In doing God's work, there is no substitute for praying. The men of prayer cannot be displaced with other kinds of men.

Men of prayer, before anything else, are indispensable to the furtherance of the kingdom of God on earth. No other sort will fit in the scheme or do the deed. Men, great and influential in other things but small in prayer, cannot do the work Almighty God has set out for His Church to do in this, His world.

We are feeble, weak and impoverished because of our failure to pray. God is restrained in doing because we are restrained by reason of our non-praying. All failures in securing heaven are traceable to lack of prayer or misdirected petition.

If prayer puts God to work on earth, then, by the same token, prayerlessness rules God out of the world's affairs and prevents Him from working.

The preachers who gain mighty results for God are the men who have prevailed in their pleadings with God ere venturing to plead with men.

The more praying there is in the world, the better the world will be, the mightier the forces against evil everywhere.
