Edward McKendree Bounds Quotations

The houses of Heaven are God-built and are as enduring and incorruptible as their builder. We will have bodies after the resurrection; transfigured they will be after the model of Christs glorious body.

Faith does the impossible because it brings God to undertake for us, and nothing is impossible with God.

Natural ability and educational advantages do not figure as factors in this matter of prayer; but a capacity for faith, the power of a thorough consecration, the ability of self-littleness, an absolute losing of one's self in God's glory and an ever present and insatiable yearning and seeking after all the fullness of God.

Prayer in Jesus' name puts the crowning crown on God, because it glorifies Him through the Son and it pledges the Son to give to men 'whatsoever and anything' they shall ask.

Prayer succeeds when all else fails

Private place and plenty of time are the life of prayer.

Prayer is the greatest of all forces, because it honors God and brings him into active aid.

God's cause is committed to men; God commits Himself to men. Praying men are the vice-regents of God; they do His work and carry out His plans.

Straight praying is never born of crooked conduct.

The conditions of praying are the conditions of righteousness, holiness, and salvation.
