Power in Prayer

Dr. Tony Evans has a whole series about prayer in March podcast. All prayers are heard but prayers are not answered due to lack of knowledge and obedience on meeting God’s terms. We can change that. Please listen for your wisdom, understanding and power in prayer. https://www.oneplace.com/ministries/the-alternative/listen/

Here are some inspiring quotes from Christians who knew very well the power of prayer. You can Google them to learn more about these legendary servants of God:

“Our prayers lay the track down on which God’s power can come. Like a mighty locomotive, His power is irresistible, but it cannot reach us without rails.” – Watchman Nee 

“Jesus is Victor. Calvary is the place of victory. Obedience is the pathway of victory. Bible study and prayer is the preparation for victory.” – Corrie ten Boom 

“The trumpet still plays the notes of war. You cannot sit down and put the victory wreath on your head. You do not have a crown just yet. You still must wear the helmet and carry the sword. You must watch, pray, and fight. Expect your last battle to be the most difficult, for the enemy’s fiercest charge is reserved for the end of the day.” – Charles Spurgeon 

“The true purpose in prayer is that God may be glorified in the answer.” -R.A. Torrey

“When the devil sees a man or woman who really believes in prayer, who knows how to pray, and who really does pray, and above all, when he sees a whole church in its face before God in prayer, he trembles as much as he ever did, for he knows that his day in that church or community is at an end.” – R.A. Torrey 

“If you are a stranger to prayer, you are a stranger to the greatest source of power known to human beings.” -Billy Sunday

“The less I pray, the harder it gets.” – Martin Luther

This person was not a Christian but I thought his quote was worthy to meditate on:

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” – Sun Tzu (Art of War author, ancient Chinese military strategist)
