TWENTY-EIGHTH DAY
What to Pray - That all God's People May Know
the Holy Spirit
The Spirit of Truth, Whom the world knoweth not; but
ye know Him; for He abideth with you, and shall be in you. -John 14:17. Know
ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost? -1 Cor. 6: 19.
The
Holy Spirit is the power of God for the salvation of men. He only works as He
dwells in the Church. He is given to enable believers to live wholly as God
would have them live, in the full experience and witness of Him who saves
completely. Pray God that everyone of His people may know the Holy Spirit! That
He, in all His fullness, is given to them! That they cannot expect to live as
their Father would have, without having Him in His fullness, without being
filled with Him! Pray that all God's people, even away in churches gathered out
of heathendom, may learn to say: 1 believe in the Holy Ghost.
How to
Pray - Laboring Fervently in Prayer
Who is one of you,
saluteth you, always reverently you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and
complete in aII the will of God. - Col. 4:12.
To a healthy man labor is
a delight; in what interests him he labors fervently. The believer who is in
full health, whose heart is filled with God's Spirit, labors fervently in
prayer. For what? That his brethren may stand perfect and complete in all the
will of God; that they may know what God wills for them how He calls them to
live, and be led and walk by the Holy Ghost. Labor fervently in prayer that all
God's children may know this, as possible, as divinely sure.
