Prayer and Teaching of the Disciples

by

Acts 1:24, 25 (NASB)
And they prayed and said, “You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen to occupy this ministry and apostleship from which Judas turned aside to go to his own place.”

A Theme to Remember:
Nothing occurs by accident under the superintendence of an all-wise and perfectly just God. Nothing happens by chance in God’s moral or natural government. God is a God of order, a God of law, but nonetheless a superintendent in the interest of His intelligent and redeemed creatures. Nothing can take place without the knowledge of God. (Adapted from E.M. Bounds, The Necessity of Prayer)

Words to Remember:
Unpolluted hearts desire eagerly the ways and truths of Jesus.

A Prayer for Times of Need

by

2 Chronicles 14:11 (ESV)
And Asa cried to the LORD his God, “O LORD, there is none like you to help, between the mighty and the weak. Help us, O LORD our God, for we rely on you, and in your name we have come against this multitude. O LORD, you are our God; let not man prevail against you.”

A Theme to Remember:
If we turn back to Old Testament times, we have no lack of instances of prayer miracles. The saints of those days were well acquainted with the power of prayer to move God to do great things. Natural laws did not stand in the way of Almighty God when He was appealed to by His praying ones. (Adapted from E.M. Bounds, The Necessity of Prayer)

Words to Remember:
We have imprisoned God when we think we can’t take any more difficulties or sorrows. He is waiting to hear from us. It is time to cry out for God’s tender mercies and unfailing love. He is faithful.
