JESUS AND PRAYER A Sermon by Rev. W. H. Faust, Winder, Ga. Text: “Great multitudes came to gether to hear and be healed, but He withdrew Himself into the desert and prayed.”"—Luke 5:15-16. The court of final resort in all things pertaining to Christianity is Jesus, and what He would de. His example was set for us to follow. His laws were given for us to obey. His teachings to instruct us in the way of the Lord, more and more perfectly. We can then make no possible mistake in doing what he was accustomed to do while here on earth. As professed followers of this it behooves us to search into His manner of life, and find out the sources of His power. Prayer after such an ex amination proves to be one of the great. est forces in His life. He prayed as man never prayved. When he had on one occasion withdrawn Himself apart to pray and His disciples saw their Lord in prayer, they were profoundly stirred and immediately came to Him and sald, “Lord, teach us to pray as John also taught his disciples to pray. And in response He gave them not ‘'the Lord's Prayer,” but the disigfles prayer—one that was characteriz by love for God and for our fellows. Christ stressed rra.ver more than He stressed other things. To Him some things were tremendously important, but other things were mor; sO. He very naturally placed prayer above a‘ome of the helpful and worth while of life. I. Prayer Was More Important Than Teaching. When a boy in a great many Sec tions of North Georgia there were lots of members of the Primitive Baptist Church who in those days were opposed to flvln‘ money to establish education al institutions or to send missionaries to foreign flelds. Especially were they noted for gressmg home the fact that “God would give His servant what to say if he would pray as he ought.” To-day we have swung too far from this position and stress it entirely too little. Jesus thought more bf the vi tal importance of prayer than He did of the value of teaching even. For when multitudes thronged about Him He withdrew Himself into a desert place and prayed. God often hears, where men are deaf. Over in the book of Acts the expression Peter and John is often used, Peter talked to men about God, and John talked to God about men and who wili say after careful and prayerful consideration that John's part was not just as absolutely importdnt as was that of Peter? Every preacher has felt that he often failed as he at tempted to talk to men and get them interested in God, but whoever at tempted to talk to God about men in the proper spirit and honestly feit that there had been failure? God always hears. Man often is interested in worldly affaire and passes along un heeded the gospel appeals. ; The importance of teaching can not possibly be overestimated. Bchools and colleges are necessary and must be maintained. Our Baptist people have felt sometimes that schools and colleges were essential to their denominational growth. So have our Methodists and other denominations. But one of the greatest Baptist territories in all Geor fin is under the shadow of the State Tniversity, and the North Georgia Con ference has as many members about in Jackson and FElbert and Oglethorpe Counties as can be found around Ox ford. God doesn't limit His work to educational institutions, but He does mighty things through men of prayer. If Christ felt the mneed of prayer when crowds pressed upon Him, how much more should we. He has equip ped intellectually far above the workers of the present day. He knew more about human nature than we do, but He prayed when people in need came around Him and thus was He able to heal and save. = 2 Prayer More Vital Than Sleep. Nature places high value upon sleep as a restorer and builder up of the human system. Mark 1:35 tells us ““In the morning rl :rut while before day He rose u ‘and went out into a desert place ulg then prayed,” and in Luke vi:l2 “He went out into the mountain to pray, and He continued all night in prayer to God.”” Early rising and praying, not onx after hours in prayer, but all night. No wonher He could heal the sick and raise the dead and draw multi tudes and work miracles, and comfort the broken-hearted and accompliish work that astonished the disciples. He had power because of the fact that he fimyed for it. He went to God and asked im for what he wanted, and the an swer came, Do we get the answer? Do we pray? James tells us that we have not because we ask not. “Ask and ye shall receive, knock and it shall be opened unto you, seek and ye shall find.”” Askers recelve, seekers find, knockers have thlntga opened. This day witnesses few of the marvelous things seen by men of a generation or two ago. Where are our revivals of religion, save as they come through the Jpotentlal in fluence of men who, like Jacob of old, are princely wrestlers in prayer? No sensible man would say that we could exist without sleep, but how much of our precious time is slept awa*? i we could each fully realize that our time is short and precious, that really we have only a few years to live, how differently would we spend our time, Mother, suppose that an angel were to appear to you and tell you that ten more years would end your lease of life, would you cease doing things that now gngage so much of your attention and commence to do others of much more import? Father, if rou were to know for a surety that only five years remained to you, wouldn't there be a startling change in your life and work? People that now know you only in PlH ing would know you well. People by whom you pass with a mere nod or careless glance would get a great deal of notice from you. Napoleon {8 sald to have gotten along with less than § hours’ sleep gcr day. How much time do you u}nn in sleep? Jesus, when business for the Kingdom demanded it, bhesitated not to stay awake and wrestle in prayer all night with God. If sleep was of less importance than prayer to Jesus, why then should it not be so with us? Is the disciple above his Lord? Could we mnot profitably follow his example? Prayer More Important Than Money, The Master Teacher sald: ‘“Pray ye the Lord of the Harvest that He send forth laborers into His harvest.' Why‘ did not Jesus say: *“Pay your thousands and thus secure men to &übuah abroad the tidln% of redemn‘rt n to a lost world.” e gold a sllver under a thousand mountains are His; so are the cattle thereon, Gold is of little worth to the lord, He appreciates the giver and the motives vastly more than He does the amount contributed, and thus, when He was anxious to see the whole world lying out in darkness and sin brought to salvation and light, He did not say, “Pay and they will come,” or “Pay and the Lord will send them,'” but He said, “Pray ye the Lord of the Harvest,” and when the disciples prayed the Holy Spirit came and at Pentecost they commenced to enter by the thou sands. Prayer was the cause. The weakest saint upon his knees can bring the mercy seat down to earth, stop the course of the sun as he wheels his way acrogs the heavens and draw down all the power of divinity for the purpose of being used here by other weak and frail vessels like himself. We need more missionaries. The way to get them Is by not paying less, but by praying more. Pay and pray and God will héar and see and bless and honor and make hap= Py Prayer Above Preaching. The Lord taught men to pray, but He never so far as it is recorded taught men directly how to preach. Preaching is marvelous and accomplishes results that are splendid, but who would at tempt to preach before praylni. Prayer comes first. Peter was weak., Satan had desired him in order that he might be tempted, and instead of preaching to him, the gracious lord said, I have prayed for thee that thy faith fail not.” Sometimes we preachers in evangelistie work talk to people and very little it any Imrres-ion is made. After a while we fall back upon prayer and then the answer almost invariably comes, The throneroom of the King is always Ofen to the one who has a petition upon his lips. Our Lord is gracious and plenteous in mercy and delights to give more than we can ask. When our abil ity to ask is ended, then His ability to respond is scarcely commenced. Prayer! Prayer! It Ils the life of a Christian. It is his shield and buckler. It is a source of inspiration and consecration, It is to him a source of consecration and uplifht. Take your troubles and triumphs to the King and share with Him your sorrows and your joys. Ask much of Him every duy, all the while feeling that your prayer will be ane swered, for— 'l‘Tht:u al;t fomlng",llo a King, Arge petitions with thee bring, For His Ah and prayer are such None can ever ask too much.” _ Friendly Interest. “l 1 want a door spring, please!™ said the pompous little man, march ing up to the counter. “And one that won't go out of order half an hour after it has been put up, too!” “A door spring, sir?” “Yes, yes. A door spring that will close a door firmly, but one that will not need a charge of dynamite to open it!” 1 see, sir. I—— “But, on the other hand, it musin’'t bang the door to so that the whole house is shaken from top to bot tom.” “I know exactly what you want, sir, You want a spring that just firmly closes the door hard enough to clinch the lock—one that does not make any noise, or need looking aft er when once it is put up; just a simple, straightforward spring that does its work properly with no fuss.” “That’s the kind of thing. Let me see one.” “Ah, we don't sell door springs, sir.” Could Not Afford It. A workingman residing in a large town in the north of England called on the headmasster of the local school the otheér evening and said that he would take it as a petsonal favor if they would teach his boy “more larnin’ an’ less 'teknites’ "—whatever the latter might be. The schoolmaster endeavored to ex plain the advantages of technical in struction but with very little success, “If the lad mun have 'teknites,’ ™ said the visitor, “mak him into a cob bler or a musiclan, or summut o' that sort. For goodness’ gake keep him out o' the carpenter business!” “Your son,” continued the master, “appears to have a natural bent in the direction of wood-turning and——" “Aw knaws that,” interrupted the other, “an’ Aw jest can't afford it, He comes 'ome t' other night after one o' them wood-turnin’ lessons an' he turns the legs o’ my armchair into cricket stumps, an’ he'll be makin’ a rabbit hutch oot o' the chest o' draw ers if he ain't stopped. Aw jest can't afford it, that's all!” The dandy sauntered into the vil lage shop and asked, with an offen sively supercilious air: “Do you sell puppy biscuits in this rotten little shop?” “Yes, sir, certainly,” sald the shop man, suavely, “Shall I put them in a bag for you to take home, or will you eat them here?” I(ARRY--)‘.ny_;ch. eonrnlnl and lnx'-. fous for companions.
