We have many organizers, but few agonizers; many players and payers, few pray-ers; many singers, few clingers; lots of pastors, few wrestlers; many fears, few tears; much fashion, little passion; many interferers, few intercessors; many writers, but few fighters. Failing here, we fail everywhere. A sinning man will stop praying, and a praying man will stop sinning. We are beggared and bankrupt, but not broken, nor even bent.
Brother, this generation of believers is not, by and large, suffering from such a complex! The brutal, soul-shaking truth is that we are so earthly minded we are of no heavenly use. Have we graduated in the secret place of prayer and in the school of suffering so that our spirits are tempered to bear such a soul-sickening sight? Blessed is the man to whom the Lord can impart such a vision!
He who kneels before God will stand in any situation. A daily glimpse at the Holy One would find us subdued by His omnipresence, staggered by His omnipotence, silenced by His omniscience, and solemnized by His holiness. His holiness would become our holiness. Then like Isaiah, as we look upward, we will see the Lord in all His holiness; as we look inward, we will see ourselves and our need for cleansing and power; and as we look outward, we will see a world that is perishing and in need of a Saviour!
Brethren, our abilities are our handicaps, and our talents our stumbling blocks! Though it is wonderful indeed when God lays hold of a man, earth can know one greater wonder—when a man lays hold of God.
The preacher will be heralded; the prophet hounded. We will write their biographies, reverence their memories, frame their epitaphs, and build their cenotaphs.
We will do anything except imitate them. This man Elijah, with a volcano for a heart, and 37 The price is high. God does not want partnership with us, but ownership of us. He was all passion in his prayers and passionate in his denunciation of evil in the land.
Bounds is right in saying that short, powerful public prayers are the outcome of long secret intercession. Much of our praying is but giving God advice! Our praying is discolored with ambition, either for ourselves or for our denomination. John 'Praying' Hyde - A man of prayer - There are not many who have this type of legacy - read and learn.

It soon became evident that evangelism was his forte, and he engaged in it with both vigor and power. Eventually he became one of England's foremost outdoor evangelists. He emigrated to the United States in midlife, where he continued his ministry. He and his wife, Martha, raised three sons.
Ravenhill went home to be with the Lord in November Every day as she carried me in her womb she sang and prayed for me. She and Granny, who lived next door to us, prayed. An amazing thing happened two hours—not two months, not two weeks, not two days—after I was born.
I was in a prayer meeting. He was raised in a God-fearing home that believed in the power of prayer. His earliest recollection of school was that of being taught the Ten Commandments as a five-year-old as well as having to memorize and recite many of the Psalms. At the age of fourteen he was attending all-night prayer meetings—a passion he carried throughout his life. They prayed for a lost world, then they began to pray for nations I knew little about.
They had signs of Niagara Falls, but instead of water falling over, it was people dropping down. People would begin making their way to the altar even before any type of invitation was given, their hearts pierced by the Word of God.
His preaching was superceded only by his passion for prayer. For eighty-seven years He lived just for eternity Aman of faith and wisdom And. He knew one day he'd have to stand Before God's judgment seat And so he ran to win the prize His mission to complete. The fortune that he left behind Was not in stocks or gold But lives transformed and challenged— Their stories yet untold, There is no greater privilege Than this that Ihave had Of kmowing this great man of God And having him as Dad.

Prayer As Vast As God — When something goes wrong with the machinery, these men spring into action to locate and remove the trouble and get the machinery rolling again.
For these men a smoothly operating system has no inter- est. They are specialists concerned with trouble and how to find and correct it. In the kingdom of God things are not too different. God has always had His specialists whose chief concern has been the moral breakdown, the decline in the spiritual health of the nation or the church.
Such men were Elijah, Jeremiah, Malachi, and others of their kind who appeared at critical moments in history to reprove, rebuke, and exhort in the name of God and righteousness. A thousand or ten thousand ordinary priests or pastors or teachers could labor quietly almost unnoticed while the spiri- tual life of Israel or the church was nornial.
His instinct for trouble brought him to the help of the Lord and of Israel. Such a man was likely to be drastic, radical, possibly at times violent, and the curious crowd that gathered to watch him work soon branded him as extreme, fanatical, negative. And in a sense they were right. He was single-minded, severe, fearless, and these were the qualities the circumstances demanded. He shocked some, frightened others, and alienated not a few, but he knew who had called him and what he was sent to do.
His ministry was geared to the emergency, and that fact marked him out as different, a man apart. To such men as this the church owes a debt too heavy to pay. The curious thing is that she seldom tries to pay him while he lives, but the next generation builds his sepulcher and writes his biography, as if instinctively and awkwardly to discharge an obligation the previous generation to a large extent ignored.
Such a man as this is not an easy companion. The profes- sional evangelist who leaves the wrought-up meeting as soon as it is over to hie him to the most expensive restaurant to feast and crack jokes with his retainers will find this man something of an embarrassment, for he cannot turn off the burden of the Holy Ghost as one would turn off a faucet.
He insists upon being a Christian all the time, everywhere; and again, that marks him out as different. And what is true of the man is sure to be true of his books, of this book.
The reader will either close its pages to seek a place of prayer or he will toss it away in anger, his heart closed to its warnings and appeals. Not all books, not even all good books come as a voice from above, but J feel that this one does.
It does because its author dces, and the spirit of the author breathes through his book. And, believe me, under this double injury, smart, The Church has many adversaries.
Can my sword sleep, then, in my hand? I pray that you gentle readers may be helped by them. My sincere thanks to my esteemed friend and spiritual counselor, Dr. My unstinted praise to Mrs.
Hines and her daugh- ter, Ruth, for their fine work in typing and correcting the manuscripts. All profits from this book go to overseas mis- sions. Prayer ascends by fire. Flame gives prayer access as well as wings, acceptance as well as energy. There is no incense without fire; no prayer without flame. Bounps Bear up the hands that hang down, by faith and prayei; support the tottering knees.
Have you any days of fasting and prayer? Storm the throne of grace and persevere therein, and mercy will come down. Afterwards, when he preached, his words were as flame, and the hearts of the people as grass.
M, Metvrvas, D. How many Christians there are who cannot pray, and who seek by effort, resolve, joining prayer circles, ete.
She wears the homespuns of sincerity and humility and so is not afraid to kneel! That is not to say that prayer is a part- ner to mental sloth; in these days efficiency is at a premium. Prayer is conditioned by one thing alone and that is spiritu- ality.
One does not need to be spiritual to preach, that is, to make and deliver sermons of homiletical perfection and exe- getical exactitude.
By a combination of memory, knowledge, ambition, personality, plus well-lined bookshelves, self- confidence, and a sense of having arrived—brother, the pul- pit is yours almost anywhere these days.
Preaching of the type mentioned affects men; prayer affects God. Preaching affects time; prayer affects eternity. The tragedy of this late hour is that we have too many dead men in the pulpits giving out too many dead sermons to too many dead people. What is unction? I hardly know. But I know what it is not or at least I know when it is not upon my own soul , Preaching without unction kills instead of giving life. The unctionless preacher is a savor of death unto death.
The Word does not live unless the unction is upon the preacher. Preacher, with all thy getting—get unction. Brethren, we could well manage to be half as intellectual of the modern pseudo Kind if we were twice as spiritual. Preaching is a spiritual business. A sermon born in the head reaches the head; a sermon born in the heart reaches the heart. Under God, a spiritual preacher will produce spiritu- ally minded people. Unction is not a gentle dove beating her wings against the bars outside of the preacher's soul; rather, she must be pursued and won.
Unction cannot be learned, only earned—by prayer. Victory is not won in the pulpit by firing intellectual bullets or wisecracks, but in the prayer closet; it is won or lost before the preacher's foot enters the pulpit. Unction is like dynamite. Unction comes not by the medium of the bishop's hands, neither does it mildew when the preacher is cast into prison.
Unction will pierce and percolate; it will sweeten and soften. When the hammer of logic and the fire of human zeal fail to open the stony heart, unction will suc- ceed. What a fever of church building there is just now! Suppose that we saw fishing boats, with the latest in radar equipment and fishing gear, launched month after month and put out to sea only to return without a catch—what excuse would we take for this barrenness?
The prayer meeting is dead or dying. By our atti- tude to prayer we tell God that what was begun in the Spirit, we can finish in the flesh. What church ever asks its candi- dating ministers what time they spend in prayer? Yet minis- ters who do not spend two hours a day in prayer are not worth a dime a dozen, degrees or no degrees. Moreover, the devil has substituted reincarnation for regeneration, familiar spirits for the Holy Spirit, Christian Science for divine healing, the Antichrist for the true Christ, and the Church of Rome for the true Church.
Against these twin evils of Communism and Romanism, what has the Church to offer? Where is the supernatural? Both in the pulpit and in the press, somnolence seems to have overtaken religious controversy of late.
Even Rome does not call us Protestants any more; we have just the juice- less name of non-Catholics! Where are our unctionized pulpit crusaders? Preachers who should be fishing for men are now too often fishing for compliments from men. Preachers used to sow seed; now they string intellectual pearls. Imagine a field sown with pearls!
