Begin the Adventure: Discovering Purpose, Vision, and Passion

Quote

History belongs to the intercessors.

Walter Winktest

You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed.

S. D. Gordontest

God does nothing on the earth except save in answer to believing prayer.

John Wesleytest

God's giving is inseparably connected with our askingﾅ

Andrew Murraytest

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

S. D. Gordontest

We are working with God to determine the future. Certain things will happen in history if we pray rightly.

Richard Fostertest

After asking, we tend to sit back and wait on God when He is often waiting on us.

Dutch Sheetstest

For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous and his ears are attentive to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil.

1 Peter 3:12 NIVtest

We must no longer see prayer as preparation for action. Prayer must be understood as action itself, a way of responding, a potent spiritual weapon to be used in spiritual warfare against the most powerful forces in the world. Prayer is not undertaken instead of other actions, but as a foundation for all the rest of the actions we take.

Jim Wallistest

We don't wait well. We're into microwaving. God, on the other hand, is usually into marinating.

Dutch Sheetstest

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Phil. 4:6 NIVtest

As soon as a city is saturated with prayer cells, and Christians begin to pray for the felt needs of the lost, God surprises them with almost immediate answers to prayer. In fact, prayer for the felt needs of that one-hundredth sheep is the spiritual equivalent of dialing 911.

Ed Silvosotest

The best way to pray intelligently for the unsaved, and especially those in authority, is to get to know them and to maintain contact with them in order to pray for their felt needs.

Ed Silvosotest

Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

Mark 11:24 NIVtest

The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

James 5:16b NIVtest

We must be very careful not to substitute the means for the end. Our means - our ministry - should become the stepping stones, the open doors, for actual evangelizing.... Prayer is a very important means in the salvation process.

Evelyn Christensontest

Revival praying, biblically understood, is the highest form of spiritual warfare, because when God answers, revival leads the church into powerful new advances in fulfilling the Great Commision.

David Bryanttest

It is said that during the Desert Storm operation Hussein would tune into CNN to see if his Scud missiles hit their targets. Our forces uses smart bombs to specified targets. We have had too much Scud missile praying in our churches. We need more smart bomb praying.

Bob Beckettest

After the federal building in Oklahoma City was bombed, a company with demolition expertise was brought in to bring the rest of the building down. The top man, a Christian, told an interviewer an interesting statement. "The amount of explosive we use is not the most important issue," he said. "The most important issue is where to place the explosives." The same is true in spiritual warfare praying. The issue is not so much how much prayer, but how strategic we can make the prayer. More knowledge - either by research or revelation, enables more effective prayer.

George Otistest

I would further imagine that if I came to your church on a given Sunday morning and said to the congregation, "Let's spend the next 10 minutes in hearing testimonies of answered prayer for individuals here in the church," filling time would be no problem. The same would go for answered prayers for families, and prayers for the pastors and the church. If I asked for answered prayers for the community, however, most churches would have a hard time filling even 2 minutes, never mind 10. Many would admit they have been praying for their community for 10 years and it is worse now than it was 10 years ago.

C. Peter Wagnertest

Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all the saints, on the golden altar before the throne. The smoke of the incense, together with the prayers of the saints, went up before God from the angel's hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and hurled it on the earth; and there came peals of thunder, rumblings, flashes of lightning and an earthquake.

Rev. 8:3-5 NIVtest

As long as there are tests, there will be prayer in public schools.
