lessons on prayer from E.M. Bounds
Hey peeps,I've been reading this book on prayer by em bounds, and thought that it's really good- good enough to make me want to switch on my comp and share it with you!
I shall just take out bits and pieces on it from prayer and obedience
Obendience- a virtue deemed 'better than sacrifice, and to harken, betten than the fat of rams'.
Obedience is also faith in action, and is the test of love- "Whoever has my commands and obeys them, he is the one that loves me"
Obedience can ask with boldness at the throne of grace, the disobedient ones are timid and hesitent in their supplication.
Hence, if you have a desire to learn how to pray, you must also have an earnest desire to learn desire to learn how to do God's will, to have a comsuming desire to obey him.
Faith is its highest form, is the attitude as well as the act of the soul surrendering to God, in whom his Word and his Spirit dwells.
