Charles Spurgeon
Christian, Prayer, Honor
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (2008). “Devotional Classics of C. H. Spurgeon”, p.2, Sovereign Grace Publishers,

The condition of the church may be very accurately gauged by its prayer meetings. So is the prayer meeting a grace-ometer, and from it we may judge of the amount of divine working among a people. If God be near a church, it must pray. And if He be not there, one of the first tokens of His absence will be slothfulness in prayer.

Charles Spurgeon
Prayer, Judging, People

He that knows how to overcome the Lord in prayer, has heaven and earth at his disposal.

Charles Spurgeon
Prayer, Heaven, Overcoming
"The Complete Works of C. H. Spurgeon, Volume 14: Sermons 788 to 847".

Beware, I pray thee, of presuming that thou art saved. If thy heart be renewed, if thou shalt hate the things that thou didst once love, and love the things that thou didst once hate; if thou hast really repented; if there be a thorough change of mind in thee; if thou be born again, then hast thou reason to rejoice: but if there be no vital change, no inward godliness; if there be no love to God, no prayer, no work of the Holy Spirit, then thy saying "I am saved" is but thine own assertion, and it may delude, but it will not deliver thee.

Charles Spurgeon

Let your thoughts be psalms, your prayers incense, and your breath praise.

If God be near a church, it must pray. And if he be not there, one of the first tokens of his absence will be a slothfulness in prayer.

Prayer is the best response to hatred.

Charles Spurgeon
Prayer, Hatred, Response

We shall never find happiness by looking at our prayers, our doings, or our feelings; it is what Jesus is, not what we are, that gives rest to the soul.

Prayers are heard in heaven in proportion to our faith. Little faith gets very great mercies, but great faith still greater.

Prayerless souls are Christless souls, Christless souls are Graceless souls and Graceless souls shall soon be damned souls. See your peril, you that neglect altogether the blessed privilege of prayer! You are in the bonds of iniquity, you are in the gall of bitterness. God deliver you, for Hisname's sake!

Charles Spurgeon
Prayer, Blessed, Soul

There is no other place where the heart should be so free as before the mercy seat. There, you can talk out your very soul, for that is the best prayer that you can present. Do not ask for what some tell you that you should ask for, but for that which you feel the need of, that which the Holy Spirit has made you to hunger and to thirst for, you ask for that.

Charles Spurgeon
Prayer, Heart, Soul

Neglect of private prayer is the locust which devours the strength of the church.

Oh! yes, (the prayer meeting) is the place to meet with the Holy Ghost, and this is the way to get His mighty power. If we would have Him, we must meet in greater numbers; we must pray with greater fervency, we must watch with greater earnestness, and believe with firmer steadfastness. The prayer meeting...is the appointed place for the reception of power.

Charles Spurgeon
Prayer, Believe, Numbers

All our perils are nothing, so long as we have prayer.

Charles Spurgeon
Prayer, Long, Peril
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (1855). “Sermons Delivered in Exeter Hall, Strand, During the Enlargement of New Park Street Chapel, Southmark”, p.204

...the power of prayer can never be overrated. They who cannot serve God by preaching need not regret. If a man can but pray he can do anything. He who knows how to overcome with God in prayer has Heaven and earth at his disposal.

Charles Spurgeon
Prayer, Regret, Godly

It is the habit of faith, when she is praying, to use pleas. Mere prayer sayers, who do not pray at all, forget to argue with God; but those who prevail bring forth their reasons and their strong arguments

Charles Spurgeon
Strong, Prayer, Use
Charles Haddon Spurgeon (18??). “Spurgeon's Sermons: Being Twelve of the Most Memorable Sermons Ever Delivered”

Whether we like it or not, asking is the rule of the Kingdom. If you may have everything by asking in His Name, and nothing without asking, I beg you to see how absolutely vital prayer is.
