Could You Not Tarry One Hour Quotes

“Every believer may not be called to preach, but every Christian is called to pray. Prayer is our duty. Prayer is our privilege. Prayer, like air, water and food, is necessary for our survival and growth. But many believers regard prayer as an optional activity.”

“I knew we had only a minute and my one-liner had better be good, so I blurted out something like, “Dr. Cho, how did you build such a great church?” He smiled back at me and, with no hesitation, replied, “I pray, and I obey.” And then he laughed. I chuckled with him, but inside I was rehearsing his words. That's the key, I muttered to myself. That's it right there. Pray and obey, Larry. Pray and obey. I will never forget his words. You see, there are a lot of people who want to obey, but they do not pray. And there are some people who pray, but do not have the courage to obey. But prayer and obedience must go hand in hand if we are to move into the power and anointing of the Spirit of God.”

“Face the facts. If you do not begin to pray, you will not be any further along with the Lord next year than you are right now. There is always the agony of choice before the promise of change. So what will it be: business as usual or are you ready to take your next step with God? Jesus is waiting for you to pray, “Lord, make my temple a house of purity, prayer, power and perfected praise for Thy glory.” He is ready to begin that divine progression in your temple right now. Are you?”
