A Prayer

I normally wouldn't do this, but my heart was so stirred yesterday, and I want to post as prayer...to take a public stand.

Oh God! May we weep! Oh God! You know my need! Lead me! May there be a mighty moving of the peoples to You. May your name be famous among them! May strong holds be broken down. I love you! 3-06-08

Why?! Why?! Why?!

Read prayerfully.....

"There is a living God.

He has spoken His word.

He means just what He says, and will do all that He promised."

Hudson Taylor

"...the coming of the Lord was the great hope of His people, and was always the strongest motive for consecration and service, and as the greatest comfort in trial and affliction.....it was their privilege for day to day, and from hour to hour to live as men who wait for the Lord..."

Hudson Taylor

"...unable to bear the sight of a congregation of a thousand or more Christian people rejoicing in their own security, while millions were perishing.......

the Lord conquered my unbelief, and I surrendered myself to God for this service. I told Him that all the responsibility as to issues and consequences must rest with Him; that s His servant, it was mine to follow Him - His, to direct, to care for, and to guide me and those who labor with me."

Hudson Taylor

"It is a solemn and most momentous truth that our every act in this present life - and our every omission too - has direct and important bearing both on our own future welfare, and on that of others. And as believers it behoves us to do whatsoever we do in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. "

Hudson Taylor

"The Legitimate fruit will undoubtedly be - not vain words of empty sympathy, but effectual fervent prayer and strenuous self-denying effort for the salvation of the benighted Chinese (Peoples)."

Oh God! Oh God! That our hearts would be touched and stirred by You!

Pr 24:11-12

"If thou forbear to deliver them that are drawn unto death,

and those ready to be slain;

If thou sayest, Behold, we knew it not;

Doth not He that pondereth the heart consider?

And He that Keepeth thy soul, doth not He know it?

And shall not He render to every moan according to his works?"

Church! WHY aren't we WEEPING!
