quoteArray[0]="\"A church in the land without the Spirit is rather a curse than a blessing. If you have not the Spirit of God, Christian worker, remember that you stand in somebody else's way; you are a fruitless tree standing where a fruitful tree might grow.\" - C. H. Spurgeon"
quoteArray[1]="\"A gift without a heart behind it is a bribe. God asks for our heart, not our gifts.\" - Samuel Chadwick"
quoteArray[2]="\"A heart ready to melt at the sight of human suffering and need is necessary to successful soul-winning...Where there is no real soul-burden for sinners, there will be no revival. The early Church travailed in pain for the souls of dying men.\" - J. W. Mahood"
quoteArray[3]="\"A lost reputation is the best degree for Christ's service. To raise living churches of souls among the destitute, to capture men from the devil's clutches, to snatch them from the jaws of hell, to enlist and train them for Jesus, to make them into an almighty army for God-this can only be accomplished by red-hot, unconventional, unfettered Holy Ghost religion, by reckless sacrifice and heroism in the foremost trenches. It is the hot, free heart, and not the balanced head, that knocks the devil out.\" - C.T. Studd"
quoteArray[4]="\"A marble cutter, with chisel and hammer, was changing a stone into a statue.  A preacher looking on said: 'I wish I could deal such changing blows on stony hearts. ' The workman answered: 'Maybe you could, if you worked like me, upon your knees.\" - A. T. Pierson"
quoteArray[5]="\"A pastor is to turn people into an army, not a breadline. It is hard getting people off welfare, but it is better for them to become productive.\" - Steve Gray"
quoteArray[6]="\"A prayerless man is proud and independent, and any church that neglects corporate prayer is sadly no better. Only God\"'s humble and needy children take the time to pray. Everyone else is just going through the motions and naively trusting in their own strength!\" - David Smithers"
quoteArray[7]="\"A revival almost always begins among the laity. The ecclesiastical leaders seldom welcome reformation. History repeats itself. The present leaders are too comfortably situated as a rule to desire innovation that might require sacrifice on their part. And God's fire only falls on sacrifice. An empty altar receives no fire!\" - Frank Bartleman"
quoteArray[8]="\"A sermon in shoes is often more eloquent than a sermon on paper.\" - Theodore L. Cuyler"
quoteArray[9]="\"After a man is a Christian, I work him day and night.  I believe that for one man killed by overwork in the cause of Christ, ten-thousand die from laziness.\" - D.L. Moody"
quoteArray[10]="\"America cannot fall - because she is already fallen! This goes for Britain, too. She cannot go into slavery - because her people are fettered at the moment in the chains of self-forged, self-chosen moral anarchy. Here are millions, diseased morally, with no longing for healing. Here are men paying for shadows at the price of their immortal souls.\" - Leonard Ravenhill"
quoteArray[11]="\"And we ourselves are \"saved to save\" - we are made to give - to let everything go if only we may have more to give. The pebble takes in all the rays of light that fall on it, but the diamond flashes them out again; every little facet is a means, not simply of drinking more in, but of giving more out.\" - Lillias Trotter"
quoteArray[12]="\"Any church that is not seriously involved in helping fulfill the Great Commission has forfeited its biblical right to exist.\" - Oswald J. Smith"
quoteArray[13]="\"Are you living for the things you are praying for?\" - Austin Phelps"
quoteArray[14]="\"Are you truly a Spirit-filled Christian? Does the term \"Spirit-filled\" describe your doctrine or your devotion?\" - David Smithers"
quoteArray[15]="\"As long as there are millions destitute of the Word of God and knowledge of Jesus Christ, it will be impossible for me to devote time and energy to those who have both.\" - J. L. Ewen"
quoteArray[16]="\"Backsliders are the most unhappy people in the world.  They neither enjoy God nor the world.  They have too much Christianity to enjoy the world, and too much of the world to enjoy God.  Backsliders are the most despicable of all people.  Each side condemns and despises a backslider.  He is a deserter from both.  He first deserted the world to join the Church, and then went back and tried to join the world again.  Who can trust such a man?\" - Charles Finney"
quoteArray[17]="\"Believers who have the gospel keep mumbling it over and over to themselves. Meanwhile, millions who have never heard it once fall into the flames of eternal hell without ever hearing the salvation story.\" - K.P. Yohannan, founder of Gospel for Asia Bible Society"
quoteArray[18]="\"Can't you do just a little bit more?\" - J.G. Morrison pleading with Nazarenes in the 1930's Great Depression to support their missionaries"
quoteArray[19]="\"Christ was much in prayer, and will you neglect prayer or pray very rarely? Prayer is the ordinary exercise of every child of God. Why do you not pray? Are you so rich, that you need no supplies of grace; or so careless, that you desire them not? Oh, learn of Christ to be frequent, and fervent, and reverent in prayer! To be frequent, Christ prayed early and late, night and day. \"In the morning, rising up a great while before day, He went out and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed\" (Mark 1:35). Yes, \"He continued all night in prayer to God\" (Luke 6:12). Did Christ spend nights in prayer, and will you not spend hours in prayer? Why do you pray by fits, and not constantly? Why are you so seldom with God, pouring out your hearts to Him?\" = Andrew Gray"
quoteArray[20]="\"Christian character needs to be set on fire. Lack of heat makes more infidels than lack of faith. Not to be in fiery earnest about the things of heaven is not to be about them at all. The fiery souls are the ones that win in the heavenly fight. Nothing short of red hot can keep the glow of heaven in these chilly times. We must grasp the live coal and covet the consuming flame.\" - E.M. Bounds"
quoteArray[21]="\"Christianity is a transforming as well as a penetrating principle. It changes the tastes, gives activity to the inclinations, and, together with a new heart, produces a new life.\" - Hannah More"
quoteArray[22]="\"Church unity comes from corporate humility.\" - Leonard Ravenhill"
quoteArray[23]="\"Closet communion needs time for the revelation of God's presence.  It is vain to say, \"I have too much work to do to find time.\"  You must find time or forfeit blessing.  God knows how to save for you the time you sacredly keep for communion with Him.\" - A. T. Pierson"
quoteArray[24]="\"Could a mariner sit idle if he heard the drowning cry?  Could a doctor sit in comfort and just let his patients die?  Could a fireman sit idle, let men burn and give no hand?  Can you sit at ease in Zion with the world around you DAMNED?\" - Leonard Ravenhill"
quoteArray[25]="\"Cowards never won heaven. Do not claim that you are begotten of God and have His royal blood running in your veins unless you can prove your lineage by this heroic spirit; to dare to be holy in spite of men and devils.\" - William Gurnall (17th Century)"
quoteArray[26]="\"Do not be satisfied with as much Christianity as will only ease your conscience.\" - J. B. Stoney"
quoteArray[27]="\"Do not have your concert first, and then tune your instrument afterwards. Begin the day with the Word of God and prayer, and get first of all into harmony with Him.\" - James Hudson Taylor"
quoteArray[28]="\"Does it grieve you my friends, that the name of God is being taken in vain and desecrated? Does it grieve you that we are living in a godless age...But, we are living in such an age and the main reason we should be praying about revival is that we are anxious to see God's name vindicated and His glory manifested. We should be anxious to see something happening that will arrest the nations, all the peoples, and cause them to stop and to think again.\" - Martyn Lloyd-Jones" 
quoteArray[29]="\"During this year I lost one of my best parishioners. His death was very striking. He was one of the poorest of the poor. He had been disabled from all work by illness for years. Severely afflicted as he was, he bore his heavy burden with a patience I never saw equaled. I never went to him that I did not carry away from him more good than I left behind me. It was impossible to be in his company without feeling one's immeasurable inferiority to him in all the essentials of vital religion. The last time I saw him was under circumstances not easily forgotten. During the four years I had known him he was never entirely free from pain. From the crown of his head to the sole of his feet he was a mass of putrefying scrofulous sores-and yet his face always shone with an inward peace, which no amount of bodily anguish was able to disturb. In a crude upper chamber-with a flooring so rickety and full of holes as to be dangerous-with a roof so dismantled and rotten that the rain dropped through it stretched on a scanty pallet-lay this brave martyr-along with his only son, a youth of fifteen years-their hands clasped together, their countenances reflecting back on each other the mutual love that glowed within their hearts-fellow sufferers from the same hereditary malady-fellow believers in the same Jesus-rejoicing in their common sufferings-and dying almost together.  They were alone when I entered. I had not been there half an hour, when I heard a gulp, a gurgle, a gasp! Then I saw the son clutch the father's hand and heard him say, \Come, father-come quickly! I'm going-don't be long behind me!\" and then he sank back and breathed his last!  The father smiled, raised himself in bed, looked on his son, kissed him, clasped together his emaciated hands, lifted them high, and in tones of heavenly rapture, uttered these lines:  \"My sins are countless as the stars, Or sands upon the shore; But yet the mercies of my God Are infinitely more.  Manasseh, Paul, and Magdalene Were pardoned all by thee; I read it, and believe it, Lord, For You have pardoned me.\"  He then sank back, like his son, smiled, and expired!  \"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us.\" Romans 8:18  \"Let me die the death of the righteous, and may my end be like theirs!\"  Numbers 23:10 - (Extracted from the journal of Julian Young, 1840)"
quoteArray[30]="\"Every thing that a man leans upon but God, will be a dart that will certainly pierce his heart through and through. He, who leans only upon Christ, lives the highest, choicest, safest, and sweetest life.\" - Thomas Brooks"
quoteArray[31]="\"Everyone recognizes that Stephen was Spirit-filled when he was performing wonders. Yet, he was just as Spirit-filled when he was being stoned to death.\" - Leonard Ravenhill"
quoteArray[32]="\"Expect great things from God; attempt great things for God.\" - William Carey, who is called the father of modern missions"
quoteArray[33]="\"For some reason Christians always want to be passive while they want God to be powerful.\" - Steve Gray"
quoteArray[34]="\"Go for souls - and go for the worst.\" - William Booth"
quoteArray[35]="\"'Go ye' is as much a part of Christ's Gospel as 'Come unto Me.' You are not even a Christian until you have honestly faced your responsibility in regard to the carrying of the Gospel to the ends of the earth.\" - J. Stuart Holden"
quoteArray[36]="\"God has set a limit upon the defection of His Church; when the night is at its darkest the dawn is on the way. The inner history of revivals is characterized by a profound sense of dissatisfaction awaking in many hearts. A period of gloom sets in, a weariness and exhaustion invade the heart, the pleasures of the world no longer satisfy. Sick in soul, men turn with a sigh to God; dimly they awake to the consciousness that, in trading heavenly for earthly joys, they have encountered great loss; that in the decay of spiritual vision the world has lost its soul of loveliness. Slowly this aching grows, the heart of man begins to cry out for God, for spiritual certainties, for fresh visions. From a faint desire this multiplies as it widens, until it becomes a vast human need; until in its urgency it seems to beat with violence at the very gates of Heaven.\" - James Burns"
quoteArray[37]="\"God is pursuing with omnipotent passion a worldwide purpose of gathering joyful worshippers for Himself from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. He has an inexhaustible enthusiasm for the supremacy of His name among the nations. Therefore, let us bring our affections into line with His, and, for the sake of His name, let us renounce the quest for worldly comforts and join His global purpose.\" - John Piper"
quoteArray[38]="\"God isn't looking for people of great faith, but for individuals ready to follow Him.\" - Hudson Taylor"
quoteArray[39]="\"God uses men who are weak and feeble enough to lean on him.\" - Hudson Taylor, missionary to China"
quoteArray[40]="\"God's program for reviving His people is definite and clear. First Elijah \"repaired the altar of Jehovah that was thrown down.\" That is the place to begin. All the ruin that sin has wrought must be cleared away by confession. Things must be made right with God; restitution must be made where it is due. Unless this is done definitely and thoroughly, prayer for reviving is vain...Too many are praying today without repairing the altar by confession of sin, without digging a trench of separation from the world and without a surrender that is even unto death. No wonder such prayer is fruitless.\" -  Andrew Gih"
quoteArray[41]="\"God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply.\" - Hudson Taylor"
quoteArray[42]="\"Groanings which cannot be uttered are often prayers which cannot be refused.\" - C. H. Spurgeon"
quoteArray[43]="\"Growing Despite the Obstacles\"  \"A lifetime of observation, Bible reading and prayer has led to the conclusion that the only thing that can hinder a Christian's progress is the Christian himself. The true child of God can live and grow in circumstances that are wholly unfavorable to such life and growth. Outward circumstances can help little or none in a Christian's spiritual life. The whole philosophy of the spiritual way requires us to believe this. For this reason, it is always bad to blame anyone or anything for our spiritual or moral failures. God has so ordered things that His children may grow as successfully in the middle of a desert as in the most fruitful land. It is necessary that this should be so, seeing that the very world itself is a field where nothing good can grow except by some kind of miracle. The old hymn asks the rhetorical question, \"Is this vile world a friend to grace, to help me on to God?\" And the implied answer is no. Grace operates without the help of the world.\" - A.W. Tozer"
quoteArray[44]="\"Has it ever occurred to you that one hundred pianos all tuned to the same fork are automatically tuned to each other? They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshippers meeting together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become \"unity\" conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship. Social religion is perfected when private religion is purified. The body becomes stronger as its members become healthier. The whole church of God gains when the members that compose it begin to seek a better and a higher life.\" - A. W. Tozer"
quoteArray[45]="\"He gave Himself for our sins to rescue us from the present evil age.\ Galatians 1:4 The first effect of sovereign grace in its divine operation upon the heart of a child of God, is to separate him from the world by infusing into him a new spirit. There is little evidence that grace ever touched our hearts if it did not separate us from this ungodly world.Where there is not this divine work upon a sinner's conscience-where there is no communication of this new heart and this new spirit, no infusion of this holy life, no animating, quickening influence of the Spirit of God upon the soul-whatever a man's outward profession may be, he will ever be of a worldly spirit. A set of doctrines, however sound, merely received into the natural understanding-cannot divorce a man from that innate love of the world which is so deeply rooted in his very being. No mighty power has come upon his soul to revolutionize his every thought, cast his soul as if into a new mold-and by stamping upon it the mind and likeness of Christ to change him altogether. This worldly spirit may be . . .checked by circumstances,controlled by natural conscience, orinfluenced by the example of others; but a worldly spirit will ever peep out from the thickest disguise, and manifest itself, as occasion draws it forth, in every unregenerate man.\" - J. C. Philpot, \"Trying the Spirits\" 1865"
quoteArray[46]="\"He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain that which he cannot lose.\" - Jim Elliot, missionary martyr who lost his life in the late 1950's trying to reach the Auca Indians of Ecuador"
quoteArray[47]="\"Hell is larger today than it was yesterday, because many of us have failed to pray.\" - David Smithers"
quoteArray[48]="\"How can you pull down strongholds of Satan if you don't even have the strength to turn off your TV?\" - Leonard Ravenhill"
quoteArray[49]="\"How little chance the Holy Ghost has nowadays. The churches and missionary societies have so bound Him in red tape that they practically ask Him to sit in a corner while they do the work themselves.\" - C.T. Studd"
quoteArray[50]="\"How long will it take us to learn that our shortest route to the man next door is by way of God's throne?\" - A. T. Pierson"
quoteArray[51]="\"How tragic that we in this dark day have had our seeking done for us by our teachers. Everything is made to center upon the initial act of \accepting\" Christ (a term, incidentally, which is not found in the Bible) and we are not expected thereafter to crave any further revelation of God to our souls. We have been snared in the coils of a spurious logic which insists that if we have found Him, we need no more seek Him. In the midst of this great chill there are some, I rejoice to acknowledge, who will not be content with shallow logic. They will admit the force of the argument, and then turn away with tears to hunt some lonely place and pray. \"Oh God, show me Thy glory.\" They want to taste, to touch with their hearts, to see with their inner eyes the wonder that is God.\" - A.W. Tozer"
quoteArray[52]="\"I doubt that more than two percent of professing Christians in the United States are truly born again.\" - Leonard Ravenhill"
quoteArray[53]="\"I find that many men and women are troubled by the thought that they are too small and inconsequential in the scheme of things. But that is not our real trouble - we are actually too big and too complex, for God made us in His image and we are too big to be satisfied with what the world offers us!  ....Man is bored, because he is too big to be happy with that which sin is giving him. God has made him too great, his potential is too mighty.\" - A.W. Tozer"
quoteArray[54]="\"I have but one passion: It is He, it is He alone. The world is the field and the field is the world; and henceforth that country shall be my home where I can be most used in winning souls for Christ.\" - Count Nicolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf"
quoteArray[55]="\"I have hinted at ways in which the Spirit is quenched; it is sad to reflect that from one point of view the history of the Church is a long series of transgressions of this precept, checked by an equally long series of rebellions of the spirit. 'Where the Spirit of the Lord is,' the Apostle tells us elsewhere, 'there is liberty.' But liberty in a society has its dangers; it is, to a certain extent, at war with order; and the guardians of order are not apt to be too considerate of it. Hence it came to pass that at a very early period, and in the interests of good order, the freedom of the Spirit was suppressed in the Church. 'The gift of ruling,' it has been said, like Aaron's rod, seemed to swallow up the other gifts. The rulers of the Church became a class entirely apart from its \ordinary\" members, and all exercise of spiritual gifts for the building up of the Church was confined to them. Nay, the monstrous idea was originated, and taught as a dogma, that they alone were the custodians of the grace and truth of the gospel; only through them could men come into contact with the Holy Ghost. In plain English, the Spirit was quenched when Christians met for worship. One great extinguisher was placed over the flame that burned in the hearts of the brethren; it was not allowed to show itself; it must not disturb, by its eruption in praise or prayer or fiery exhortation, the decency and order of divine service. I say that was the condition to which Christian worship was reduced at a very early period; and it is unhappily the condition in which, for the most part, it exists at this moment.\" - James Denney"
quoteArray[56]="\"I have seen many men work without praying, though I have never seen any good come out of it; but I have never seen a man pray without working.\" -  James Hudson Taylor  Missionary to China 1800's"
quoteArray[57]="\"I would rather train twenty men to pray, than a thousand to preach; - A minister\'s highest mission ought to be to teach his people to pray.\"- H. MacGregor"
quoteArray[58]="\"If a Christian is not having tribulation in the world, there's something wrong!\" - Ravenhill"
quoteArray[59]="\"If a commission by an earthly king is considered a honor, how can a commission by a Heavenly King be considered a sacrifice?\" - David Livingstone"
quoteArray[60]="\"If God calls you to be a missionary, don't stoop to be a king.\" - Jordan Groom (variations of this also credited to G. K. Chesterson, Thomas Carlyle and Charles Haddon Spurgeon)"
quoteArray[61]="\"If God's love is for anybody anywhere, it's for everybody everywhere.\" - Edward Lawlor, Nazarene General Superintendent"
quoteArray[62]="\"If I am concerned that my flock be men and women of prayer, then, as their pastor, I must lead the way; apathy in me will produce apathy in them. The church prayer meeting ought to be the best attended in the week, and if it is, success will follow the ministry of the Word at the weekends. I would rather a thousand times set men and women to pray than teach them to preach.\" -  J. D. Drysdale"
quoteArray[63]="\"If I had 1,000 lives, I'd give them all for China\" - Hudson Taylor"
quoteArray[64]="\"If Jesus Christ be God and died for me, then no sacrifice can be too great for me to make for Him.\" - C.T. Studd"
quoteArray[65]="\"If missions languish, it is because the whole life of godliness is feeble. The command to go everywhere and preach to everybody is not obeyed, until the will is lost by self-surrender in the will of God. There is little right giving because there is little right living, and because of the lack of sympathetic contact with God in holiness of heart, there is a lack of effectual contact with him at the Throne of Grace. Living, praying, giving and going will always be found together, and a low standard in one means a general debility in the whole spiritual being.\" -  Arthur T. Pierson"
quoteArray[66]="\"If sinners be dammed, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one GO there UNWARNED and UNPRAYED for.\" - Charles Spurgeon" 
quoteArray[67]="\"If ten men are carrying a log - nine of them on the little end and one at the heavy end - and you want to help, which end will you lift on?\" - William Borden, as he reflected on the numbers of Christian workers in the U.S. as compared to those among unreached peoples in China"
quoteArray[68]="\"If the Church is 'in Christ,' she is involved in mission. Her whole existence then has a missionary character. Her conduct as well as her words will convince the unbelievers and put their ignorance and stupidity to silence.\" - David Bosch"
quoteArray[69]="\"If the Great Commission is true, our plans are not too big; they are too small.\" - Pat Morley"
quoteArray[70]="\"If we do not meet Jesus at His \mercy-seat\" we will most assuredly meet Him at His \"judgment-seat\". -  Pastor Derek Melton"
quoteArray[71]="\"If you found a cure for cancer, wouldn't it be inconceivable to hide it from the rest of mankind? How much more inconceivable to keep silent the cure from the eternal wages of death.\" - Dave Davidson"
quoteArray[72]="\"If you have to be convinced to give in to God, you are sicker than you think.\" - Steve Gray"
quoteArray[73]="\"If you take missions out of the Bible, you won't have anything left but the covers.\" - Nina Gunter"
quoteArray[74]="\"In all subsequent ages the period of maximum spiritual power has been characterized by the minimum of machinery. Every genuine reformation in the history of God's Church has witnessed the discarding of a vast amount of complicated mechanism invented in a corrupt period. Did not the sixteenth century reformations in Germany and England break into fragments much of the old Roman Catholic machinery? Yet did not these very reformations fail to realize the fullest expectations because they retained too much of the worn-out and worthless machinery of Rome? Have not elaborate organizations, stately ecclesiastical forms, and imposing cathedrals always tended to formalism and feebleness of spiritual power? Have not baptismal regeneration, sacramentalism, ritualism, and churchism largely displaced the simple, sublime dependence of men on the power of God in the Holy Ghost? Machinery is not power, but the means through which power accomplishes results. In mechanics it is estimated (as the writer believes) that one third of the power is consumed or lost by friction. To multiply machinery without additional power is, therefore, to multiply weakness. Is not the pronounced tendency to multiply agencies rather a confession of conscious lack of power? When they are on their knees, men do not feel the need of more machinery, but of more divine strength. The heart and conscience, in the presence of God, are safer guides to the sources of power and efficiency than the intellect in the study.\ - J.O. Peck"
quoteArray[75]="\"In no other way can the believer become as fully involved with God's work, especially the work of world evangelism, as in intercessory prayer.\" - Dick Eastman, president of Every Home for Christ (formerly World Literature Crusade)"
quoteArray[76]="\"In our lifetime, wouldn't it be sad if we spent more time washing dishes or swatting flies or mowing the yard or watching television than praying for world missions?\" - Dave Davidson"
quoteArray[77]="\"In the Irish Revival of 1859, people became so weak that they could not get back to their homes. Men and women would fall by the wayside and would be found hours later pleading with God to save their souls. They felt that they were slipping into hell and that nothing else in life mattered but to get right with God... To them eternity meant everything. Nothing else was of any consequence. They felt that if God did not have mercy on them and save them, they were doomed for all time to come.\" - Oswald J. Smith"
quoteArray[78]="\"In the vast plain to the north I have sometimes seen, in the morning sun, the smoke of a thousand villages where no missionary has ever been.\" - Robert Moffat, who inspired David Livingstone"
quoteArray[79]="\"Intercessory prayer is the Christian's most effective weapon. Nothing can withstand it's power. It will do things when all else has failed. And the marvel is that we turn to other agencies in order to accomplish what only prayer can bring to pass. God has placed this mighty weapon in our hands, and He expects us to use it. How disappointed He must be when we lay it a side and substitute natural means for supernatural work.\" - Oswald J. Smith"
quoteArray[80]="\"Is the Christianity that we are practicing passive or forceful?  The Kingdom of Heaven will never be advanced by a passive Christianity.  We must alter our perception of Christianity if we are ever to be used by God in His Kingdom\". - Pastor Derek Melton Pryor Creek Community Church"
quoteArray[81]="\"Is the Gospel really dynamite, or does it need all sorts of human institutions and money? Much of the work we have done in the name of Jesus Christ has been, not to perform miracles of the Holy Ghost, but miracles of gold.\" - David Griffin"
quoteArray[82]="\"It amazes me how uncommitted the members of the body of Christ are towards each other.  We divorce each other at the first onset of trouble! How can we claim to be His body and continue to hold fast to these worldly ideologies?\" - Pastor Derek Melton Pryor Creek Community Church"
quoteArray[83]="\"It can hardly be doubted that there are many Spirit-filled persons, living pure devoted lives, who nevertheless exercise little or no power in the direction of revival. They live in beautiful isolation, doing nothing to bring down \showers of blessing\" upon the larger group. Such as these have given up to the spirit of the times and have ceased to expect revival tides.\" - A.W. Tozer"
quoteArray[84]="\"It is a costly and a suffering thing to come up against the religious system that has \ settled down \" here. It is far more costly than coming up against the naked world itself. The religious system can be more ruthless and cruel and bitter; it can be actuated by all those mean things, contemptible things, prejudices and suspicions things that you will not even find in decent people in the world. It is costly to go on to the heavenlies, it is painful; but it is the way of the pioneer, and it has to be settled that that is how it is.\" -  T. Austin Sparks"
quoteArray[85]="\"It is forbidden to pour cold water on such enthusiasm when it breaks forth in words of fire. That is the meaning of 'Quench not the Spirit'. The commandment presupposes that the Spirit can be quenched. Cold looks, contemptuous words, silence, studied disregard, go a long way to quench it. So does unsympathetic criticism. Everyone knows that a fire smokes most when it is newly kindled; but the way to get rid of the smoke is not to pour cold water on the fire, but to let it burn itself clear. When you meet with a disciple whose zeal burns like fire, very likely the smoke hurts your eyes; but the smoke will soon pass by; and it may well be tolerated in the meantime for the sake of heat. For this apostolic precept takes for granted that fervor of spirit, a Christian enthusiasm for what is good, is the best thing in the world. It may be untaught and inexperienced; it may have all its mistakes to make; it may be wonderfully blind to the limitations which the stern necessities of life put upon the generous hopes of man: but it is of God; it is expansive; it is contagious; it is worth more as a spiritual force than all the wisdom in the world.\ - James Denney"
quoteArray[86]="\"It is my conviction that we are never going to have revival until God has brought the church of Jesus Christ to the point of desperation. As long as Christians people can trust religious organization, material wealth, popular preaching, shallow evangelistic crusades and promotion drives, there will never be revival. But when confidence in the flesh is smashed, and the church comes to the realization of her desperate wretchedness, blindness and nakedness before God, then and only then will God bread in.\" - Stephen Olford"
quoteArray[87]="\"It is natural to man, from his earliest infancy, to cry for relief when in danger or distress, if he supposes that any one able to relieve him is within hearing of his cries. Every man then who feels his own dependence upon God, and his need of blessings which God only can bestow, will pray to Him. He will feel that prayer is not only his duty, but his highest privilege. The man then who refuses or neglects to pray, who regards prayer not as a privilege, but as a wearisome and needless task practically says in the most unequivocal manner, I am not dependent on God; I want nothing that He can give; and therefore I will not come to Him, nor ask anything from His hand. I will not ask Him to crown my work with success, for I am able, and determined, to be the architect of my own future. I will not ask Him to instruct or guide me, for I am competent to be my own instructor and guide. I will not ask Him to strengthen and support me, for I am strong in the vigor and resources of my own mind. I will not request His protection, for I am able to protect myself. I will not implore His pardoning mercy nor His sanctifying grace for I have need of neither the one nor the other. I will not ask His presence and aid in the hour of death. For I can meet and grapple, unsupported, with the king of terrors, and enter, undaunted and alone, any unknown world into which He may usher me. Such is the language of all who neglect prayer.\ - Edward Payson (Praying Payson)"

quoteArray[92]="\"Jesus, who so often says \Whoever loves Me . . .\"-\"Do you love Me?\" is concerned about our LOVE! He is concerned about a special kind of love. It is the love which is shadowed in the relationship between a bride and her bridegroom; that is, it is an exclusive love, a love which places the beloved, the bridegroom, above all other loves, in the first place. As a Bridegroom, Jesus has a claim to \"first love\". He who has loved us so much wants to possess us completely, with everything we are and have. Jesus gave Himself wholly and completely for us. Now His love is yearning for us to surrender ourselves and everything that we are to Him, so that He can really be our \"first love\". So long as our love for Him is a divided love, so long as our heart is bound to family, possessions, or the like, He will not count our love to be genuine. Divided love is of so little value to Him that He will not enter into a bond of love with such a soul, for this bond presupposes a full mutual love. Because our love is so precious to Jesus, because He yearns for our love, He waits for our uncompromising commitment.\" - Basilea Schlink"

Evangelism reports from around the world seem to substantiate this claim. Manifestations of supernatural gifts, signs and wonders are commonplace in a large percentage of churches. They are widely proclaimed as being from the Lord and proof that God is well pleased with the Church today. Ministries are expanding into mass media evangelism which spans the globe. Evangelistic and charismatic groups are experiencing tremendous numerical growth as new buildings can be seen springing up and spreading out in almost every direction. All of these things would seem to refute the remote possibility that we are now living in the time of the great falling away of the Church: a falling away from true faith and the life-style which God demands of His people and which is taught in scripture.\" - Milton Green"

Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there.

He said that he and his brethren were more than grateful to those who brought them the word of life and the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, but yet, he said, there was one thing more which missionaries should teach their spiritual children. This new thing was to pray with authority, so that they might know how to take their stand in faith before the throne and rebuke the forces of evil, holding steady and firm, and gain the victory over them. That same need is tremendously evident today in the experiences of all that are seeking to walk closely with the Lord, and to stand for Him in the face of increasing opposition.

quoteArray[139]="\"The Church always fails at the point of self-confidence. When the Church is run on the same lines as a circus, there may be crowds, but there is no Shekinah. That is why prayer is the test of faith and the secret of power. The Spirit of God travails in the prayer-life of the soul. Miracles are the direct work of His power, and without miracles the Church cannot live. The carnal can argue, but it is the Spirit of God that convicts. Education can civilize, but it is being born of the Spirit that saves. The energy of the flesh can run bazaars, organize amusements, and raise millions; but it is the presence of the Holy Spirit that makes a Temple of the Living God. The root-trouble of the present distress is that the Church has more faith in the world and in the flesh than in the Holy Ghost, and things will get no better till we get back to His realized presence and power. The breath of the four winds would turn death into life and dry bones into mighty armies, but it only comes by PRAYER!\" - E.M. Bounds"

quoteArray[146]="\"The early church knew the secret of overcoming through this glorious weapon of prayer. As wave after wave of satanic opposition broke over them, they conquered on their knees. They went forward on their knees. They lived at the Throne. The need in the Church today is to rediscover the secret of power to wrestle with god like Paul and the spirit to agonize in prayer like Epaphras. Then, through our union with Christ on the Cross, prayer will be filled with the Spirit of conquest through which we will be able to vanquish the foe and shout the victory over him. It is not enough that we \resist the devil\", who seeks to deceive and to divide the saints of the Lord, thus bringing impotence upon a sub-normal church.

quoteArray[152]="\"The Holy Spirit is the Representative of Christ in the Church. The local church should always recognize the sovereignty of the Spirit. By this we mean that He can do as He pleases, and that He will not always choose to do things in exactly the same way, though He will never act contrary to the Word. The symbols of the Spirit used in the Scriptures -fire, oil, water, wind -speak of uncontrollable and unpredictable behavior. Therefore the wise Christian will be flexible in order to allow the Holy Spirit this divine prerogative. It was so in the early church, but soon people became uneasy with meetings that were \free and social, with the minimum of form.\" Thus controls were added and formalism and ritualism took over. The Holy Spirit was quenched, and the church lost its power.\" - James Denney"
quoteArray[153]="\"The human condition frightens us. We are not willing to face the charge of fanaticism. The love of reputation holds us. What a struggle Wesley had to shed the cultural superiority and clinging formalism of his churchmanship! Revivalism would imperil his reputation. There was a painful conflict before he \consented to become more vile.\" It is this process of becoming vile in the eyes of the world which keeps many from the Baptism of Fire. It is only as we are willing to lose our reputation at the impulse of consuming love, that the Spirit is granted, and as that great warrior of the Spirit, C. T. Studd said,\" A lost reputation is the best degree for Christ's service. To raise living churches of souls among the destitute, to capture men from the devil's clutches, to snatch them from the jaws of hell, to enlist and train them for Jesus, to make them into an almighty army for God-this can only be accomplished by red-hot, unconventional, unfettered Holy Ghost religion, by reckless sacrifice and heroism in the foremost trenches. It is the hot, free heart, and not the balanced head, that knocks the devil out.\" A man has not begun to be worthy of the Spirit until he is able to say with Whitfield,\" Let my name rot if only Christ be honored.\" The abandonment of love in the cause of redemption is the authentic mark of the Spirit-filled life, but it is costly.\" - Joe Brice"

Or, to quote the precise words given by him in another paragraph: \The trend of modern Protestantism is toward a growing feebleness of grasp upon the Holy Spirit as a reality and a practical disuse of this source of spiritual life and power. What is needed on the part of every Christian is \"a mind to work,\" and then a long audience with God until they receive power from on high. In seeking revivals many seek new machinery. But the need is more divine power. If all the time and thought that are spent in planning new machinery were devoted wholly to consecration, believing prayer, and direct work for the conversion of men, one million souls would be yearly added, may God send us more power! \"Ye receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you.\" Our methods and machinery are useless until we are endued with might from on high. All grace is with our Christ for His people. We may have it for the seeking. It is a gift. All our arrangements and methods can produce but a spurious revival without this divine bestowment. One breath of the Holy Ghost will make a revival genuine! Oh, for power from on high!\" - J.O. Peck"

Theoretically the pulpit is supposed to bombard all sin of every variety and species, but, alas, it is usually too cowardly. The Spirit-filled man fears no one. It is not that ministers are unaware of the sins within the Church, but they dare not speak openly against them. He knows only too well that if he dares assert his manhood and exercises the prerogative of Christ's minister, the consequences could be swift and terrible, the loss of the approval of men, and maybe even his pastorate.

quoteArray[180]="\"There is no question that God works, often powerfully, in the old structures. But it is inevitable that those very structures put serious limitations on His working. It is all too easy for the ground gained to be lost, for the situation to revert, and for the whole process to need repeating within a short space of time. Take the 1950, Lewis Awakening. Though confined to certain Presbyterian churches in the Outer Hebrides, this was a powerful movement of the Spirit that deeply affected those communities at the time. Many found faith in Christ, and some of these are now in full-time service. But the fact remains that in less than a decade you could visit those very churches where God had worked so powerfully and never suspect that they had ever tasted revival. Without a change of structure it is virtually Impossible to conserve the fruits of revival.\" - Arthur Wallis"

In God's Holy Name let us arise and build! \The God of Heaven, He will fight for us,\" as we for Him. We will not build on the sand, but on the bedrock of the sayings of Christ, and the gates and minions of hell shall not prevail against us. Should such men as we fear? Before the whole world, aye, before the sleepy, lukewarm, faithless, namby-pamby Christian world, we will dare to trust our God; we will venture our all for Him; we will live, and we will die for Him, and we will do it with His joy unspeakable singing aloud in our hearts. We will a thousand times sooner die trusting only in our God, than live trusting in man. And when we come to this position, the battle is already won, and the end of the glorious campaign in sight. We will have the real Holiness of God, not the sickly stuff of talk and dainty words and pretty thoughts; we will have a Masculine Holiness, one of daring faith and works for Jesus Christ.\" - C.T. Studd"
quoteArray[192]="\"Too many people have the kind of religion that says it and sings it but never does it. We need to either change what we sing or change who we are.\" - Pastor Steve Gray"
quoteArray[193]="\"True prayer will achieve just as much as it costs us.\" - Samuel M. Zwemer"
quoteArray[194]="\"Unction comes to the preacher, not in the study, but in the closet. It is heaven's distillation in answer to prayer. It is the sweetest exhalation of the Holy Spirit. It impregnates softens, cuts and soothes. It carries the Word like dynamite, like salt, like sugar; makes the hearer a culprit or a saint, makes him weep like a child and live like a giant; opens his heart and his purse as gently, yet as strongly as the spring opens the leaves.\" - E.M. Bounds"
quoteArray[195]="\"Unite with you in prayer, one or more of the most devout disciples, especially in critical cases. One great advantage is that selfishness is apt to color our supplications, and when others are united with us, they are less affected by motives that may unduly influence us.\" - A.T. Pierson"
quoteArray[196]="\"We are debtors to every man to give him the gospel in the same measure in which we have received it.\" - P.F. Bresee, founder of the Church of the Nazarene"
quoteArray[197]="\"We are not going to get revival in the streets and alleyways of this nation until we get revival in the pews and aisles of our congregations.\" - Steve Gray"
quoteArray[198]="\"We can reach our world, if we will. The greatest lack today is not people or funds. The greatest need is prayer.\" - Wesley Duewel, head of OMS International"
quoteArray[199]="\"We have all eternity to tell of victories won for Christ, but we have only a few hours before sunset to win them!\" - Unknown Author"
quoteArray[200]="\"We have to be alone with God in finding personal salvation. Others may be used as instruments in bringing conviction, light, help in various ways; but there comes a crisis, both in the work of regeneration and of sanctification, in which the soul must be detached from others, and deal only with God. How utterly impertinent are human words in such a crisis!\" - G.D. Watson"
quoteArray[201]="\"We must be global Christians with a global vision because our God is a global God.\" - John Stott"
quoteArray[202]="\"We need a baptism of clear seeing.  We desperately need seers who can see through the mist-Christian leaders with prophetic vision.  Unless they come soon it will be too late for this generation.  And if they do come we will no doubt crucify a few of them in the name of our worldly orthodoxy.\" - A.W. Tozer"
quoteArray[203]="\"We need a Heaven-sent revival, a burning fire from on high,A purifying passion and a forsaking of our stubborn pride.  We need a vision of eternity,of Hell and the Judgment Day, A fervent love for our Savior,that will gladly serve and obey. We need a Pentecostal purging and a breaking deep within, A vision of God Almighty and a river of tears for our nations sin.<br>We need a Heaven-sent revival, a burning fire set ablaze.  Yet, we'll never see such glory, until the Church begins to pray.\" - David Smithers"
quoteArray[204]="\"We shall go crusading for Christ. We have the men, the means, and the ways-steam and electricity and iron have leveled the lands and bridged the seas. The doors of the world have opened wide for us by our God. We pray and preach; we bow the knee; we receive; we administer the Holy Communion of the Passion of Christ; we recite the Creed triumphantly; we are optimists everyone; we shout 'Onward Christian soldiers, marching on to war,' and then? . . . and then? . . . we whisper, 'I pray Thee have me excused!!!' What glorious humbugs we are!\" - C.T. Studd"
quoteArray[205]="\"We talk of the Second Coming; half the world has never heard of the first.\" - Oswald J. Smith"
quoteArray[206]="\"What's your dream and to what corner of the missions world will it take you?\" - Eleanor Roat, missions mobilizer"
quoteArray[207]="\"When James Calvert went out as a missionary to the cannibals of the Fiji Islands, the ship captain tried to turn him back, saying, You will lose your life and the lives of those with you if you go among such savages.\" To that, Calvert replied, \"We died before we came here."
quoteArray[208]="\"When men in the streets are afraid to open their mouths and utter godless words lest the judgments of God should fall; when sinners, overawed by the Presence of God tremble in the streets and cry for mercy; when, without special meetings and sensational advertising, the Holy Ghost sweeps across cities and towns in Supernatural Power and holds men in the grip of terrifying Conviction; when \every shop becomes a pulpit; every heart an altar; every home a sanctuary\" and people walk softly before God, this is Revival!\" - Owen Murphy"
quoteArray[209]="\"When young people first come out, how this one or that one makes an impression by ability, zeal or personality. It is easy to imagine such and such a one is going to make a great success. But it is wiser to wait and see. Often the unnoticed and less gifted ones by sheer diligence and devotion become the successes.\" - D. E. Hoste"
quoteArray[210]="\"Whenever you touch reality in the spiritual realm, you touch things that are so vital that any normal, healthy person cannot fail to be moved. If we have today such ministry in our churches that men and women cannot be moved, there is something wrong with our preaching.\" - Donald Gee"
quoteArray[211]="\"Where are the Samuels who have heard the voice of God, who have been awakened by the Holy Spirit and have received a revelation of soon-coming judgments upon a backslidden Church? Why aren't all preachers of the Gospel grieving over the sinful condition of God's house? Why aren't all pastors and evangelists crying out as watchmen on the wall? Scripture says that Samuel was given a vision in which God pronounced the end of a backslidden religious structure, and \Samuel told [Eli] everything, and hid nothing from him\" (1 Samuel 3:18). I ask you, pastor: Are you telling it all? Are you holding back hiding the truth, afraid of offending your people?\" - David Wilkerson"
quoteArray[212]="\"While women weep, as they do now, I'll fight; while children go hungry, as they do now I'll fight; while men go to prison, in and out, in and out, as they do now, I'll fight; while there is a drunkard left, while there is a poor lost girl upon the streets, while there remains one dark soul without the light of God, I'll fight - I'll fight to the very end!\" - William Booth"
quoteArray[213]="\"Why do we expect to be better treated in this world than Jesus was?\" - Leonard Ravenhill"
quoteArray[214]="\"World missions was on God's mind from the beginning.\" - Dave Davidson"
quoteArray[215]="\"Yes, there must be the point of desperation but there must also be the point of intercession. Oh, that God would bring us to this place of intercession! We cannot think or talk, let alone taste of revival, without intercessory prayer. Indeed, the reason for an unrevived church in the last analysis is the sin of prayerlessness. Certainly there are individuals who are praying for revival, and God is graciously meeting them at the point of their need, but where are the prayer groups, where are the companies of intercessors, where are the churches united in an agonizing that God would rend the heavens and come down and cause the mountains of hindrance and sin and unbelief to flow before His presence? Yes, there is only one thing that will save us in this hour of desperation and that is prayer.\" - Stephen Olford"
quoteArray[216]="\"Yes, when? When indeed shall we see a real \Church Militant here upon the earth?\" \"Christ's call is to feed the hungry, not the full; to save the lost, not the stiff-necked; not to call the scoffers, but sinners to repentance; not to build and furnish comfortable chapels, churches, and cathedrals at home in which to rock Christian professors to sleep by means of clever essays, stereotyped prayers and artistic musical performances, but to raise living churches of souls among the destitute, to capture men from the devil's clutches and snatch them from the very jaws of hell, to enlist and train them for Jesus, and make them into an Almighty Army of God. But this can only be accomplished by a red-hot, unconventional, unfettered Holy Ghost religion, where neither Church nor State, neither man nor traditions are worshipped or preached, but only Christ and Him crucified. Not to confess Christ by fancy collars, church steeples or rich embroidered altar-cloths, but by reckless sacrifice and herois m in the foremos trenches . . .\" - C.T. Studd"
quoteArray[217]="\"You can give without loving. But you cannot love without giving.\" - Amy Carmichael, missionary to India"
quoteArray[218]="\"You can't develop character by reading books. You develop it from conflict.\" - Leonard Ravenhill"
quoteArray[219]="\"You may be sure that there is no truer index of what you are spiritually than is found in what you habitually desire and yearn for, and this will naturally find expression in your secret prayer habit.\" - A.T. Pierson"
