Alan Redpath (1907 – 1989) was a well-known British evangelist, pastor, and author who pastored in England for many years as well as the famous United States Moody Church in Chicago for 7 years. He was a frequent conference speaker and spoke extensively on revival, prayer, and full-surrender.
Below are some of his most famous quotes that I pray blesses you.1
“Before we can pray, ‘Lord, Thy Kingdom come,’ we must be willing to pray, ‘My Kingdom go.’”
“The conversion of a soul is the miracle of a moment, but the manufacture of a saint is the task of a lifetime.”
“A throne is God’s purpose for you; a cross is God’s path for you; faith is God’s plan for you.”
“When we get to the end of ourselves, we get to the beginning of God.”
“We will only advance in our evangelistic work as fast and as far as we advance on our knees. Prayer opens the channel between a soul and God; prayerlessness closes it. Prayer releases the grip of Satan’s power; prayerlessness increases it. That is why prayer is so exhausting and so vital. If we believed it, the prayer meeting would be as full as the church.”
“Return to the battle again, no longer trusting in the false and insufficient human resources which so foolishly we had taken into the battle, but now trusting in the limitless resources of our risen Lord.”
“The best place any Christian can ever be in is to be totally destitute and totally dependent upon God, and know it.”
“Give up the struggle and the fight; relax in the omnipotence of the Lord Jesus; look up into His lovely face and as you behold Him, He will transform you into His likeness. You do the beholding – He does the transforming. There is no short-cut to holiness.”
“The condition of an enlightened mind is a surrendered heart.”
“We are not saved in order to be a blessing to other people–you will be that inevitably–but primarily we are saved in order to be conformed to the likeness of Jesus Christ, God’s Son.”
“If you look up into His face and say, ‘Yes, Lord, whatever it costs,’ at that moment He’ll flood your Life with His presence and power.”
“We are fit for the work of God only when we have wept over it, prayed about it, and then we are enabled by Him to tackle the job that needs to be done.”
“No man can use his Bible with power unless he has the character of Jesus in his heart.”
“There’s some task which the God of all the universe, the great Creator, your redeemer in Jesus Christ has for you to do, and which will remain undone and incomplete until by faith and obedience you step into the will of God.”
