During his lifetime, nineteenth-century British evangelist George M\u00fcller \u2018prayed in\u2019 more than \u00a35.7 million to feed the orphans in his care\u2014more than $174 million in today\u2019s terms. He didn\u2019t believe in broadcasting his financial needs, yet he always had enough to pay his bills\u2014because God supernaturally provided. <\/p>\n
However, M\u00fcller\u2019s faith was stretched in other ways. For example, he prayed regularly over a list of five men he earnestly desired to see won to Christ. The first man gave his life to Christ after five years, the second and third after ten years, and the fourth after twenty-five years. But here\u2019s the clincher: M\u00fcller prayed for the fifth man\u2019s conversion for a whopping fifty-two years! In fact, the man made a profession of faith in Christ a few months after M\u00fcller\u2019s funeral. <\/p>\n
Would you pray about something for fifty-two years without some visible sign of an answer? You should, and you must! In M\u00fcller\u2019s own words: \u2018God delights to increase the faith of His children. We ought, instead of wanting no trials before victory, no exercise for patience, to be willing to take them from God\u2019s hands as a means. Trials, obstacles, difficulties, and sometimes defeats, are the very food of faith.\u2019 <\/p>\n
If you\u2019re praying and asking God, \u2018Will You?\u2019 His answer is, \u2018I will!\u2019 Psalm 91:15 NLT tells us, \u2018When they call on Me, I will answer; I will be with them in trouble. I will rescue and honour them.\u2019<\/i> <\/p>\n
And in Jeremiah 33:3 NKJV, God says, \u2018Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know.\u2019<\/i> So the word for today is\u2014keep praying and believing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
