"It is in very deed God's purpose that the fulfillment of His eternal purpose, and the coming of His kingdom, should depend on those of His people who, abiding in Christ, are ready to take up their position in Him their Head, the great Priest-King, and in their prayers are bold enough to say what they will that their God should do. As image-bearer and representative of God on earth, redeemed man has by his prayers to determine the history of this earth." From Andrew Murray, With Christ in the School of Prayer (Old Tappen, N.J.: Revell, 1974), p. 103 (also quoted in the May 1, 1998 Nehemiah Notes): |
