"Are you truly a Spirit-filled Christian? Does the term "Spirit-filled"
describe your doctrine or your devotion?" - David Smithers
"Spirit filled souls are ablaze for God. They love with a love that
glows. They serve with a faith that kindles. They serve with a
devotion that consumes. They hate sin with fierceness that burns.
They rejoice with a joy that radiates. Love is perfected in the fire of
God." - Samuel Chadwick
"How is it that the soul being of such value, and God so great,
eternity so near and yet we are so little moved?" - William Bramwell
"Pray, O pray, my brother! never, never quit your hold of the
fullness of God; for time is nearly over, and if this fullness be lost it
will be lost forever. I am astonished that we do not pray more, yea,
that we do not live every moment as on the brink of the eternal
world, and in the blessed expectation of that glorious country."
- William Bramwell
"A real minister of the gospel is a man of prayer. Prayer is his
grand employment, his safety, his first and perpetual duty; and
under grace, the grand source of his consolation. Our instructions
will be always barren, if they be not watered with our tears and
prayers." - Thomas Coke
"A man may study because his brain is hungry for knowledge,
even Bible knowledge. But he prays because his soul is hungry
for God." - Leonard Ravenhill
"A zealous man feels that like a lamp he is made to burn; and if
consumed in burning, he has but done the work for which God
appointed him. Such a one will always find a sphere for his zeal. If
he cannot preach and work and give money, he will cry and sigh
and pray." - J. C. Ryle
"Lord grant that the FIRE of my heart may melt the lead in my
feet." - Unknown
"A minister, who prays not, who is not in love with prayer, is not a
minister of the Church of God. He is a dry tree, which occupies in
vain a place in Christ's garden. He is an enemy, and not a father,
of the people. He is a stranger, who has taken the place of the
shepherd, and to whom the salvation of the flock is an indifferent
thing." - Thomas Coke
"In Shansi I found Chinese Christians who were accustomed to
spend time in fasting and prayer. They recognized that this fasting,
which so many dislike, which requires faith in God, since it makes
one feel weak and poorly, is really a Divinely appointed means of
grace. Perhaps the greatest hindrance to our work is our own
imagined strength; and in fasting we learn what poor, weak
creatures we are - dependent on a meal of meat for the little
strength which we are so apt to lean upon." - J. Hudson Taylor
"The Azusa revival began where every revival should rightly begin -
in repentant tears. It began in tears, it lived in tears, and when the
tears ended the Azusa revival ended." - A. G. Osterberg
