[Harry Ironside @HenryAIronside]

A man of God must be a man of prayer; he must know the importance of waiting on God in private if he is to have the power of God in public.
–Ironside

"There is enough value in the atoning work of the Lord Jesus Christ to save every member of the human race, if they would but repent & turn to God.
Then if they were all saved, there still remains value enough to save the members of a million worlds like this"
-HA Ironside:

Until [repentance], saving faith is an impossibility. This is not to limit grace. It is to make way for it. Remember, repentance is not a state automatically produced. It is the inwrought work of the Holy Spirit effected by faithful preaching of the Word.
-HA Ironside

[Gospel Encounter 🕊️ @GospelRencontre]

"Unless the Spirit of God awakens a man, unless the Spirit of God brings him to see his lost condition, convicts him of the tremendous truths of Holy Scripture, no man would ever of himself turn to Christ."
-HA Ironside (1937)

[Harry Ironside @HenryAIronside]

... If a man refuses these words, whether on the plea that they do not apply to our dispensation, or for any other reason, the Spirit of God declares it is an evidence of intellectual or spiritual pride.

HA Ironside:
Notice, Timothy to have no fellowship with those who refuse the present authority of the words of our Lord Jesus Christ [Tim. 6:3-5]. Where do you get those actual words? Certainly in the four Gospels. ...

Make this book (the Bible) your counsel. Live in it. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom.
–Ironside

[Gospel Encounter 🕊️ @GospelRencontre]

Prayer must be frequent. ... [Not only] morning & evening prayer ... But we ought to engage in prayer also during the day; because in the heat of worldliness we need special assistance; and as much oftener as we feel spiritual languor or danger.
-Richard Watson

[Gospel Encounter 🕊️ @GospelRencontre]

Remember that the only end of your closet prayer is to press into the manifested presence of God, that He may "shine forth" upon you & supply all you need. Keep this end continually in view & O be satisfied with nothing less!
-Richard Watson

[Harry Ironside @HenryAIronside]

"... All this will be undone in the day when Christ shall come as the Restorer of all things ..."

There are those who say today that miracles passed away with the apostles. That is not true. Many wonderful miracles have occurred in answer to prayer during the last nineteen hundred years & throughout the world today God still acts in wonderful grace.

[Harry Ironside @HenryAIronside]

All stand on common ground before God; all have to be saved by grace.

HA Ironside, quoted in this video:
"[In Genesis] 'the Spirit of God brooded upon the face of the waters' ... That same blessed Holy Spirit broods over fallen man

[Harry Ironside @HenryAIronside]

One of the very real evidences of a truly converted person is they are deeply interested in doing good to others. It is marvelous to see how God in His grace exercised people’s hearts into sharing their possessions to supply others’ temporal needs.
–Ironside

[Harry Ironside @HenryAIronside]

We can go to all men everywhere now & say to them, “No matter what your record, whether you have been keeping the law or whether you have been utterly lawless, Christ died for all men & the grace of God, proclaiming peace for all men, goes out to sinners everywhere.”
–Ironside

[Harry Ironside @HenryAIronside]

God’s Word says, “Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.”
This was the message the Lord was teaching Peter. There are no longer any distinctions to be observed; God is waiting in grace to save whosoever will.

“A great number believed, and turned unto the Lord” (Acts 11:21). I wish we could always keep to the simplicity of things as we find them here. What led them to the Lord? The proclamation of the grace of God. Nothing else.
–Ironside

[Harry Ironside @HenryAIronside]

“When he came & had seen the grace of God” (Acts 11:23). How can anybody see the grace of God? ... We see the effects of hate in the unkind things it does; we see the grace of God manifested in the changed lives of those who have received & believed the gospel message.
–Ironside

[Harry Ironside @HenryAIronside]

Christian men & women should so live & walk before the world, should so act in their behavior one to the other, that unsaved people will have to confess they see the grace of God in them.
–Ironside
