THIRTIETH DAY
WHAT TO PRAY.--For the Holy Spirit with the Word of God
="Our gospel came not unto you in word only, but also in power, and
in the Holy Ghost, and in much assurance."=--1 THESS. i. 5.
="Those who preached unto you the gospel with the Holy Ghost sent
forth from heaven."=--1 PET. i. 12.
What numbers of Bibles are being circulated. What numbers of sermons on
the Bible are being preached. What numbers of Bibles are being read in
home and school. How little blessing when it comes "in word" only; what
Divine blessing and power when it comes "in the Holy Ghost," when it is
preached "with the Holy Ghost sent forth from heaven." Pray for Bible
circulation, and preaching and teaching and reading, that it may all be
in the Holy Ghost, with much prayer. Pray for the power of the Spirit
with the word in your own neighbourhood, wherever it is being read or
heard. Let every mention of "The Word of God" waken intercession.
HOW TO PRAY.--Watching and Praying
="Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching therein with
thanksgiving; withal praying for us also, that God may open for us a
door for the word."=--COL. iv. 2, 3.
Do you not see how all depends upon God and prayer? As long as He lives
and loves, and hears and works, as long as there are souls with hearts
closed to the word, as long as there is work to be done in carrying the
word--=Pray without ceasing. Continue steadfastly in prayer, watching
therein with thanksgiving. These words are for every Christian.=
