TWENTY-NINTH DAY
WHAT TO PRAY.--For the Spirit of Intercession
="I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit;
that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give
it you."=--JOHN xv. 16.
="Hitherto ye have asked nothing in My name. In that day ye shall
ask in My name."=--JOHN xvi. 24, 26.
Has not our school of intercession taught us how little we have prayed
in the name of Jesus? He promised His disciples: In that day, when the
Holy Spirit comes upon you, ye shall ask in My name. Are there not tens
of thousands with us mourning the lack of the power of intercession? Let
our intercession to-day be for them and all God's children, that Christ
may teach us that the Holy Spirit is in us; and what it is to live in
His fulness, and to yield ourselves to His intercession work within us.
The Church and the world need nothing so much as a mighty Spirit of
Intercession to bring down the power of God on earth. Pray for the
descent from heaven of the Spirit of Intercession for a great prayer
revival.
HOW TO PRAY.--Abiding in Christ
="If ye abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye
will, and it shall be done to you."=--JOHN xv. 7.
Our acceptance with God, our access to Him, is all in Christ. As we
consciously abide in Him we have the liberty, not a liberty to our old
nature or our self-will, but the Divine liberty from all self-will, to
ask what we will, in the power of the new nature, and it shall be done.
Let us keep this place, and believe even now that our intercession is
heard, and that the Spirit of Supplication will be given all around us.
