R. A. Torrey (Power)

We must know the power of the Blood if we are to know the power of God. Our knowing experimentally the power of the Word, the power of the Holy Spirit, and the power of prayer is dependent upon our knowing the power of the Blood of Christ.

R. A. Torrey (Writer, 1856 – 1928)

If you study the subject of “Blood” in the Bible you will see that it is by Jesus Christ’s innocent pure blood that was shed at the Cross is what actually defeated Satan. For according to Genesis 9:6 if you shed the blood of an innocent man that your blood is required of you. Which means Satan cast his own judgment when he sent Jesus to the Cross.

R. A. Torrey (Audience)

If we would pray aright, the first thing we should do is to see to it that we really get an audience with God, that we really get into His very presence. Before a word of petition is offered, we should have the definite consciousness that we are talking to God, and should believe that He is listening and is going to grant the thing that we ask of Him.

R. A. Torrey (Writer, 1856 – 1928)

R. A. Torrey (Peace)

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)

R. A. Torrey (Primary)

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)

R. A. Torrey (Disposal)

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)

R. A. Torrey (Guide)

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)

R. A. Torrey (Win)

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)

R. A. Torrey (Triumphant)

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.
