It is in hearts entirely surrendered to the Lord Jesus, in hearts separating themselves from the world, and even from ordinary religious exercises, and giving themselves up in intense prayer to look to their Lord — it is in such hearts that the heavenly will of God will be made manifest. (A.M.)
Written in 1895 by a man who never knew The Army but who's wisodom has no shelf life.

I've been reading Andrew Murray too, a little book called A life of obedience.
How about this?
Deut 11:26-28 "Behold I set before you a blessing and a curse: the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God .....and the curse if you do not obey."
"the blessing if you obey...." is the keynote of he blessed life. Cannaan, just like the Garden, and heaven itself can only be a place of blessing if it is a place of obedience. Oh, that we would grasp it! Beware of praying only for a blessing. Let us seek first obedience and God will supply the blessing. Our constant question as a Christian should be "How can I obey and please God perfectly?"
You can borrow it when I've finished with it.
God bless

So may of us hold prayer meetings asking for revival...and I suppose those are helpful things.
But actually, one of the things that is almost certainly likely to bring about a revival is the preaching of the full gospel. Whether in season or out of season, the word should be preached regardless.
Jesus tells us to pray to the Lord of the harvest to raise up labourers...perhaps that should shape our revival prayer.
"If we want to know God's will for the Army we must meet the conditions laid down."..by Andrew Murray?
Am I reading that wrong?
Knowing God's has always carried conditions. In order to have God 'direct our paths' we are required to 'acknowledge' him in 'all our ways'.
The Murray quote is the blue text - Murray obviously doesn't mention the Army.
Love and prayers Andrew
