31 DAYS OF PRAISE ENJOYING GOD ANEW By Ruth Myers with Warren Myers DAY 26 Father, I praise You that Jesus is Victor over Satan and all his evil powers --- that He triumphed over them through the Cross and Resurrection and that You have highly exalted Him. You have given Him a position infinitely superior to all other powers and authorities ... a name that stands far above all other names that will ever be used. (Colossians 2:15; Ephesians 1:19-21; Philippians 2:9-10; Eph. 2:6) How I praise You that I need not strive toward a possible victory, but can live from a position of victory already won that He who is in me (Father, Son and Holy Ghost) is greater than he who is in the world ... that although Satan is powerful he CANNOT prevail against the blood of the Lamb and the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ!! Thank You that Satan must retreat before that Name and before Your Word, the living and powerful sword of the Spirit, and that in the end he will be cast down into everlasting defeat and shame. (1John 4:4; Revelation 12:11; Acts 16:18; Eph. 6:17; Revelation 20:10) What a joy to know that You are the same today as You were centuries ago in Isaiah's day, when You promised to rescue Your people in a hopeless looking situation, when the enemy seemed to have prevailed. How I love the words You spoke to them: "Those who hopefully wait for Me will not be put to shame.... Even the captives of the mighty man will be taken away, and the prey of the tyrant will be rescued; For I will contend with the one who contends with you, and I will save your sons." I praise You that I can count on You to do this in our spiritual warfare, and that through You we shall do valiantly, for You will trample down our enemies. (Isaiah 49:23-25; Psalm 108:13) | ||||||

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON But Jesus withdrew to lonely places and prayed. Luke 5:16 Almost anything associated with the ministry may be learned with an average amount of intelligent applications. It is not hard to preach or manage church affairs or pay a social call. But prayer ---- that is another matter. . . . There the lonely man of God must wrestle it out alone, sometimes in fasting and tears and weariness untold. There every man must be an original, for true prayer cannot be imitated. (A.W. Tozer) PRAY ABOUT IT: One problem many of us face in private prayer is the loneliness of the practice. There, shut up in our prayer closets, we can do nothing but pray. We see no one, we speak to no other human being, nor do we hear another human voice. Maybe that's why we're so quick to be finished with our devotions. We want the companionship of another human being. We want to begin our day, see our friends, get about our work. And yet the promise of prayer is a companionship unachievable by any other earthly endeavor! Jesus knew the joy to be found only in the "lonely places." When we're finally finished with our restlessness before God and settle down, it's then and only then that we're able to know Him intimately and individually. It's then that prayer becomes its own reward. God makes all His best people in loneliness. (Leonard Ravenhill) | ||||||

COME AWAY MY BELOVED by FRANCES J. ROBERTS Ye Shall Come Forth as Gold Thus saith the Lord, I know the way that ye take, and when thou comest forth, ye shall come forth as gold, yea, as pure gold, having been tried in the fire. For Mine eye is upon thee in loving watchfulness, and Mine ear is open to thy cry. Be not over-charged with anxiety. I am thy burdenbearer. Be not anxious for the morrow, for on the morrow I shall be thy sure supply. Praise Me NOW, and let thy confidence in Me be manifest. So shall the faith of others be encouraged, for thy life is a witness to many. The Lord is thy portion: He shall keep thee in peace. Because ye have made the Most High thy abiding place, He shall deliver thee in trouble. He shall bless thee and reward thee, and reveal to thee the greatness of His salvation. | ||||||
