復興是最高層次的基督教
箴言 10:24 …義人所渴慕的必蒙應允。 (KJV direct)
箴言 10:24 …義人所願的必蒙應允。

詩篇 27:4 有一件事，我曾求耶和華(我曾向耶和華渴慕)，我仍要尋求，就是一生一世住在耶和華的殿中，瞻仰他的榮美，在他的殿裡求問。
Psalm 27:4 One thing have I desired of the Lord, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the Lord, and to enquire in his temple.
詩篇 37:4 又要以耶和華為樂，他就將你心裡所求的(所渴慕的)賜給你。

詩篇 38:9 主啊，我的心願(渴慕)都在你面前，我的嘆息不向你隱瞞。

「神只會把最好的東西給那些懂得珍惜和寶貴的人，而你必須藉著堅持渴慕、堅持尋求來表明你有珍惜和寶貴神的最好。」 －Ernest Baker
“God’s best things can only be given to those who show appreciation of their value by persistent desire and effort to obtain them.” －Ernest Baker
路加福音 11:13 「你們雖然不好，尚且知道拿好東西給兒女，何況天父，豈不更將聖靈給求他的人嗎？」
「渴慕神的人停止渴慕罪，渴慕罪的人停止渴慕神。」－馬強盛／顏美娟夫婦
“A man that hungers for God will stop hungering for sin.
A man that hungers for sin will stop hungering for God” －Johnson and Pearl
「屬世的渴慕（愛世界）會減少基督徒屬靈的渴慕；屬靈的渴慕會減少基督徒對屬世的渴慕。因此，每天早上你都可以憑自由意志選擇轉向屬靈的事情。如此，你就可以增加你對神和屬靈的渴慕。」－馬強盛／顏美娟夫婦
“Worldly desires will decrease a Christian’s spiritual desire, and spiritual desires will decrease a Christian’s worldly desires. So, every morning increase your spiritual desire for God and spiritual things by using your free will and turning to spiritual things.” －Johnson and Pearl
「雖然缺乏規律和斷斷續續的禱告總比沒有禱告來得好，但這樣的人只是暫時渴慕，所以神不會垂聽這樣的禱告。你的禱告必須顯明你的內心有堅持到底的渴慕，這才是神會垂聽的禱告。」 －Ernest Baker
“The spasmodic prayers that represent flitting desires, though they are good, He does not answer. The prayers, which reveal the settled longing of the heart are the prayers He heeds.” －Ernest Baker
「當我們遇到特殊的困難時，這會挑戰神的能力和我們信心。當困難和需要越大時，就越有更多的復興的理由。但我們必須要有耐心。」 －Ernest Baker
“The special difficulties are a challenge to His power and to our faith. The greater the difficulty and the need, the greater the reason for revival. But we must have patience.” －Ernest Baker
「渴慕的愈深切，禱告就愈強烈。若沒有渴慕，禱告就是毫無意義的自言自語。」 －邦茲(E.M. Bounds)
“The deeper the desire, the stronger the prayer. Without desire, prayer is a meaningless mumble of words.” －E.M. Bounds
「禱告及其成功的秘訣在於它的緊迫性。我們必須把我們的禱告迫切地放在神身上。」 －邦茲(E.M. Bounds)
“The secret of prayer and its success lie in its urgency. We must press our prayers upon God.” －E.M. Bounds
「有些神的僕人又屬靈、又有信心禱告下復興，不是因為他們天生就比別人還要屬靈，乃是因為他們比別人更渴慕神和復興。」－馬強盛／顏美娟夫婦
“Spiritual men of God have faith to pray down revival, not because they are born more spiritual than others, but because they hunger and desire God and revival more than others.” －Johnson and Pearl
「禱告影響3個不同的領域：神的領域、天使的領域，和人類的領域。禱告的結果就是：神會動工、天使會動工、人也會被影響。禱告影響神、天使、和人類。」 －邦茲(E.M. Bounds)
“Prayer affects 3 different spheres of existence-the divine, the angelic nd the human. It puts God to work, it puts angles to work, and it puts man to work. It lays it hands upon God, angels, and men.” －E.M. Bounds
“All the true revivals have been born in prayer.” －E.M. Bounds
「當我們安靜下來，思想神國度的進展是多麼地依靠禱告時，很可惜的就是：我們花很少時間在做這件神聖的事情。」 －邦茲(E.M. Bounds)
“When we calmly reflect upon the fact that the progress of our Lord’s Kingdom is dependent upon prayer, it is sad to think that we give so little time to the holy exercise. －E.M. Bounds
「凡事都應該依賴禱告。然而，當我們忽略禱告時，這不僅害到我們的靈命，也延遲和危害主耶穌在地上的目標。」 －邦茲(E.M. Bounds)
“Everything depends upon prayer, and yet we neglect it not only to our own spiritual hurt but also to the delay and injury of our Lord’s cause upon the earth. －E.M. Bounds
「當人禱告時，神必須來幫助人。不禱告的人就是在剝奪自己從神來的幫助，就是在拒絕神的幫助。」 －邦茲(E.M. Bounds)
“God must help man by prayer. He who does not pray, therefore, robs himself of God’s help and places God where He cannot help them. －E.M. Bounds
「在路加福音11:13，基督說，我們願意把好東西給我們的小孩，而天父更願意把聖靈賜給那求祂的人。聖經告訴我們，要得著聖靈，或是得著從天父來的能力澆灌是很容易的(是很確定的事情)。」 －查理斯．芬尼牧師(Rev. Charles Finney)
「初代教會藉著放下一切，花十天恆切禱告，然後就求到聖靈降臨和澆灌。這就是他們大大尊榮神的方法。」 －古約翰Jonathan Goforth
“The early church did great honor to God the Holy Spirit by dropping everything and spending ten days in prayer to prepare for His coming.” －古約翰(Jonathan Goforth)

「魔鬼什麼都不怕，只怕基督徒的禱告。牠最擔心的就是基督徒的禱告。牠不害怕不禱告的讀經、不禱告的事工、不禱告的宗教。牠會嘲笑我們的勞力和智慧。但當我們開始禱告時，牠就開始害怕戰驚。」－查威克
“Satan dreads nothing but prayer. His one concern is to keep the saints from praying. He fears nothing from prayerless studies, prayerless work, prayerless religion. He laughs at our toil, he mocks our wisdom, but he trembles when we pray.” －SAMUEL CHADWICK
「信心不在『可能的領域』中運作。在『可能的領域』中，神得不到榮耀。當人來到人力的盡頭時，信心才會開始。」 －喬治‧穆勒(George Muller)
“Faith does not operate in the realm of the possible. There is no glory for God in that which is humanly possible. Faith begins where man’s power ends. ” －George Muller
