THINK ABOUT IT 1-31-25
THE SECRET OF A HOLY LIFEI
remember as a young preacher reading the books by Frederick Marsh. They were to the point and easy reading. I thought of that when I came across the following article which is to the point, yet deserving of deep thought.-HDS
Prayer is a sin-killer. Prayer will make us cease from sin–or sin will make us cease from prayer.
Prayer is a power-bringer. It is the hand that touches the hem of the garment of Divine grace, and causes the life which is in the Divine One to flow into us.
Prayer is a victory-giver. Bunyan’s Christian found that the weapon of all-prayer was sufficient to wound and defeat the adversary who would stop him in his progress as a pilgrim.
Prayer is a holiness-promoter. It is like the gentle dew which falls upon the thirsty plants, and causes them to be refreshed and to fructify.
Prayer is a dispute-adjuster. Let any two brethren who are at loggerheads get on their knees, and ask the Lord about any disputed matter–and they will find the Lord saying to their troubled spirits: “Peace, be still!”
Prayer is an obstacle-remover, as Peter found when the angel came in answer to the prayers of the saints, and delivered him from the prison.
Prayer is a Christ-revealer–for it clarifies our vision and enables us to see the unseen Christ!
