THE CHALLENGE
OF THE HOUR
By Rev. Steve Cloud, Pastor, Menlo
Baptist Church.
The outstanding need of the hour
is a revival that will stir the nation
from the Atlantic to the Pacific and
that will speedily evangelize the re
gions beyond. The solution of our
problems is an old-fashioned hea
vent-sent, prayed-down Holy Ghost
revival that will make God and
eternity real. Even Tolstoi, the hu
manist, said, “The distinctive work
of this age is its lost sense of God.”
Man has forgotten God, and, there
fore, we face a national crisis. His
tory teaches us that every nation
that forgets God must perish. What
we need is a manifestation of the
presence and power of God. This
diviine demonstration can be
brought about only through earn
est, importunate prayer that re
leases the resources of heaven and
brings forth a God-consciousness to
the children of men.
God’s challenge in the present
crisis is found in Jer. 33:3: “Call
unto me and I will answer thee,
and show thee great and mighty
things, which thou knowest not.”
God will answer prayer if we will
meet the conditions. We must be
on praying ground by confessing
and forsaking every known sin. We
must believe God. If we pray ac
cording to God’s conditions, mar
velous things will take place. Some
thing happens when we pray that
would not happen if we neglected
to pray. People are depending on
our prayers. There will be people in
heaven because we have prayed.
Prayer makes it possible for the
Holy Ghost to convict of sin. Pray
er creates an atmosphere in which
the third person in the Trinity can
work. Only praying men and wom
en can be used in God’s service.
Prayer is a duty, and to neglect to
pray is a sin. The tragedy of the
present hour is that there is so lit
tle prayer we have allowed Satan
to blind us. We are depending on
talents, machinery and organiza
tion instead of depending on God.
It is because of spiritual laziness
that we neglect to pray. Satan
knows that his kingdom loses many
subjects whenever God’s people
pray earnestly. It is Satan’s strat
egy to keep the church in a pray
erless condition.
We need a revival that will make
closet prayer common, restore the
family altar and make the public
prayer meeting largely attended.
We need a compassion for souls
that will give us a burden of pray
er. We need to spend hours—yea
whole nights—in prayer. Every true j
revival that has ever come to this
world has come in answer to pray
er. Hudson Taylor prayed, and the
China Inland mission was brought
into existence. George Muller pray
ed and $10,000,000 come into his
hands to care for the orphan chil
dren. “Prayer moves the arm that
moves the world.”
The praying people of the nation
must bestir themselves in this hour
of crisis and pray persistently,
earnestly, with heart-yearning and
tears, “Lord, send a revival, and let
it begin in me.” Will you respond
to God’s challenge?
