Soul Stirring Quotes

From my Set Apart notebook...may they light a fire in all of us

"What is the secret to great living?
Entire separation to Christ and devotion to Him. Thus speaks every man and woman whose life has made more than a passing flicker in the spiritual realm. It is the life that has no time for trifling that counts."
~ Amy Carmichael

"What does it mean to be a Christian?
Your life is hid with Christ; you are not your own. You have no time of your own; no money of your own; Christ must become your complete Master."
~ Leonard Ravenhill

"Those who catch the vision are ready to follow the Lamb wherever He leads, and as they follow, in this spirit of joyful adventure, their path becomes clear before them and they are given power to fulfill their high calling. They are those who have the courage to break through conventionalities, who care not at all what the world thinks of them, because they are entirely taken up with the tremendous reality of Christ."
~ Amy Carmichael

"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 heartbroekn 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

"Our praying needs to be pressed and pursued with an energy that never tires, a dpersistency which will not be denied, and a courage that never fails."
~ E.M. Bounds

"No man is greater than his prayer life. The pastor who is not praying is playing; the people who are not praying are straying. Poverty-stricken as the Church is today in many things, she is most stricken here, in the place of prayer. In the matter of New Testament, Spirit-inspired, hell-shaking, world-breaking power, never has so much been left to so few. For this kind of prayer there is no substitue. We do it - or we die!"
~ Leonard Ravenhill

"Don't pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it."
~ Corrie ten Boom

"Jesus never came and said, "I love you." He didn't say it - He showed it. He didn't just bless us - He died for us. He wept for us. He gave up His life for you, and now He is asking you to share everything He has given you with others."
~ Jackie Pullenger

"We are the Body of Christ. We are His hands and feet. What do Christ's hands and feet do? They bind wounds. They offer forgiveness. They set captives free. They heal the sick. They minister to children. They seek out the sinner. They drive out evil form the temple of God. They walk the road to Calvary. And they are pierced through that we might be saved."
~ Leslie Ludy
