“When God says, ‘Pray,’ I want to know it
will matter. I’m not into religious exercises and my time is valuable—so is
yours. Was S.D. Gordon right or wrong when he said, ‘You can do more than pray after you have prayed, but you cannot do more than pray until you have prayed….Prayer is
striking the winning blow…service is gathering up the results’?
If God is going to do something regardless
of whether or not we pray, then he doesn’t need us to ask and we don’t need
another waste of time. If it’s all que
sera, sera, then let’s take a siesta and let it all just happen.
If, on the other had, John Wesley was correct
when he said: ‘God does nothing on the earth save in answer to believing
prayer,’ I’ll lose a little sleep for that. I’ll change my lifestyle for that.
I’ll turn the TV off, and even miss a meal or two”.”
“And all things, whatever you ask in prayer,
believing, you will receive.” Matt.
21:22 NKJV
