Have You Done Any of This Lately?
The two prerequisites to successful Christian living are vision and passion, both of which are born in and maintained by prayer. The ministry of preaching is open to few; the ministry of prayer—the highest ministry of all human offices—is open to all. Spiritual adolescents say, “I’ll not go tonight, it’s only a prayer meting.” It may be that Satan has little cause to fear most preaching. Yet past experiences sting him to rally all his infernal army to fight against God’s people praying.
Modern Christians know little of “binding and loosing,” thought the onus is on us—“Whatsoever ye shall bind…” Have you done any of this lately? God is no prodigal with His power; but to be much for God, we must be much with God.
