Prayer and Hope
TWO OF MY CHILDREN WERE SICK at one time, and I
cried unto the Lord with tears and deep sorrow, but I had no
hope of their recovery, but on the contrary, was warned in a
dream they would die. I told the doctor they would not get
well, and they both died the same day, and were buried in the
same grave.
Prayer, then, is not simply a sincere desire, nor hope a
simple wish that our desire may be granted, but prayer is, as
I have stated, “The intercession of the Spirit in the name of
the Lord Jesus, according to the will of God,” and the words
used in prayer are the manifestation of that intercession, and
the character of it, and is spoken, like prophesying, unto edification,
comfort, and communion in the spirit, in them that
hear us pray.
Hope is the fruit of the assurance of Christ, who knoweth
the mind of the Spirit, and maketh intercession for the Saints
according to the will of God, which we receive through the
Spirit that our request will be granted, either in the special thing
for which we pray, or an humble submission to God’s will in
case it is not his will to do so, under an assurance that He, in
His wisdom, sees it would not be good for us for Him to grant
our request. |
