Until we reach for the IMPOSSIBLE through fervent, faith-filled prayer, we will NEVER fulfill our created purpose!

The least sin should humble the soul, but certainly the greatest sin should never discourage the soul, much less should it work the soul to despair. Despairing Judas perished, whereas the murderers of Christ, believing on Him, were saved.

Lord, I hear of showers of blessing,
thou art scattering full and free;
showers the thirsty land refreshing;
let some drops now fall on me;
even me, even me,
let some drops now fall on me.
Pass me not, O God, my Father,
sinful though my heart may be;
thou mightst leave me, but the rather;
let thy mercy light on me;
even me, even me,
let thy mercy light on me.
Pass me not, O gracious Savior,
let me live and cling to thee;
I am longing for thy favor;
whilst thou’rt calling, O call me;
even me, even me,
whilst thou’rt calling, O call me.
Pass me not, O mighty Spirit!
thou canst make the blind to see;
Witnesser of Jesus’ merit,
speak the word of power to me;
even me, even me,
speak the word of power to me.
Have I been in sin long sleeping,
long been slighting, grieving thee?
Has the world my heart been keeping?
O forgive and rescue me;
Even me, even me,
O forgive and rescue me.
Love of God, so pure and changeless,
blood of Christ, so rich and free;
grace of God, so strong and boundless
magnify them all in me;
even me, even me,
magnify them all in me.
Pass me not; but pardon bringing,
bind my heart, O Lord, to thee;
whilst the streams of life are springing,
blessing others, O bless me;
even me, even me,
blessing others, O bless me.

God never ceases to speak to us, but the noise of the world without and the tumult of our passions
within bewilder us and prevent us from listening to him.

Don’t pray when you feel like it. Have an appointment with the Lord and keep it. A man is powerful on his knees.

All Christians are not in proper relationship with their Lord. The present obvious dearth of revival is largely due to the fact that the majority of Christians are out of touch with the source of Divine power. Even at conventions, the first work needed is to get things put right in the lives of those attending. To give a sick stomach an overdose of cream is to risk indigestion. Even a sick stomach prefers the taste of cream to the flavor of the bitter medicine. Still the bitter medicine is necessary, and it does not prevent the enjoying and digesting of good food afterwards-rather it creates the actual appetite of good health, which is quite distinct from the false cravings of indigestion.”

Prayer does not enable us to do a greater work for God. Prayer is a greater work for God.

Prayer is not monologue, but dialogue. God’s voice in response to mine is its most essential part.
