"Since the days of Pentecost, has the whole church ever put aside every other work and waited upon Him for ten days, that the Spirit's power might be manifested?
We give too much attention to method and machinery and resources, and too little to the source of power."
- Hudson Taylor
"Our God has boundless resources. The only limit is in us. Our asking, our thinking, our praying are too small. Our expectations are too limited."
- A. B. Simpson
"Many Christians estimate difficulty in the light of their own resources, and thus they attempt very little and they always fail. All giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on His power and presence to be with them."
- Hudson Taylor
"When a truth is unfolded by God it most naturally becomes a power in man, who then finds himself able to believe."
- Watchman Nee
"A necessary pre-cursor of any great spiritual awakening is a spirit of deep humiliation growing out of a consciousness of sin, and fresh revelation of the holiness and power and glory of God."
- John R. Mott
"Don't pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees."
- Corrie Ten Boom
"But have we Holy Spirit power - power that restricts the devil's power, pulls down strongholds and obtains promises?
Daring delinquents will be damned if they are not delivered from the devil's dominion. What has hell to fear other than a God-anointed, prayer-powered church?"
- Leonard Ravenhill
"The Holy Spirit is the gift of the Risen Christ. His anointing filling, empowering work is a baptism of love that gives power to make Jesus real to you and known to others."
- Winkie Pratney
"The world has lost the power to blush over its vice; the Church has lost her power to weep over it."
- Leonard Ravenhill
"Grace is not simply leniency when we have sinned. Grace is the enabling gift of God not to sin. Grace is power, not just pardon."
- John Piper
"5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.
7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,
8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed."
- Apostle Peter, 1 Peter 2
