WHAT TO PRAY: For The Spirit Of Burning\
Isaiah 4:3,4
3And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion, and he that remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: 4When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.
A washing by fire! A cleansing by judgment! He that has passed through this shall be called Holy. The power of blessing for the world, the power of work and intercession that will avail, depends upon the spiritual state of the church; and that can only rise higher as sin is discovered and put away. Judgment must begin at the house of God. There must be conviction of sin for sanctification. Beseech God to give His Spirit as a spirit of judgment and a spirit of burning--to discover and burn out sin in His people.
HOW TO PRAY: In The Name Of Christ
John 14: 13,14
13And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.
Ask in the name of your redeemer God, who sits upon the throne. Ask what He has promised, what He gave His blood for, that sin may be put away from among His people. Ask--the prayer is after His own heart--for the spirit of deep conviction of sin to come among His people. Ask for the spirit of burning. Ask in the faith of His name--the faith of what He wills, of what He can do--and look for the answer. Pray that the church may be blessed, to be made a blessing in the world.
