The Prayer Motivator with Daniel Whyte III

Prayer is a Time of Exposure of the Soul to God (Prayer Motivator Minute #58)

Our prayer motivator verse for today from the Word of God is 1 Samuel 12:23 which reads: "Moreover as for me, God forbid that I should sin against the LORD in ceasing to pray for you: but I will teach you the good and the right way." Our prayer motivator quote for today is from Samuel Chadwick. He said, "Prayer is the acid test of devotion." Our prayer motivator devotional for today is a continuation from our last broadcast titled PRAYER IS GOD'S APPOINTED WAY FOR CHRISTIANS TO GET THINGS - Part 2 from Dr. John R. Rice. Dr. Rice said... We must remember that God can use means. God can use medicines and doctors to heal the sick. Luke was "the beloved physician". Timothy was commanded to "use a little wine for thy stomach's sake." King Hezekiah was healed when Isaiah commanded him to place a lump of figs on the boil, which was about to kill him. God can use means, and He may answer our prayers by using human means. He may use an employment agency to give us a job by our diligent application and seeking. He may use our hard work on the farm to make a crop. Certain it is that when God takes charge, He can bring the results out of our poor labors. But remember this, that God does not always use human means. Sometimes through ways utterly unexpected and without human intermentalities, God chooses to work His will in answer to prayer. God can heal the sick without medicine, and sometimes He delights to do it that way in answer to prayer. God can give jobs where you do not have an application in. God can send money that you didn't earn. How well I know, thank God, from blessed experiences that this is true! But the point is that whether God uses well-known means or does it by ways utterly unexpected or even by ways impossible with men, still it is God who gives what we need. And the way for us to get what we need is to ask for it. Praying is God's appointed way for a Christian to have what he needs and what he wants. Every other way may fail. "Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not." Suppose there are two men in conversation, one a lost man, the other a saved man, a child of God. The unconverted man says, "These are surely hard times. I can't get a job. I have walked until my feet are sore. I have answered all the advertisements. I just don't get the breaks." And suppose the Christian man answered, "Yes, these surely are hard times. I have walked until my feet are sore too. I have answered all the advertisements in the papers, and yet I can't find a job. You are right. A poor man just doesn't have a chance these days." God forbid! Has the Christian no more resources than a lost man? What good is it to be a Christian if you have no one to answer your prayers, no one to care for your needs, no one to give you what you want! There is no joy, there is no testimony, there is no victory in that kind of Christianity. Thank God a Christian can confidently pray and say, "My Father, You know I need a job. Everything in the world is in Your hands. So I ask You to give me, Your child, a job so I can have daily bread, so I can care for my family, so I can give to others, and so others may know that God takes care of His children." And for millions, God has answered such prayers. + Plus, listen to Tobymac singing "City On Our Knees"
