“If I am to have faith when I pray, I must find some promise in the Word of God to rest my faith on”
R.A. Torrey“If I am to have faith when I pray, I must find some promise in the Word of God to rest my faith on”
R.A. Torrey“If we are to have real faith, we must study the Word of God and discover what is promised. Then, we must simply believe the promises of God. Trying to believe something that you want to believe is not faith. Believing what God says in His Word is faith.”
R.A. Torrey“We sometimes fear to bring our troubles to God, because they must seem small to Him who sitteth on the circle of the earth. But if they are large enough to vex and endanger our welfare, they are large enough to touch His heart of love.”
R.A. Torrey“Prayer that is born of meditation upon the Word of God is the prayer that soars upward most easily to God's listening ears. Topics: Prayer, MeditationI am ready to meet God face to face tonight and look into those eyes of infinite holiness, for all my sins are covered by the atoning blood. Topics: Salvation, AtonementWhen the devil sees a man or woman who really believes in prayer, who knows how to pray, and who really does pray, and, above all, when he sees a whole church on its face before God in prayer, he trembles as much as he ever did, for he knows that his day in that church or community is at an end. Topics: Satan, PrayerGod's Word is pure and sure, in spite of the devil, in spite of your fear, in spite of everything. Topics: ScriptureDo not study commentaries, lesson helps or other books about the Bible: study the Bible itself. Do not study about the Bible, study the Bible. The Bible is the Word of God, and only the Bible is the Word of God. Topics: The BibleAll that God is, and all that God has, is at the disposal of prayer. Prayer can do anything that God can do, and as God can do everything, prayer is omnipotent.”
R.A. Torrey“The one who expects God to do as he asks Him must on his part do whatever God bids him.”
R.A. Torrey, How to Pray“Many who read their Bibles make the great mistake of confining all their reading to certain portions of the Bible which they enjoy. In this way they get no knowledge of the Bible as a whole. They miss altogether many of the most important phases of Bible truth.”
R.A. Torrey, How to Succeed in the Christian Life“I. All the distinctive characteristics of personality are ascribed to the Holy Spirit in the Bible.”
R.A. Torrey, The Person and Work of The Holy Spirit“It is of the highest importance from the standpoint of experience that we know the Holy Spirit as a person.”
R.A. Torrey, The Person and Work of The Holy Spirit“There are at least four distinct lines of proof in the Bible that the Holy Spirit is a person.”
R.A. Torrey, The Person and Work of The Holy Spirit“What are the distinctive characteristics, or marks, of personality? Knowledge, feeling or emotion, and will. Any entity that thinks and feels and wills is a person.”
