The Ministry of Intercession: A Plea for More Prayer
Murray, Andrew
Intercessory prayer -- Christianity
Ask as simply and trustfully as a child asks bread. You can do this
because ="God hath sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your heart,
crying, Abba, Father."= This Spirit is in you to give you childlike
confidence. In the faith of His praying in you, ask for the power of
that holy Spirit everywhere. Mention places or circles where you
specially ask it to be seen.

SECOND DAY
WHAT TO PRAY.--For the Spirit of Supplication
="The Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us."=--ROM. viii. 26.
="I will pour out the Spirit of Supplication."=--ZECH. xii. 10.
"The evangelisation of the world depends first of all upon a revival of
prayer. Deeper than the need for men--ay, deep down at the bottom of our
spiritless life--is the need for the forgotten secret of prevailing,
world-wide prayer."
Every child of God has the Holy Spirit in him to pray. God waits to give
the Spirit in full measure. Ask for yourself, and all who join, the
outpouring of the Spirit of Supplication. Ask it for your own prayer
circle.
HOW TO PRAY.--In the Spirit
="With all prayer and supplication, praying at all seasons in the
Spirit."=--EPH. vi. 18.
="Praying in the Holy Spirit."=--JUDE 20.
Our Lord gave His disciples on His resurrection day the Holy Spirit to
enable them to wait for the full outpouring on the day of Pentecost. It
is only in the power of the Spirit already in us, acknowledged and
yielded to, that we can pray for His fuller manifestation. Say to the
Father, it is the Spirit of His Son in you is urging you to plead His
promise.
