Sunday, March 9th, 2014 Prayer is not just an exercise routine God has us on; it’s our business, our only business. Prayer is our holy occupation. Plain and simple: OUR HOLY OCCUPATION REQUIRES FAITH: “How will my prayer life be different if I focus on God rather than on my circumstances?” “JOBS CRY, Oh, that I knew where I might find Him, is the birth of evangelical prayer on the basis of redemption. The finding cannot be by reasoning or by religious faith; the only way to find God is through prayer.” “IN REGENERATION God works below the threshold of our consciousness; all we are conscious of is a sudden burst up into our conscious life, but as to when God begins to work no one can tell. This emphasizes the importance of intercessory prayer. A mother, a husband or a wife, or a Christian worker praying for another soul has a clear indication that God has answered their prayer; outwardly the one prayed for is just the same, there is no difference in his conduct but the prayer is answered. The work is unconscious as yet, but at any second it may burst forth into conscious life. We can¬not calculate where God begins to work anymore than we can say when it is going to become conscious; that is why we have to pray in reliance on the Holy Spirit.” ________________________________________
