WHAT TO PRAY. -- For the Spirit of Supplication ="The Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us."= -- ROM. viii.26. ="I will pour out the Spirit of Supplication."= -- ZECH. xii.10. "The evangelisation of the world depends first of all upon a revival of prayer. Deeper than the need for men -- ay, deep down at the bottom of our spiritless life -- is the need for the forgotten secret of prevailing, world-wide prayer." Every child of God has the Holy Spirit in him to pray. God waits to give the Spirit in full measure. Ask for yourself, and all who join, the outpouring of the Spirit of Supplication. Ask it for your own prayer circle. HOW TO PRAY. -- In the Spirit ="With all prayer and supplication, praying at all seasons in the Spirit."= -- EPH. vi.18. ="Praying in the Holy Spirit."= -- JUDE 20. Our Lord gave His disciples on His resurrection day the Holy Spirit to enable them to wait for the full outpouring on the day of Pentecost. It is only in the power of the Spirit already in us, acknowledged and yielded to, that we can pray for His fuller manifestation. Say to the Father, it is the Spirit of His Son in you is urging you to plead His promise.
