Prayer (28 June 2026)

Let us carefully look into different aspects of prayer according to the record of the Bible.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER

12. “Beseech the Lord of the harvest that He would thrust out workers into His harvest” Matt. 9:38

If we want God to thrust out workers into His harvest to save sinners, we need to pray and beseech God. If we pray concerning this matter, God will thrust out workers to harvest souls through preaching the gospel. If we do not pray, God will have no way to do what He desires. There must be some who pray to open the way for God to carry out His work.

13. “I will be inquired of by the house of Israel to do it for them; I will increase them” Ezek. 36:37

Ezekiel 36 not only speaks of God’s determination to increase the number of the house of Israel but also of the house of Israel’s need to inquire of Him in order for Him to accomplish His desire. Jeremiah 29 speaks of God’s determination that the captivity of Israel would last for seventy years and of how He would care for them and cause them to return to their own land. However, they had to pray in order for Him to accomplish this. These two passages of the Word reveal a principle: Even when God determines to do something for man, man still must pray before God will act. Whatever God does among man and for man comes out of His determination, but it must pass through man’s prayer. God’s determination alone is not enough; man’s prayer must be added. Therefore, when God determines to do something, His determination is anointed through the Holy Spirit into those who love Him and draw near to Him. Then His determination becomes a burden in them that can be turned into prayer. When His determination becomes man’s prayer, He hears and accomplishes it. If it does not become prayer, He cannot act.

For example, if God determines to save a particular person, but cannot find someone to pray for him, His desire to save will be frustrated. But if someone comes to God and contacts Him, His Spirit will anoint God’s will into him and cause him to have a feeling and a burden to pray for this person’s salvation. When he prays, God will listen and save the person whom He has determined to save and who has been cared for through prayer. This is a great principle of how God works for man. When God works for man, He works according to His heart’s desire and determination. He causes His heart’s desire to become the feeling and burden of those who are close to Him. He causes them to pray for the matter that He has determined in His heart, and then He hears their prayer and accomplishes the matter. This shows the importance of prayer. If God is going to do anything for man today, there must be some who are praying. God’s determination must be matched by man’s prayer before it can be accomplished.
