From the book Prevailing Prayer.
“The greatest need of the modern church is a spiritual revival, and this will come only in answer to prayer. Every revival since Pentecost has been produced by a few praying saints who were persistent in their requests. The refreshing showers of the early rain came in answer to the continual prayers of a small group. It is not necessary to wait for a mas movement in the church.
One righteous person can move the arm of God. The power that shook the world in the great Reformation came from the secret place of prayer. From the same source must come the power that will complete the Reformation and bring a people back to the faith and practice of Christ and the apostles.” The Privilege of Prayer, pg. 12
Food for Thought Sons and Daughters of God Pg. 302 If received in faith, the trial that seems so bitter and hard to bear will prove a blessing…. How many there are who would never have known Jesus had not sorrow led them to seek comfort in Him!
Gems from Prayer Meeting Holy Spirit and Prayer
“We must not only pray in Christ’s name, but by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. This explains what is meant when it is said that the Spirit ‘maketh intercession for us, with groanings which cannot be uttered.’ Romans 8:26. Such prayer God delights to answer. When with earnestness and intensity we breathe a prayer in the name of Christ, there is in that very intensity a pledge from God that He is about to answer our prayer exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.” Ephesians 3:20 Christ’s Object Lessons, pg. 147
“Christ our Mediator, and the Holy Spirit are constantly interceding in man’s behalf, but the Spirit pleads not for us as Christ, who presents His blood, shed from the foundation of the world; the Spirit works upon our hearts, drawing out prayers and penitence, praise and thanksgiving. The gratitude which flows from our lips is the result of the Spirit’s strikijg the cords of the soul in holy memories, awakeing the music of the heart.” 1 Selected Messages, pg. 344
“I have returned from our season of prayer. The Spirit of intercession came upon me, and I was drawn out in most earnest prayer for souls at Battle Creek. I know their peril. The Holy Spirit has in a special manner moved me to send up my petitions in their behalf.” Testimonies to Ministers, pg. 63

Food for Thought
Christ our Righteousness pg. 87
September 3, 1889
“There is not one in one hundred who understands for himself the Bible truths on this subject (Justification by Faith) that is so necessary to our present and eternal welfare.”
Gems from Prayer Meeting Grace “Grace is a synonym for the Holy Spirit in many Bible references, and also in the writings of Ellen White. Hebrews 10:29 and Zechariah 12:10 call the Holy Spirit the “Spirit of grace.” In Romans 6:14-15 it says we are under grace.
The Holy Spirit puts forth its highest energies to work in heart and mind. The grace of God enlarges and multiplies their faculties, and every perfection of the divine nature comes to their assistance in the work of saving souls.” Desire of Ages pg. 827
Some seem to feel that they must be on probation, and must prove to the Lord that they are reformed, before they can claim His blessing. But they may claim the blessing of God even now.
They must have His grace, the Spirit of Christ, to help their infirmities, or they cannot resist evil. Jesus loves to have us come to Him just as we are, sinful, helpless, dependent. We may come with all our weakness, our folly, our sinfulness, and fall at His feet in penitence. It is His glory to encircle us in the arms of His love and to bind up our wounds, to cleanse us from all impurity.” Steps to Christ, pg. 51-52
