MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

"And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write,
'These things says the Amen, the Faithful and True
Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God: "I know
your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish
you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My
mouth. (Revelation 3:14-16)

Cold prayers shall never have any warm answers. God
will suit His returns to our requests. Lifeless services
shall have lifeless answers. When men are dull, God will
be dumb. (Thomas Brooks)

PRAY ABOUT IT: Many of us were taught to pray by
rote as a child. As a result, sometimes we still rattle off
our requests in an almost detached manner. If we would have the living God answer, our prayers must be living
prayers.
Today, speak living prayers to God, from a heart that's
alive to Him.

When thou prayest, rather let thy heart be without
words than thy words without heart. (John Bunyan)

STREAMS IN THE DESERT by L.B. COWMAN

Because you have done this and have not withheld your
son, your only son, I will . . . make your descendants as
numerous as the stars in the sky . . . because you have
obeyed Me. (Genesis 22:16-18)

From the time of Abraham, people have been learning
that when they obey God's voice and surrender to Him
whatever they hold most precious, He multiplies it
thousands of times. Abraham gave up his one and only
son at the Lord's command, and in doing so, all his
desires and dreams for Isaac's life, as well as his own
hope for a notable heritage, disappeared. Yet God
restored Isaac to his father, and Abraham's family
became "as numerous as the stars in the sky and as
sand on the seashore" (vs.17). And through his
descendants, "when the time had fully come, God sent
His Son" (Gal.4:4).
This is exactly how God deals with every child of His
when we truly sacrifice. We surrender everything we own and accept poverty --- then He sends wealth. We leave
a growing area of ministry at His command --- then He
provides one better than we had ever dreamed. We
surrender all our cherished hopes and die to self --- then
He sends overflowing joy and His "life . . . that [we] might
have it more abundantly" (John 10:10).
The greatest gift of all was Jesus Christ Himself, and
we can never fully comprehend the enormity of His
sacrifice. Abraham, as the earthly father of the family of
Christ, had to begin by surrendering himself and his only
son, just as our heavenly Father sacrificed His only Son,
Jesus. We could never have come to enjoy the privileges
and joys as members of God's family through any other
way. (Charles Gallaudet Trumbull)
We sometimes seem to forget that what God takes from us, He takes with fire, and that the only road to a life of
resurrection and ascension power leads us first to
Gethsemane, the cross and the tomb.
Dear soul, do you believe that Abraham's experience
was unique and isolated? It is only an example and a
pattern of how God deals with those who are prepared to
obey Him whatever the cost. "After waiting patiently,
Abraham received what was promised" (Heb. 6:15), and
so will you. The moment of your greatest sacrifice will
also be the precise moment of your greatest and most
miraculous blessing. God's river, which never runs dry,
will overflow its banks, bringing you a flood of wealth and
grace.
Indeed, there is nothing God will not do for those who
will dare to step out in faith onto what appears to be only
a mist. As they take their first step, they will find a rock
beneath their feet. (F.B. Meyer)

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most
holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, (Jude 20)

You must pray with all your might. That does not mean
saying your prayers, or sitting gazing about in church or
chapel with eyes wide open while someone else says
them for you. It means fervent, effectual, untiring
wrestling with God . . . This kind of prayer be sure the
devil and the world and your own indolent, unbelieving
nature will oppose. They will pour water on this flame.
(William Booth)

PRAY ABOUT IT: Non-Christians and religious folk won't
understand your commitment to prayer. To most people
prayer is a nicety of the religious life, not a necessity as
dear as breathing itself for the Christian. Be fervent. Be
effectual. And don't be surprised at scoffers.

The Christian on his knees sees more than the
philosopher on tiptoe. (Dwight L. Moody)
