1 | Exhortations to Ardent Prayer | Gen 32:26 | dbmurrell | 46118 | ||
What an exhortation to wrestle in prayer! Matt 11:12 echoes the sentiment: "And from the days of John the Baptist until the present time, the kingdom of heaven has endured violent assault, and violent men seize it by force [as a precious prize--a share in the heavenly kingdom is sought with most ardent zeal and intense exertion]." C.H. Spurgeon adds, "...An old Puritan said, 'Prayer is a cannon set at the gate of Heaven to burst open its gates.' You must take the city by storm if you would have it. You will not ride to heaven on a featherbead; you must go on a pilgrimage." [Spurgeon on Prayer and Spiritual Warfare, CH Spurgeon, Whitaker House, 1998] |
