PRAYER-THE ULTIMATE WAY TO REACH GOD
Godalwaysthe voice of a true& wholy heart.If anyone call him from deep of his heart,god help him to escape outof all the difficulties & troubles of life. Now what is the place of prayer in the accomplishment of that great and unstoppable purpose of God?Here we must be careful. The role of prayer is so unspeakably significant in God's design that we are prone to overstate its role, especially in relation to the Word of God and the preaching of the Gospel. So let me say, loud and clear, that I believe the proclamation of the Gospel in word and deed is the work of missions. And prayer is the power that wields the weapon of the Word, and the Word is the weapon by which the nations will be brought to faith and obedience.Everyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved. But how are they to call upon him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard, and how are they to hear without a preacher? . . . Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of Christ. (Romans 10:13-17)The gospel is the power of God unto salvation. (Romans 1:16)You have been born anew not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God. (I Peter 1:23)Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by hearing with faith? (Galatians 3:2).This gospel of the kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, as a testimony to all nations; and then the end will come. (Matthew 24:14)The Word of God - the gospel of the Kingdom - is the weapon that God designs to use in penetrating the kingdom of darkness and gathering the children of light from all the nations. His whole redemptive plan for the universe hangs on the success of his word. If the preaching of the Word aborts, the purposes of God fail.Not only has God made the accomplishment of his global purposes of salvation hang on the preaching of the Word; he has also made the success of the preaching of the Word hang on prayer. God's goal to be glorified in a world full of white-hot worshippers from every people and tongue and tribe and nation will not succeed without the powerful proclamation of the gospel by people like you and me. And that gospel will not be proclaimed in power to all the nations without the persevering, earnest, global, faith-filled prayers of God's people. This is the awesome place of prayer in the purposes of God for the world. They won't happen without prayer.
