DAY 19

WHAT TO PRAY: For The Holy Spirit On Christiendom

2 Timothy 3:5
5Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.

Revelation 3:1
1And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.

There are five hundred millions of nominal Christians. The state of the majority is unspeakably awful. Formality, worldliness, ungodliness, rejection of Christ's service, ignorance, and indifference--to what an extent does all this prevail. We pray for the heathen--oh! do let us pray for those bearing Christ's name, many in worse than heathen darkness.

Does not one feel as if one ought to begin to give up his life and to cry day and night to God for souls? In answer to prayer, God gives the power of the Holy Ghost

HOW TO PRAY: In Deep Stillness Of Soul

Psalm 62:1
1Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation
.
Prayer has its power in God alone. The nearly a man comes to God Himself, the deeper he enters into God's will; the more he takes hold of God, the more power in prayer.

God must reveal Himself. If it please Him to make Himself known, He can make the heart conscious of His presences. Our pasture must be that of holy reverence, of quiet waiting and adoration.

As your month of intercession passes on, and you feel the greatness of your work, be still before God. Thus you will get power of pray.
