STREAMS IN THE DESERT by L.B. COWMAN

I have prayed for you . . . that your faith may not fail.
(Luke 22:32)

Dear Christian, remember to take good care of your faith,
for faith is the only way to obtain God's blessings. Prayer
alone cannot bring answers down from His throne, because
it is the earnest prayer of one who believes that leads to
answers.
Faith is the communication link between heaven and
earth. It is on this link of faith that God's messages of love
travel so quickly that even before we ask, He answers. And
while we are still speaking, "He hears us" (1 John 5:14).
So, when the connection of faith is broken, how will we
obtain His promises?
Am I in trouble? I can receive help by expressing faith.
Am I being battered by the enemy? My soul will find refuge
by leaning in faith upon God. But without faith, I call to Him
in vain, for faith is the only road between my soul and
heaven. If the road is blocked, how can I communicate
with the great King?
Faith links me to Holy God and clothes me with the
power of Jehovah. Faith insures me that each of His
attributes will be used in my defense, helping me to defy
the host of hell. It causes me to match triumphantly over
the necks of my enemies. So, without faith, how can I
receive anything from the Lord?
Therefore, O Christian, carefully watch your faith.
"Everything is possible for him who believes" (Mark 9:23).
(Charles H. Spurgeon)
We as a people take such pride in being so practical
that we want something more sure than faith. Yet Paul
said, "The promise comes by FAITH, so that it may . . .
be GUARANTEED" (Romans 4:16). (David Crawford)
Faith honors God, and God honors faith.

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

Do not neglect your gift...1 Timothy 4:14

Whenever we live prayerless lives we are neglecting, we
are vacating, our office. What would we think if we went
downtown in one of our cities, only to find desks closed and
office doors locked, businessmen neglecting their office,
the work they had undertaken? It is no different with
Christians when they are neglectful of prayer. The work to which they have been officially called and appointed
remains undone.
Moreover, we are not alone in this work. When Jesus
ascended on high, it was to take upon Himself the office
work of High Priest. It is an office with a real work, an
age-long task --- "He ever liveth to make intercession."
In appointing us to the office of priests He is privileging
us to share His work. He asks us to take part of it upon
ourselves. This is just what we do when we engage in
prayer. How glorious the task! Surely, we will not neglect
it. (Norman B Harrison)

PRAY ABOUT IT: The specific prayer life to which you are
called is glorious. It is your assignment, your gift. We must
not vacate our posts of prayer. The task is magnificent,
the rewards --- both here and in eternity --- are beyond
description.
Take up your office today with joy!

Every work of God can be traced to some kneeling form.
(Dwight L. Moody)

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

O LORD, I call to You; come quickly to me. Hear my voice
when I call to You. May my prayer be set before You like
incense; may the lifting up of my hands be like the evening
sacrifice. Psalm 141:1-2

Prayer pulls the rope below, and the great bell rings above
in the ears of God. Some scarcely stir the bell, for they pray
so languidly; others give but an occasional pluck at the rope;
but he who wins with heaven is the man who grasps the
rope boldly and pulls continuously, with all his might.
(Charles Haddon Spurgeon)

PRAY ABOUT IT: This is a wonderful image of prayer. We
can picture the large steeple bell and see ourselves standing
below with the rope in our hands. We are commissioned to
ring the bell, and what is our response? A slight tug, an
occasional jerk? Or do we with both hands pull boldly with
all our might? So let our prayers be today. Ring the bell
loudly!

O the boldness with which we can draw near! O the great
things we have a right to ask for! (Andrew Murray)
