^ "Revival is restoring the years the locusts have
eaten." – James A. Stewart
^ "Revival is the heathen saying, "The Lord hath
done great things for them" (Psa. 126:2). – James A. Stewart
^ "The energies of the universe, nay, of God Himself,
are at the disposal of those who pray - to the man who stirreth up himself to
take hold of God." … Samuel Zwemer
^ "There is absolutely no
substitute for this secret communion with God. The public Church services, or
even the family altar, cannot take the place of the 'closet' prayer. We must
deliberately seek to meet with God absolutely alone, and to secure such
aloneness with God we are bidden to 'enter into thy closet.'
God absolutely
insists on this 'closet'-communion with Himself. One reason, no doubt, that He
demands it, is to test our sincerity. There is no test for the soul like
solitude. Do you shrink from solitude? Perhaps the cause for your neglect of
the 'closet' is a guilty conscience? You are afraid to enter into the solitude.
You know that however cheerful you appear to be you are not really happy. You
surround yourself with company lest, being alone, truth should invade your
delusion…" – Gordon Cove
