Throughout History, the Lord has anointed great men and women to be teachers and preachers, with hearts of fire and messages of truth to match. Here we share some encouraging words about prayer from Godly leaders of our Church history.
"
Come near to the holy men and women of the past and you will soon feel the heat of their desire after God. They mourned for Him, they prayed and wrestled and sought for Him day and night, in season and out, and when they had found Him the finding was all the sweeter for the long seeking." -A. W. Tozer, from The Pursuit of God
To be much for God, we must be much with God. Jesus, that lone figure in the wilderness, knew strong crying, along with tears. Can one be moved with compassion and not know tears? Jeremiah was a sobbing saint. Jesus wept. So did Paul. So did John....Though there are some tearful intercessors behind the scenes, I grant you that to our modern Christianity, praying is foreign. -Leonard Ravenhill
