MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

Finally, brethren, pray for us that the message of the Lord
may spread rapidly and be honored, just as it was with you.
And pray that we may be delivered from wicked and evil
men, for not everyone has faith. 2 Thess. 3:1-2

I see churches and schemes and missionary enterprises, and holiness movements, all tagged with His Name, and how little of Himself! I wish every breath I drew, all speech I made, could make Him come and seem real to men. Nothing
is worth living for but just Himself. (Oswald Chambers)

PRAY ABOUT IT: The focus of prayer is that Christ might be made known. When the body of Christ is functioning as it should, men are drawn to the Savior. But when we fritter our
days away caught up with empty movements bearing His
Name, we don't meet God's standard. There have been many such movements in recent years, but very little real depth of movement toward God Himself.
Be careful of schemes that bear the name of Christ but are devoid of His Spirit.

Surely God will have a people in this place.
(J. Hudson Taylor)

MAGNIFICENT PRAYER by NICK HARRISON

In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith - - - of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire - - - may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. (1Peter1:6-7)

In one thousand trials, it is not five hundred of them that work for the believer's good, but nine hundred and ninety-nine of them, plus one beside. (George Mueller)

PRAY ABOUT IT: Great pray-ers are often men and women
of great trials. The two seem to go hand in hand. But there's a third partner to the triangle of prayer - - - and that's great victory. Those who would enjoy the latter must also have the other two. George Mueller was once asked how to have strong faith. The old prayer warrior replied, "The only way to learn strong faith is to endure great trials. I have learned my faith by standing firm amid severe testings."
If severe testing is your lot in life, that means God has designed great victories to accompany those trials. Rejoice that God has allowed you the same pathway that He's chosen for His choicest saints.
All one thousand of your trials are meant for good. Such knowledge should provide you great courage and speed your prayers to the Father's throne.

Our difficulties, our trials, and our worries about tomorrow
all vanish when we look to God. (Oswald Chambers)

STREAMS IN THE DESERT by L.B. COWMAN

For to you it has been granted on behalf of Christ, not only
to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake, (Phil 1:29)

God runs a costly school, for many of His lessons are
learned through tears. Richard Baxter, the seventeenth-
century Puritan preacher, once said, "O God, I thank You for discipline I have endured in this body for fifty-eight years."
And he certainly is not the only person who has turned trouble into triumph.
Soon the school of our heavenly Father will close for us,
for the end of the school term is closer every day. May we never run from a difficult lesson or flinch from the rod of discipline. Richer will be our crown, and sweeter will heaven be, if we cheerfully endure to the end. Then we will graduate in glory. (Theodore L. Cuyler)
The world's finest china is fired in ovens at least three times, and some many more. Dresden china is always fired three times. Why is it forced to endure such intense heat?
Shouldn't once or twice be enough? No, it is necessary to fire the china three times so the gold, crimson, and other colors are brighter, more beautiful, and permanently attached.
We are fashioned after the same principle. The human trials of life are burned into us numerous times, and through God's grace, beautiful colors are formed in us and made to shine forever. (Cortland Myers)

Earth's fairest flowers grow not on sunny plain,
But where some vast upheaval tore in twain
The smiling land.
After the whirlwind's devastating blast,
And molten lava, fire, and ashes fall,
God's still small voice breathes healing over all.
From broken rocks and fern-clad chasms deep,
Flow living waters as from hearts that weep,
There in the afterglow soft dews distill
And angels tend God's plants when night falls still,
And the Beloved passing by the way
Will gather lilies at the break of day. (J.H.D.)
