PROPHET.ELISHA 54-0723 10 …Sometimes we go off on a tantrum somewhere and not think about God, not pray over it, ask the Lord whether we should do it or not, and we find out that our supply of blessings is cut off. Then we wonder sometime, "Well, wonder why I can't have no more blessings." You don't watch, you let down in your prayer life. You say, "Well, I'm a Christian." Well, that's the more sign you should pray, more than ever. Read the Bible every day. Pray every day. Don't make any decisions too harshly or too quickly, without first considering God about it. Ask Him, "Shall I do this, Father?" Ask Him, "Is it Your will for me to do this?" Then see what the Holy Spirit will speak to you. He might not give you a vision, but He will speak in some way to you, to let you know, if you'll be sincere and ask Him.

CHRIST.REVEALED.IN.HIS.OWN.WORD 65-0822M 33 ... I was riding with a man not long ago. He said, "Think of it. We here on this earth, the way we are, and we only know or can only say that we're saved by some Jewish fable called the Bible." I said, "Sir, I don't know how you say that, but I don't believe it's a Jewish fable." He said, "Well, what do you pray to? I asked for so-and-so and certain things; I didn't get it." I said, "You pray wrong. We should never pray to change God's mind; we should pray to change our mind. God's mind don't need any changing. It's right." I said, "Not what you pray for..."

35 I know a young Catholic boy one time had a prayer book saying prayers for his mother to live. And she died, and he throwed the prayer book in the fire. I don't go for the prayer book, but anyhow... See, you take the wrong attitude. You're trying to tell God what to do. Prayer should be, "Lord, change me to fit Your Word," not change, not, "Let me change Your mind; You change my mind. You change my mind to Your will, and Your will's written here in the Book. And Lord, don't let me go till You got my mind set just like Your mind. And then when my mind is set like Your mind, then I'll believe every Word You wrote. And You said in there You'd make everything work together for good to them that loves You, and I love You, Lord. It's all working together for the good."

Continuing: (Gr.) proskartereo to adhere to one, to be devoted or constant to one; to be steadfastly attentive unto, to give unremitting care to a thing; to continue all the time in a place; to persevere and not to faint; to show one's self courageous for; to be in constant readiness for one.

GOD'S.PROVIDED.WAY 64-0206E 54 God told Moses that He give him the land. He told Joshua, "Every place the sole of your foot treads, that I have given you." They had to fight for every inch of it. So do we fight for every inch of it. …Come with a determination. Come, that you're going to stay there, till it's over. Stay there until God answers and vindicates. A man that believes in God can see the Presence of God, feel the Presence of God, sense the Presence of God and know He's here. He's here to answer everything that He made promise for in this day. Then cry till you get it. Hold on to Him. Don't leave, if you have to stay day and night. God don't want His children listening to intellectual speeches. He wants them to cry to it, till the promise is vindicated.

HE.WAS.TO.PASS.THIS.WAY 64-0321B 16 So Rebekah had found this Jesus. And He was to her exactly the fulfilling of the promise that the Jews had been looking for, for their day. So the news had got around that He was going to have a breakfast, or some kind of a dinner, or something, down in Jericho. So she had got busy to praying about her businessman husband. We need more Rebekahs everywhere. See, prayer changes things. If you lay your husband, or your unsaved one, before God and then pray, God will make a way somewhere 'cause He promised to… I think …if a person ever meets Jesus and finds Him really in your heart, you're interested not only in your own household but the household of God everywhere. You're interested that they know Him. And to know Him is Life: know Him not know how to read the Word, or... But know Him is Life. So she had prayed hard.

ABRAHAM'S.GRACE.COVENANT 61-0317 38 So, see, it isn't some great big healer comes to town. You're pastor has the same authority of any other man. Your neighbor, your Christian sister, your Christian brother... anybody. Anybody has the right to pray for you. The Bible said confess your faults one to another and pray one for the other…

Ask your pastor to pray for you. Prayer changes things. What does it do? It doesn't heal you. It gives you faith to express what's already been done: your healing. You understand it?

PRESENCE.OF.GOD.UNRECOGNIZED 64-0618 47 What we want to do today is find out the truth. Is He the same? Is He here to fulfill what He promised to fulfill? Search the Scriptures and find what He's supposed to do today.

52 Look at the day we're living in, what's promised for this day. Where are we? We've moved on up. The Pillar of Fire moves, and the children of Israel moved with the Pillar of Fire or they went back to Egypt. We've got to move with the Word. …Oh the greatest pleasure I know of, is to be to pray until I can realize that I'm in the Presence of God, and recognize it. I think that ought to be the thrill of the church is the Presence of the Holy Spirit, seeing the God that made the promise standing among us, feel His Presence, and see His Word, and see It vindicated. It ought to give faith to make cripples walk, blind see, deaf hear, dumb speak.

TRUE.SIGN.THAT'S.OVERLOOKED 61-1112 66 God wants His people to pray. And when Israel got so taxed in such a condition that they could not go any farther, their time was fulfilled and their burdens lay farther than what they thought, then they begin to pray. And when the people begin to pray, then God begin to hear. It was time for God's Word to be fulfilled. And so when Amram and Jochebed saw that it was time for the Word to be fulfilled, they went to prayer to God.
