THIRTEENTH DAY
What to Pray - For the Spirit of
Burning
And it shall come to pass, that he that is left in Zion shall
be called holy: when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters
of Zion, by the Spirit of Judgment and the Spirit of Burning. -Isa. 4:3.
A washing by fire! a cleansing by judgment! He that has passed through
this shall be called holy. The power of blessing for the world, the power of
work and intercession that will avail, depends upon the spiritual state of the
Church; and that can only rise higher as sin is discovered and put away.
Judgment must begin at the house of God. There must be conviction of sin for
sanctification. Beseech God to give His Spirit as a Spirit of Judgment and a
Spirit of Burning - to discover and burn out sin in His people.
How to
Pray - In the Name of Christ
Whatsoever ye shall ask in My
name, that will I do. If ye shall ask Me anything in My name, that will I do.
-John 4:13, 14.
Ask in the name of your Redeemer God, who sits upon the
throne. Ask what He has promised, what He gave His blood for, that sin may be
put away from among His people, Ask - the prayer is after His own heart - for
the spirit of deep conviction of sin to come among His people. Ask for the
spirit of burning. Ask in the faith of His name - the faith of what He wills, of
what He can do - and look for the answer. Pray that the Church may be blessed,
to be made a blessing in the world.
