MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (Psalm 34:8)

Take time. Give God time to reveal Himself to you. Give
yourself time to be silent and quiet before Him, waiting to
receive through the Spirit the assurance of His presence
with you, His power working in you.
Take time to read His Word as in His presence; that
from it you may know what He asks of you and what He
promises you. Let the Word create around you, within you,
a holy heavenly light in which your soul will be refreshed
and strengthened for the work of daily life. (Andrew Murrray)

PRAY ABOUT IT: In many areas of our life, time seems to be
the enemy. We have so many possibilities for use of our
time - - - possibilities that our ancestors never dreamed of.
But in our pursuit of God, time can be our friend. God will
not be the kind of friend with whom you can hold a casual
acquaintance, and perhaps exchange greetings only at Christmas. God wants the kind of relationship that only time
can buy.
Time with God may not be a recent invention, but it's as modern and up-to-date as the newest computer technology.
But we must take the time to be with Him. Savor the minutes
in prayer as you would the taste of a good meal. Taste and see that the LORD IS GOOD!
When we rob God of time for quiet, we are robbing Him
of ourselves. It is only in the quiet that we can really know
Him and know ourselves, and be sure that we give ourselves
back to Him. Oh, for God's sake, do not risk keeping the windows of heaven closed by robbing God of time.
(Gordon Guiness)

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

And thus the secrets of his heart are revealed; and so,
falling down on his face, he will worship God and report that
"God is really among you!" (1 Corinthians 14:25)

Every new Pentecost has had its preparatory period of
prayer . . . God has compelled His saints to seek Him at the throne of grace, so that every new advance might be so
plainly due to His power that even the unbeliever would have
to confess, "God is really among you!" (Arthur T. Pierson)

PRAY ABOUT IT: Watch and see. Will God move in a mighty way again before Christ's returns? The only way to tell is to note whether the church is praying. Only through the prayers of Christians does each new Pentecost come. Only when we see unbelievers remark about the move of God will we know that it has come.

Revival is the heathen saying, "The Lord hath done great
things for them." (James A. Stewart)

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake
I have lost all things. (Philippians 3:8)

For true power in prayer, hold nothing back. Be surrendered
to Christ. Go all out for Him. Forsake all to follow the Savior.
The type of devotion that crowns Christ Lord of all is the kind
He loves to honor. (William MacDonald)

PRAY ABOUT IT: When we hold back from God, we short-circuit our prayers. Sometimes we live our Christian life only
partially surrendered to Him. We will give Him just so much--
ten percent of our money, an hour or two on Sunday, a prayer every day, and a nod to Him every so often as if we'd just encountered an acquaintance on the street. Such surrender isn't surrender at all. Give up all to Him. Become totally dependent on God. By giving, you get. By keeping,
you lose.

One of the greatest miracles the Lord can perform in our
behalf is to cripple all our human efforts and make us totally dependent on Him. (David Wilkerson)
