IN THE SCHOOL. OF PRAYER ARE
LEARNED GODS GOOD PROMISES

cause the success was not by
might nor by power, but by Gods
spirit, and give the Lord credit,
II all comes from God, There
is nothing of ourselves. Not at all!
1t is God that gives us tho food 20
eat. We cant make the seed grow.
The God that gives us the watar 60
drink and the wood and coal 10
warm us, is the God that gives tho
sunshine, It isn't ours. Thank him
for IL!
Surprising the sun don't como
up. you can summon all tho world
tomorrow morning and they
couldn't make It come up. II IS
beyond their power to do that. So
the Lord is doing all these things
for US.
One Of the biggest farces in the
church today is a prayer meeting.
If you have a hundred members and
can stir up fifteen or twenty, you
think you've got q big crowd.
Where are the rest of them? Play
ing golf on Sunday aad going
down to the theatre on the Sabbath
and those things What do they
care about God? I am amazed aJ
Gods patience!
Lord. teach US to pray" When
I pray | move men, when I pray I
move God, but I will move men lE
l don't move God, There are thrco
things. Whatever you do, do it for
the Glory of God do it because
you believe II will please God 70
do it, Everybody, l don't give a
whoop who you are, If what I do
displeases you, then it is no credit
to you! 1t shows You are mot
decent!
If what I do pleasos God and
don't please you. then you are Off.
That is true, Now, glory in God,
do everything YOU do because Col
wants it done and the devil doesn't.
Live for the Glory Of God. Have a
surrendered will
Lord. teach us to pray" Then
pray in assurance that God will do
what he has promised TO do. I

enter into the closest and when
thou hast shut thy door. pray 10
thy Father who seeth in secret and
he shall reward thee openly"
Prayer in jesus Name.
Lord, teach US to pray
One more verse. John XIV, "And
whatsoever We shall ask the Father
in my name. that will do, that the
Father may be glorifed in the
Son
Not my namei You can cry m
my name for a month and the
Lord won't hear you. You can cry
in the name OF the president and
the Lord won't hear you. You can
cry in the name of the king and
the Lord won't hear Won. You can
cry in the name OF the bishop, in
the name of the pope, and the
Lord won't hear you. ''Whatso-
ever We ask the Father in My
name"
You can ask in the name Of the
banker, he won't hear you. What
soever You ask the Father in my
name" said Jesus, that Will do,
that the Father may be glorided in
the Son"
If you don't ask it in Jesus
name you won't be saved, There
has never been a sinner that was
saved that didn't get salvation
faith in Christ. and there
never will be a sinner on earth that
will be saved. VINO turns his back
on Jesus Christ as his Savior.
Whatever you shall ask in Jesus
name shall be granted. / went 10
God one dark. stormy night 30
years ago in Chicago, and l said,
70 Lord for Jesus sake save me-"
I prayed and God reached down
and saved me because I went I'm
The name Of Jesus Christ He has
blessed me because I Try to live I'm
The name of Jesus Christ and I
pray in his name. Whatsoever vou
shall ask the Father In my namC.'
Two or three things give You the
right to a name. If you are in
business II comes If one partner

he birthriEht Your children have
a right to your name You are
heir mother and father and they
nave a right TO your name. Your
wife has a right to your name The
aw gives her that right and she is
entitled to a widows d0Wry. a third
If the estate. because she bears
-our name. She is your wife, and
he mother of your child or chill
lren.
Whatsoever you ask the Father
n my namet" And so I have q
light to use the name Of Jesus be-
,ause it is Gods appointed way for
/ sinner to he saved and there is
10 other way and that gives you
he privilege.
God wants me 70 be saved, and
He gave his only begotteu son thai
believed on Him might
,e saved" That is the reason why
must go in His name and 10 l
Ion't I can't be saved. The Lord
S deaf and dumb to anybody that
,oes in any other name or any
'ther way. Jesus said; Gle that
limbeth up some other way is tho
anne as a thief and a robber"
Do you know how You treat
hieves and robbers when they

he Lord will treat you when YOU
