THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ANSWERED PRAYER

 

 

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF ANSWERED PRAYER.


The obligation which comes from offered prayer is apparent. It implies a complete subordination of our will to God's will—a readiness for any self-denial and effort on our part necessary to the answer, through whatever trying ordeal that answer may come. But the process is essential to the result.

Once answered, the prayer brings the additional responsibility of walking in its light. We find ourselves struggling within the toils of some disaster. We ask the Lord, "How is this?" He gradually unfolds the meaning as indicating some transition in His plan for our life. Having carried us safely through, and having set us surely in the line of the new departure, He expects us to take up the full measure of its obligation. 

When, with Saul of Tarsus (St Paul), we are dazed - confused by the new experience and cry out, Lord, what wilt thou have us to do? we are, with him, to accept the labor and sacrifice implied thereby. David puts it thus "I will pay Thee my vows which my lips have uttered and my mouth hath spoken when I was in trouble." [psalm 66:13]. Hannah, with her prayer answered in the gift of a son,[I Samuel] must fulfil her vow in devoting him to the service of the Lord. 

For a long time God's people were praying Him to open the way among the nations for the entrance of the Gospel of his Son. He answered by setting open the door to every land and
to every island of the sea. It is our duty to enter and occupy and communicate the love of God. If we do not, we are grossly disobedient to the heavenly vision; we are found guilty of deserting in the battle of the great day of the Lord Almighty. The Christian world now rests under this obligation.

We wrestled with God in prayer for the deliverance of our brethren in bonds. We cried, Oh Lord, how long! how long I The answer came by terrible things in righteousness. We had scarcely expected to see it in our day. Our thought had stopped with the great burden of emancipation. Our vision scarcely took in the mountain of obligation looming in the horizon of our answered prayer. We thought that if we could only see our country delivered from its crime and shame
of oppression, the millennium would be near at hand. We had not yet taken upon our hearts the burden of lifting up the emancipated. We had not yet received our divine commission to lead the people into the kingdom of God. But this was all implied in the answering of our prayer. Wherever this process has begun, we should pray that it continues, and respond to God as He shares with us the part we can play.

The Real Question is: what are you going to do with the information that was presented above ?

 

Is the Information True ? Yes

Is the Information Accurate ? Yes.

 

Do I - before God - have some responsibility to accept and act on the information in this passage from the New Testament ? Should I be making an effort to understand the End Times ?

Do I understand that there are Spiritual Forces that want to prevent me from having GREATER spiritual understanding about God, but that God himself is always in MORE of a hurry than I am, for Me to get to know HIM ?

Do I realize what my personal state of preparation will be, within me, when Islam becomes the Dominant Religion in the United States, as it is already in Europe, and how I will personally be required to defend my Faith, by argument and persuasion, using knowledge of the Bible and of History and of Christianity, and that God will rightly hold me accountable ?

In view of these facts, should I try to set aside more time for the study of the Word of God, and more time for the study of History and the true history of the Christian Church, and to learn about how other Christians in the past, actually learned to have and to gain GREAT and genuine spiritual strength ?

If no one reaches out to help prepare me for the coming challenges, whose job is it STILL for me to be prepared to answer these challenges and questions ?
