sing in His sight."=--1
JOHN iii. 21, 22.
Learn these words by heart. Get them into your heart. Join the ranks of
those who, with John, draw nigh to God with =an assured heart=, that
=does not condemn= them, =having confidence toward God=. In this spirit
pray for your brother who sins (1 John v. 16). In the quiet confidence
of an obedient child plead for those of your brethren who may be giving
way to sin. Pray for all to be kept from the evil. And say often, ="What
we ask, we receive, because we keep and do."=

SIXTH DAY
WHAT TO PRAY.--For the Spirit of Love in the Church
="I pray that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them and
Thou in Me; that the world may know that Thou didst send Me, and
hast loved them as Thou hast loved Me ... that the love wherewith
Thou hast loved Me may be in them, and I in them."=--JOHN xvii. 23.
="The fruit of the Spirit is love."=--GAL. v. 22.
Believers are one in Christ, as He is one with the Father. The love of
God rests on them, and can dwell in them. Pray that the power of the
Holy Ghost may so work this love in believers, that the world may see
and know God's love in them. Pray much for this.
HOW TO PRAY.--As one of God's Remembrancers
="I have set watchmen on thy walls, which shall never hold their
peace day nor night: ye that are the Lord's remembrancers, keep not
silence, and give Him no rest."=--ISA. lxii. 6.
Study these words until your whole soul be filled with the
consciousness, I am appointed intercessor. Enter God's presence in that
faith. Study the world's need with that thought--it is my work to
intercede; the Holy Spirit will teach me for what and how. Let it be an
abiding consciousness: My great life-work, like Christ's, is
intercession--to pray for believers and those who do not yet know God.
