You have no right to stand, as the Bible says in Ephesians 6:13, until you have done all you can do, and then stand. Something comes on the inside of you when you know you’ve done your job, when you know you’ve done all that you can do. There is something special about effort or action, and that is the reward!
You can pray all you want, but unless you put some work with it-an act of your faith-it’s not going to succeed. The Bible says in James 2:17 that faith without works is dead. Why? Because… I don’t know what to pray for as I ought, but the Spirit makes intersession for me (Romans 8:26). And again, on another day, I might be praying while I’m in an airplane flying across the country.
I pray in tongues as I drive my family across town. You and I are living in a day when the Holy Spirit has been poured out and we can stop and pray in the Spirit anytime we want. The Bible says that he fell on his knees and prayed three times a day. Now, Daniel was not born with an excellent spirit it had to be developed.įirst, Daniel had an excellent spirit because he was a man of prayer. Lindsay told him, “I want a prayer that comes out of your tent crusade days. One night, when one of our children was ill, we called my father for prayer. When someone prays for you, you want that person to call down fire from heaven in your behalf. You want to hear something that will reach down inside your soul and cause you to believe.
You don’t want to hear three points, a poem, get a handshake, and go home. When you hear someone preach, you want to hear an excellent message. When you go to a doctor, you not only want to know that they graduated from medical school but also that they have had good results with their patients. Everyone is looking for someone who is excellent at something. Daniel 6:3 tells us, Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.Īll throughout society in which we live, excellence is rewarded.
