Those persons who know the deep peace of God, the unfathomable peace that passeth all understanding, are always men and women of much prayer.

R. A. Torrey (Writer, 1856 – 1928)

We must always bear in mind that the primary purpose of our work is not to get people to join a church, to give up their bad habits, or to do anything other than to accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.

R. A. Torrey (Writer, 1856 – 1928)

All that God is, and all that God has, are at the disposal of prayer. Prayer can do anything that God can do, and as God can do anything, prayer is omnipotent.

R. A. Torrey (Writer, 1856 – 1928)

God’s Word is pure and sure, in spite of the devil, in spite of your fear, in spite of everything.

R. A. Torrey (Writer, 1856 – 1928)

One of the commonest causes of failure in Christian life is found in the attempt to follow some good man whom we greatly admire. No man and no woman, no matter how good, can be safely followed. If we follow any man or woman, we are bound to go astray. There has been but one absolutely perfect Man on this earth-the Man Christ Jesus. If we try to follow any other man we are surer to imitate his faults than his excellencies. Look to Jesus and Jesus only as your Guide.

R. A. Torrey (Writer, 1856 – 1928)

I would rather win souls than be the greatest king or emperor on earth; I would rather win souls than be the greatest general that ever commanded an army; I would rather win souls than be the greatest poet, or novelist, or literary man who ever walked the earth. My one ambition in life is to win as many as possible.

R. A. Torrey (Writer, 1856 – 1928)

Pray for great things, expect great things, work for great things, but above all pray.

R. A. Torrey (Writer, 1856 – 1928)

Triumphant prayer is almost impossible where there is neglect of the study of the Word of God.

R. A. Torrey (Writer, 1856 – 1928)

I have personally found this to be true. How do you know what the LORD wants you to pray for and if it is His will unless you study the Word of God (The Holy Bible). If you pray for the things that God tells you He cares about, then you are bound to have success. Like praying for someone to come to Christ.

The devil is perfectly willing that the Church should multiply its organization and its deftly contrived machinery for the conquest of the world for Christ, if it will only give up praying… Satan laughs softly, as he looks at the Church today, and says under his breath: “You can have your Sunday schools, your YMCAs…your grand choirs, and your fine organs, and your brilliant preachers…as long as you do not bring into them the power of Almighty God, sought and obtained by earnest, persistent, believing, mighty prayers.”

R. A. Torrey (Writer, 1856 – 1928)

Prayer is the key that unlocks all the storehouses of God’s. . .grace and power.

R. A. Torrey (Writer, 1856 – 1928)
