Heavy Heart

On the flight back to Singapore, I read "Why Revival Tarries" once again by Leonard Ravenhill. It reminded me of the task at hand. I am not talking about the ministry that we should do, but the things that others don't see us do (which most of us, or at least me, do not do) - PRAY. We can perform in front of peering eyes, but in the prayer closet, there is no pretending.

This world hits the trail for hell with a speed that makes our fastest plane look like a tortoise; yet alas, few of us can remember the last time we missed our bed for a night of waiting upon God for a world-shaking revival. Our compassionare not moved. We mistake the scaffolding for the building. Present-day preaching, with its pale interpretation of divine truths, causes us to mistake cation for unction, commotion for creation. and rattles for revivals.

The secret if praying is praying in secret. A sinning man will stop praying, and a praying man will stop sinning...

Prayer is profoundly simple and simply profound...

Prayer is to a believe what caital is to a business man...

Spirit-inspired, hell-shaking, world-breaking prayer... For this kind of prayer there is no substitute. We do it - or die!
