"What the church needs today is not more or better machinery, not new orginazations or more and novel methods,. She needs men whom the Holy Spirit can use-men of prayer, men mighty in prayer. The Holy Spirit does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come on machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men-men of prayer"!

You know the value of prayer;it is precious beyond all price. Never, never neglct it.
- Sir Thomas Buxton
Prayer is the first thing, the second thing, the third thing necessary to a minister. Pray, then, my dear brother: pray, pray, pray.
- Edward Payson
" A certain preacher, whose sermons converted many souls, recieved a revelation from God. It said it was not his sermons or works, but the prayers of an illiterate lay brother who sat on the pulpit steps pleading for the success of the sermon. It was this brother's prayers which brought men to the Lord. This could be the case with us as well. It may be that after laboring long and wearily, without good prayer, all honor belongs to another builder whose prayers were gold, silver, and precious stones; while our sermonizing, being apart from prayer, are but hay and stubble"
-Rev. C.H. Spurgeon
He who has the spirit of prayer has the highest interest in the court of heaven. And the only way to retain it is to keep it in constant employment. Apostasy begins in the closet. No man ever backslides from the life and power of Christianity who continue constant and fervent in private prayer. He who prays without ceasing is likely to rejoice forevermore.
-By Adam Clarke
