Powerful Prayer Quotes-Paul Washer, Hudson Taylor, Bonar, Keith Green
Jul 31 by Kevin Williams
These wonderful quotes on prayer have both blessed me and challenged me in the last week (more quotes on the links):
James Hudson Taylor: “Do not have your concert first, and then tune your instrument afterwards. Begin the day with the Word of God and prayer, and get first of all into harmony with Him.”- from James Hudson Taylor – Powerful Prayer Quotes”.
Paul Washer on worthless prayer Meetings: “Most prayer meetings are absolutely worthless. So that I’m really clear, most prayer meetings are absolutely worthless. First of all because they are like town meetings. They spend 20 minutes telling people news… it’s almost like a town gossip session…
Don’t even think about the hypocritical thing that goes on in churches today, in which you stand up, and you share with people a need that you’ve never even prayed about. How many times have you done that? You share a need and you haven’t even prayed about it. You’re not burdened about it...” Click here to listen to the 6 min audio
Andrew A Bonar: “We have not been men of prayer. The spirit of prayer has slumbered among us. The closet has been too little frequented and delighted in. We have allowed business, study or active labor to interfere with our closet-hours. And the feverish atmosphere in which both the church and the nation are enveloped has found its way into our prayer closets…” from: Andrew A Bonar – Quotes on Prayer.
Keith Green: If your heart takes more pleasure in reading novels, or watching TV, or going to the movies, or talking to friends, rather than just sitting alone with God and embracing Him, sharing His cares and His burdens, weeping and rejoicing with Him, then how are you going to handle forever and ever in His presence…? You’d be bored to tears in heaven, if you’re not ecstatic about God now!” Puritan Fellowship.
