these with you, and I pray you will be encouraged to stand bold and strong in the power of His might.
Philippians 1:21 says, “For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” So, whether living or leaving, is all gain in Him.
Charlie Kirk – “My prayer is very simple; God, use me for your will. I’m far more interested in what God wants from me than what I want from God. What God wants from me is a life fighting for truth.”
Phoebe Palmer – “The soul that waits at the altar will not wait in vain. God will fill the vessel that is wholly given. Jesus is not waiting for you to become worthy. He is calling you now. “
Kenneth Hagin – “If you give God your mornings, He will order your steps through the night. If you are not willing to stand forever, you’re not ready to stand at all. You can’t rise above your own thinking, change your mind and you will change your level.”
Kathryn Kuhlman – “There is a price, and it depends on what you want most. It will cost you everything, but it is worth the cost. No gift of the Spirit is ever given for personal glory or for show.”
Andrew Murray – “God works in answer to prayer. It is not enough to talk about prayer, we must pray. Time spent in prayer will yield more than that given to work. Abiding in Him is not a work that we do, but a surrender we yield. Pride must die in you, or nothing of heaven can live in you.”
Oswald Chambers – “Prayer imparts the power to walk and not faint. If we are not living in touch with God, it is easy to blame Him for anything that goes wrong. We slander God by our very eagerness to work for Him without knowing Him.”
Charles Sudd – “True prayer is a partnership with God in His plan for the world. Battle is the best school of prayer. The key to all missionary success is prayer. God’s real people have always been called fanatics.”
Benson Idahosa – “The secret of my success is simple; I talk to God, and I hear from God. You cannot give what you don’t have. A preacher without prayer is an empty vessel making noise. If you don’t spend time with God, you have nothing to offer His people.”
Lester Sumrall – “God is a healing God. Healing is not just what He does, it’s who He is. Feed your faith and starve your doubts to death. God can do anything with a man who is obedient.”
Reinhard Bonnke – “The less Holy Spirit we have, the more cake and coffee we need to keep the church going.”
Watchman Nee – “The flesh cannot be improved; it must be crucified.”
Zacharias Tanee Fomum – “Prayer is war and any soldier who relaxes on the warfront will be taken captive. Sleeping during prayer is evidence of spiritual malady. One of the tragedies of all times is that believers sleep instead of praying. Those who sleep at prayer are lazy soldiers whom the enemy has taken captive.”
Amen! So be it!
