The sky
is full of Pentecosts. Power enough, but how shall we belt on? By
fasting, prayer, and by willing to do the will of God. We have so much
haste that we do not tarry at Jerusalem for fullness of power. Moses
was forty years in the wilderness: Daniel fasted and prayed for one and
twenty days. We are told to pray without ceasing, and that there are
kinds of devils that go not out except at the command of those who fast
and pray.
"More things are wrought by prayer than
This world dreams of."
The Bible is a record of achievements impossible to man. They are
achievements of leaderships, emancipations, governments, getting money
for building God's houses, making strong the weak, waxing valiant in
fight, and turning the world upside down. The trouble with many of our
modern saints is that they seek for purity only instead of power,
ecstasy instead of excellence, self-satisfaction in a garden of spices
instead of a baptism that straightens them out in a garden of agony.
They are seekers of spiritual joys instead of good governments, cities
well policed and sewered, with every street safe for the feet of
innocence. The next revelation of new possibilities of grace that will
break out of the old Word will be that of power.
How will this divine aid manifest itself? In the giving of wisdom for
our plans and their execution.
