May I? Whatever We Ask
Today’s Devotion:
May I? Whatever We Ask
Bryan Chapell tells of three ministers—James Philip, George Philip, and William Still—who prayed in the 1950s for God to revive the Church of Scotland and to raise up ministers. After four years of fervent joint intercession, they felt released from their burden of prayer, but they saw little evidence of genuine revival.
Twenty-five years later these same ministers hosted a conference attended by about two hundred pastors. One of the three men who had prayed for revival asked for a show of hands by those who had been converted during the initial years when he and his partners were praying. A number raised their hands. Then he asked how many of the remaining ministers had been born during those four years. Most of the others now raised their hands. Chapell said, “God had answered the prayer of the original three ministers in a way they could not have expected.”
When we ask anything according to His will, He answers in His own unique way and time.
Praying in accord with the will of God presumes that we are praying in Jesus’ name because we are seeking his purposes.

Beyond the Promised Land
This is episode nine from The Account, an original Turning Point Television production that was created to introduce David Jeremiah's teaching series I Never Thought I'd See the Day! Its message remains relevant for us as we are Living in the Age of Signs.
The Account takes you back to the 1960's when the advertising agency of Wyndham Ridgestone landed the most mysterious client in the history of their firm. This shadowy and intimidating Client hires the firm to influence the masses—to sway the behavior of people toward a liberal mindset—to market a moral shift in American culture. The faceless and nameless Client presents ten issues to the advertising firm and employs it to create these morally destructive campaigns.
