still praying every day for their conversion. Then one night in that series
of meetings when I gave out the invitation for all who would accept the Lord
Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour, those two arose side by side. There
was no special reason why they should be side by side, for they were not
relatives. When I saw those two for whom I had prayed all those years
standing up side by side to accept the Lord, what an overwhelming sense came
over my soul that there is a God who hears prayer if we meet the conditions
and follow His method of prevailing prayer! |
