Prayer quotes that rock

Posted on Wednesday 30 July 2008 by Greg @ 8:38 pm
Filed under: Rants

Here are some quotes I used for a sermon I preached in the Dare 2 Share chapel service today. This sermon will be on the Dare 2 Share Uncensored Podcast this Friday if you want to check it out.

We are going through an especially challenging time financially right now as a ministry but we are asking the Lord to provide and trusting in him to do it. Join us in prayer over the next sixty days that God does something big. As you pray I hope these quotes encourage you as they did me.

“Prayer is not overcoming God’s reluctance, but laying hold of His willingness.” Martin Luther.

“Men may spurn our appeals, reject our message, oppose our arguments, despise our persons, but they are helpless against our prayers.” Sidlow Baxter

“I look at a stone cutter hammering away at a rock a hundred times without so much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the 101st blow it splits in two. I know it was not the one blow that did it, but all that had gone before.”

“There is no power like that of prevailing prayer, of Abraham pleading for Sodom, Jacob wrestling in the stillness of the night, Moses standing in the breach, Hannah intoxicated with sorrow, David heartbroken with remorse and grief, Jesus in sweat of blood….Such prayer prevails. It turns ordinary mortals into men of power. It brings power. It brings fire. It brings rain. It brings life. It brings God.” Samuel Chadwick

Let us pray…

Signed, Greg Stier

    • Greg, I found the other quote you had referenced today in chapel:
      “The one concern of the devil’s is to keep the saints from prayer. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, mocks at our wisdom, but trembles when we pray.” ~Samuel Chadwick

    • I heard someone say a few months ago, that you should turn your prayer from a plea to a PROCLAMATION :)

      So I proclaim BLESSING, I proclaim an open heaven over Dare 2 Share, I proclaim that EVERY NEED will be met!

      Father I thank you that you can do above and beyond anything we ask or think!

      AMEN!

    • “Work, work from early till late. In fact I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer” - Martin Luther

      After 9 years as a Christian I am really seeing the need for more than just conversational prayer throughout the day. I am noticing the need in my own life for times of absolute solitude w/ all distractions removed (even the laptop and cell!) Just me w/ my face on the floor and nothing else for an extended period of time.

      I will include D2S in those times over the next 2 mos.

      By way of encouragement my students are super stoked for Invincible in Denver.

      And I am super excited for the GJ Maui. What an impact the first one has had not just on our student ministry but the entire Body of Christ.

      Keep up the Great work. Trust in God and Keep the Powder Dry!

    • Those are good, but you still can’t beat James 5:16. “Confess your sins to one another that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” It’s dripping with theological implications, but I guess that’s what you’d expect from the Word of God.

    • We will commit to praying for you even though we are no longer officially youth leaders. We are broken, but still committed to the hearts and lives of those your ministry touches. Thank you so much for all you do.

    • Way to bring in the Bible Tim- now we all feel guilty :)

      My favorite-

      If any of you should ask me for an epitome of the Christian religion, I should say that it is in one word - prayer. Live and die without prayer, and you will pray long enough when you get to hell.
      Charles Spurgeon
