Quotes from Paul Billheimer

Satan does not care how many people read about prayer if only he can keep them from praying.

The explanation is that prayer is not primarily God's way of getting things done. It is God's way of giving the church 'on the job training' in overcoming the forces hostile to God.

Intercession is the most unselfish thing anyone can do.

God designed the program of prayer as an 'apprenticeship' for eternal sovereignty with Christ.
