DAY 10

WHAT TO PRAY: For God's Spirit on our Missionaries

Acts 1:8

8But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

What the world needs today is, not only more missionaries, but the outpouring of God's Spirit on everyone whom He has sent out to work for Him in the foreign field.

God always gives his servants power equal to the work He asks of them. Think of the greatness and difficulty of this work--casting out Satan out of his strongholds--and pray that everyone who takes part in it may receive and do all his work in the power of the Holy Ghost. Think of the difficuties of your missionaries, and pray for them.

HOW TO PRAY: Trusting God's Faithfulness

Hebrews 10:23; 11:11

23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

11Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.

Just think of God's promises to His Son, concerning His kingdom; to the church, concerning the heathen; to His servants, concerning their work; to yourself, concerning your prayer; and pray in the assurance that He is faithful and only waits for prayer and faith to fulfill them. "Faithful is he that calleth you" (to pray), "who also will do it" (what He has promised) (I Thess. 5:24).

Take up individual missionaries, make yourself one with them, and pray 'til you know that you are heard. Oh' begin to live for Christ's kingdom as the one thing worth living for!
