One of his rich sentences was, for example: “Prayer is our most important assistant as long as the sermon is still on the anvil. When others, such as Esau, go hunting after a meal, we will find a delicious meal at home through prayer and, like Jacob, but with full truth, say, “The Lord has given it to me.” – Point out our prayerless sermons to turn out to be hay and stubble. A mighty worshiper is a fiery wall around his homeland. The prayers of a Knox fear his enemies more than the hostile armies. – We should not only, we have to pray more. The secret of all our success in the ministry is prayer. ”
