“... I have tried!
So don’t bother me with this `higher life’,
`full salvation’ teaching.”

“If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.”
(John 15:7).

  Saved to the Uttermost and Prayer.

“But I have known about full surrender to God, and the higher Christian life (so-called) for many years, and I no longer believe there is such a thing as a higher Christian life! I have never known personally anyone who seems to me to be living a life which is holy, and I sure cannot live one myself. I have tried! So don’t bother me with this `higher life’, `full salvation’ teaching.”

The above comments are not uncommon, in these days of confusion over doctrine, hyper-criticism of almost every aspect of Christian teaching, and of nit-picking in every area of Biblical interpretation.  Criticisms are coming thick and fast in our sorry day. Once the critiques were about serious doctrinal matters, now even legimate beliefs are being thrown out mercilessly.  The critical “experts” say: there are no spiritual experiences which are of the Lord today; there is no post-salvation fullness of the Holy Spirit; there is no other life than that lived by any ordinary Christian, just a plain walk with Christ, which always includes struggle, failure and living by our own efforts to obey God.
Are these critics right? Decidedly not, for the root of all Christianity is not our own efforts. The root of everything truly Christian is the mighty power of CHRIST, not self. Does any believer reading this really think that Christ Jesus would save us by grace, and then leave us to lives which struggle and fail because we are living by our own works? Let us look in this issue of “Beauty for Ashes”, deeper into real, every day life with Christ Jesus. I am going to be open with you about my own experiences on this fallen earth, we are going to get down to basics together.

Andrew Murray wrote this in “Absolute Surrender” p.124:
“Every tree must grow on the root from which it springs. An oak-tree of three hundred years old grows all the time on the one root from which it had its beginning. Christianity had its beginning in the omnipotence of God, and in every soul it must have its continuance in that omnipotence. All the abilities of the higher Christian life have their origin in a new apprehension of Christ’s power to work all God’s will in us....Have you learned to deal so closely with God that you know omnipotence is working in you?”

These are the areas we will consider prayerfully:
1. What makes the difference between a believer who loves God and tries to do God’s will, but fails, and a believer who is victorious over sin and self?
2. The life of faith and the prayer of faith.
3. What is prayer really?
4. Praying for others and the surrendered life.
5. The mysteries of prayer, the thrill of prayer, the results of prayer helping us of course) our own reality, and we get what we desire, by our own powerful faith. That is the false premise. “Faith in our faith” ideas are fake, and an insult to our loving Heavenly Father as well. No, the truth about this verse is far more wonderful than that. It has to do with our relationship with our glorious God - it is about the life of faith and the prayer of faith.

“And Jesus answering saith unto them, have faith IN GOD.” (Mark 11:22).
Jesus was answering Peter who was astonished to find the fig tree withered away, Jesus had made the tree barren with His curse of it, as we see in verse 14.  Then Jesus Christ answered the astonished Peter and the others by saying that if they had faith in God, they could even say to a mountain “be thou cast into the sea.” Certainly a mountain is a much bigger object to handle than a fig tree! The application of the fig tree incident is not our purpose here, so we will leave that for now. The prayer of faith is our Images focus, which is of mighty importance to us, especially in these perilous times as the millennium draws to a close.

The prayer of faith and the life of faith in God are bound up together. Knowing the Lord intimately and being absolutely surrendered to Him is bound up with having our prayers answered. Jesus Christ as our very life, constant companion, shield, friend and confidant is the whole of the life of faith, and the whole of the prayer of faith as well! I want to think about this deeply with you,  as I write. I, too, want to know what Jesus can do in my life so that I have a joyous, peaceful life in Him every day - no matter what happens in the future, and I want prayer answered in Him. Who knows what 1999 may bring? And AD 2000? The best way, and really the only way to prepare for the months ahead, is to know our God in a intimate way, knowing Him as a Father in a reality which will cause us to trust in Him completely. Then let trials come like the Y2K crisis and we will be at peace and secure in the Father’s arms!

If you were the child of a Godly rich man and your Dad was very close to you in love, how easy it would be to trust him when he said, “go out and order what you want, charge it, and I will pay the bill.” If the man was a stranger to you, and he said the same thing, it would be much harder to believe him, especially if you did not know what kind of man he was. Trust, and faith in someone, comes because you know that person’s character and reliability, and you realise they have the resources which can cover their promises. In the instance above relationship was also important, a father has a responsibility to care for his own. Being in a close personal relationship with the Lord has everything to do with the prayer of faith, we know we have the things we request, because we know the One who has promised. If we live careless lives, hardly giving God any attention when we are living our normal lives, we cannot understand His mind on matters, we do not have a deep enough fellowship with Him to able to trust Him as a small child trusts a loving Dad. We don’t know how to leave our griefs and troubles with Him, we don’t know the Glorious One Jesus knew when He cursed the fig tree!

Just like salvation itself is a gift from God to those who repent and turn to Him, so the faith that receives like a little child, and knows that God will answer, is also a gift from the Lord. The life of faith cannot be separated from the prayer of faith, because they are so closely connected. The life of faith is one which always lives very close to the Person of Jesus Christ, just relying on Him for everything. When the weak little one just lives that way, prayer issues out of them because the only way they can get close to the One they rely on so, is to speak to Him and be with Him. The prayer of faith comes so “naturally” because the believer in that position comes to know intimately the One they are abiding in, and they know Him enough to realise that He wants to give them their hearts desires - and will answer prayer. See how this is all connected?

It is not enough for us to try to manufacture the faith that believes and receives when a crisis comes. That kind of faith is living, and is grown in us as a gift by the Heavenly Father.
Hear again Andrew Murray:
“By faith I yield myself to the living God. His glory and love fill my heart, and have mastery over my life. Faith is fellowship; I give myself up to the influence of the friend who makes me a promise, and become linked to him by it. And it is when we enter into this living fellowship with GOD HIMSELF, in a faith that always sees and hears him, that it becomes easy and natural to believe His promise as to prayer. Faith in the promise is the fruit of faith in the promiser: the prayer of faith is rooted in the life of faith. And in this way the faith that prays effectively is indeed a gift of God. Not as something that He bestows or infuses at once, but in a far deeper, truer sense, as the blessed disposition or habit of soul which is wrought and grows up in us a life of intercourse with Him. Surely for one who knows his Father well, and lives in constant close intercourse with Him, it is a simple thing to believe the promise that He will do the will of His child who lives in union with Himself.” (p.89. ibid.).

3. What is prayer really?
It is the faith in God that leads us to take everything to Him. It is a trust in Him that knows that He cares for us, despite the difficulties of life. True prayer is a clinging to God even when the way seems dark and the heavens brass. A faith that accepts His plan no matter what it may be. Prayer is a relationship with a Person, a speaking to God. It is never a formal “saying our prayers”, or repeating set phrases when we are not even aware of Whom we are addressing.

Sadly, the modern day Christian often has a shallow idea of what prayer is. The name-it-and- claim-it merchants, Benny Hinn, Kenneth Copeland, Howard-Brown and others have presented to churchgoers a God of their own invention. Christendom in the 1990s often sees prayer as the way to get all sorts of material “blessings” and honour for themselves, from a heavenly Big Daddy who wheels and deals in a shocking fashion! Give Me one dollar, I will give you a hundred back! Bow the knee to the “anointed leaders” I have put over you, and I will make you a big name, and you will have riches and fame. The aim in prayer taught by the majority today is to get material goods, and if you haven’t got a grand car, a lovely house, money in the bank, then you must be away from the Lord, because He hasn’t blessed you! You might even be considered a back-slidden, disobedient Christian if you are earning a modest income! Most of what is presented by these people is exactly the opposite of what God wants, as taught in the Bible. Prayer is first and foremost knowing God, and speaking to Him, communing with Him. Prayer is secondly getting to know what God Himself is aiming at with us, and fitting right into His plans. We abide in Him, and He in us, and we understand that He knows best - every time! Prayer can never be separated from God’s Word, the Bible, His instructions and plans are revealed there.

In early 1994 Despatch magazine, Vol.5:1,  p47,  featured an article which was widely appreciated by many readers, it will be quoted here. It is called,
“Others may...You cannot.” The author is unknown. The article gave insight into the way God is dealing with us, as shown in His Word. It would be helpful to prayerfully ponder these words, as they give a fresh view of the preciousness of real life with God, and help us to see how prayer fits into His wonderful plan.

“Others  May...
You Can Not”.

If God has called you to be really like Jesus in all your spirit, He will draw you into a life of crucifixion and humility, and put on you such demands of obedience, that He will not allow you to follow other Christians, and in many ways He will seem to let other good people do things which He will not let you do.

Other Christians and ministers who seem very religious and useful may push themselves, pull wires, and work schemes to carry out their plans, but you cannot do it; and if you attempt it, you will meet with such failure and rebuke from the Lord as to make you sorely penitent.

Others may brag on themselves, on their work, on their success, on their writings, but the Holy Spirit will not allow you to do any such thing, and if you begin it, he will lead you into some deep mortification that will make you despise yourself and all your good works.

Others will be allowed to succeed in making money, or having a legacy left to them, or in having luxuries. But it is likely God will keep you poor, because He wants you to have something better than gold, and this is a helpless dependence on Him, that He may have the privilege of supplying your needs day by day out of an unseen treasury.

The Lord will let others be honoured, and put forward, and keep you hid away in obscurity, because He wants to produce some choice, fragrant fruit for His coming glory, which can only be produced in the shade.

He will let others be great, but keep you small. He will let others do a work for Him, and get the credit for it, but He will make you work and toil on without knowing how much you are doing: and then to make your work still more precious, He will let others get the credit for the work you have done, and this will make your reward ten times greater when Jesus comes. The Holy Spirit will put a strict watch over you, with a jealous love, and will rebuke you for little words and feelings or for wasting your time, which other Christians never seem distressed over. So make up your mind that God is an infinite Sovereign, and has a right to do as He pleases with His own, and He will not explain to you a thousand things which may puzzle your reason in His dealings with you.

He will take you at your word; and if you absolutely sell yourself to be His slave, He will wrap you up in a jealous love, and let other people say and do many things that you cannot do or say. Settle it forever, that you are to deal directly with the Holy Spirit, and that He is to have the privilege of tying your tongue, or chaining your hands, or closing your eyes, in ways that He does not deal with others. Now when you are so possessed with the living God that you are, in your secret heart, pleased and delighted over this peculiar, personal, private, jealous guardianship and management of the Holy Spirit over your life, you will have found the vestibule of Heaven.”
                                                                  (End of quote).
Prayer is relationship with the Lord, and glad acceptance of His higher life in you. It is much more as well, true, but that is what prayer is basically. Prayer is not making formal addresses into the air without even thinking of or talking to the Lord Himself. Prayer is not a pious way of worrying, fussing, and pleading. Prayer is moving in ordinary life with your hand in the Hand of the Man who stilled the waters and calmed the sea, as the song put it.

FAITH is needed at every step of this life on this fallen planet. Our Saviour knows what He is doing with you, beloved of the Lord. Consider the faith passage, Hebrews 11, what a list of trials and seeming disasters it gives to us. Recently a missionary and his two sons from Australia were burned alive in their car by Hindu extremists in India. But, Hebrews 11 shows that the history of the people of God on this planet runs red with their blood! This horrifying incident in    India is no isolated occurrence in a world teeming with rebels against the One true God,  rebels who are controlled by Satan. Faith in the One who loves us so, can master insurmountable difficulties. This lovely quote from F.B. Meyer, written on    Hebrews 11, is a joy to read.  Praise God, He will take us through in triumph until we meet Jesus face-to-face in glory:

“There are many difficulties before us all. Stormy seas forbid our passage; frowning fortifications bar our progress; mighty kingdoms defy our power; lions roar against us; fire lights its flaming barricade in our path; the sword, the armies of the alien, mockings, scourgings, bonds, and imprisonment - all these menace our peace, darken our horizon, and try on us their power; but faith has conquered all these before, and it shall do as much again. We will laugh at impossibility; we will tread the shores of the seas, certain they must make us a way; we will enter the dens of wild beasts and the furnaces of flame, sure that they are impotent to injure us; we shall escape the edge of the sword, out of weakness become strong, turn to flight armies of aliens, and set at nought all the power of the enemy: and all because we believe God. Reckon on God’s faithfulness. Look not at the winds and the waves, but at His character and will. Get alone with Him, steeping your heart and mind in His precious and exceeding great promises. Be obedient to the utmost limit of your light. Walk in the Spirit, one of whose fruit is faith. So shall you be deemed worthy to join this band, whose names and exploits run over from this page into the Chronicles of eternity, and to share their glorious heritage.”
                                      (p.139, The Way Into the Holiest).

Read these Scriptures
to ponder prayerfully the above comments:
Song of Solomon 4:12-16;
Psalm 92:12-15;
Psalm 36:7-11;
Jeremiah 9:23-24;
Revelation 18:10-20.
IF OUR GOD IS FOR US, WHO CAN BE AGAINST US?
 (Romans 8:31).

4. Praying for others and the surrendered life.
The lost estate of loved ones is the most frightening sight to the eyes of one who is aware of spiritual reality! If we believe that hell is real, eternal separation from God is real, and that Christ Jesus alone is the way of salvation, then the unrepentant ungodliness of our relatives is an awesome thing to contemplate! How we need absolute surrender to God in order to cope, and to rest and believe. Then lift your eyes to the whole earth, to hundreds of millions dying without Christ, and we can do nothing for them in ourselves. We have nothing to give them, and intercession for the lost becomes the only hope we can have for a lost world of men, women and children.

Intercession for the lost is a ministry which must intensify when we live in moment by moment surrender to the Lord. His great love for the lost will be impressed upon us, and we will yearn to cooperate with Him in His seeking out the “sheep” wandering in the wilderness and the dark of night. Caught in the thorns of life, held captive by their own sin and bleating in despair. The Lord who loves, the One who gave His life on the Cross of Calvary, will always lead us into the Spirit of Intercession if we are fully surrendered to Him.

How could it be otherwise?

Have you ever read the poem
“The Hound of Heaven”?
It depicts the Lord as a hound who chases the soul through life, never giving up, intent on bringing the lost one to Himself, always pursuing the crazy rebel down the corridors of time, His only purpose to catch the lost one in His embrace. When we live an absolutely surrendered life to the Lord, we will take into our being some of that “hound” intensity.

This is why Jesus Christ came to this earth:
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me: because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.” (Isaiah 61:1).

How can we have our prayers of intercession answered?
How are we to know how to pray for the lost?
We are NOT sufficient for such a high calling, such a spiritual occupation!
Listen to that saint of God, Andrew Murray, in his book
“The Ministry of Intercession” p.117:

“The more we study and try to practice this grace of intercession, the more we become overwhelmed by its greatness and our feebleness. Let every such impression lead us to listen: My grace is sufficient for thee, and to answer truthfully: Our sufficiency is of God. Take courage; it is in the intercession of Christ that you are called to take part. The burden and the agony, the triumph and the victory are all His. Learn from Him, yield to His Spirit in you, to know how to pray. He gave Himself a sacrifice to God for men, that He might have the right and power of intercession. “He bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.” Let your faith rest boldly on His finished work. Let your heart wholly identify itself with Him in His death and His life.”

What does the above mean in a practical sense? When we learn that we have no holiness in ourselves; when we turn to Christ in all matters to allow Him to be everything of righteousness and holiness in us; when we stop “trying” to live pleasing to God, and trust God to give us His own Life; then we are sharing Christ’s Life. In prayer we are not to try to have faith, to pray correctly, to try to get answers to our intercession, we are to rest in Him, Who is living always to intercede. GOD will provide power in prayer, the ability to pray for the lost, if we come as simple children who have nothing, and expect Him to provide in Christ. We need time with God, yielded, to take our place with Christ, and to let Him give us the prayer that can believe that we have received. How? We can’t, He can. And He will, if we allow Him to.

5. The mysteries of prayer, the thrill of prayer, the results of prayer when we are absolutely surrendered.
As I wrote these words I felt so unsuitable to write about such holy matters.
What do I really know about prayer?
Yes, I pray every day, and lift many people to God in my prayers, but still I am a learner, one who has hardly touched the shallows of prayer, let alone the depths of it. Lord, show me how to pray, what else have we got, where else can we go but to go to you?
Does God expect  us to be perfect, super-spiritual people before we can truly pray?
I dare not believe that this is the case, for my needs are so enormous -  there are still members of my family who are unsaved and there are friends too who are lost;  my heart breaks because of the evilness of the age in which we live; my life is not yet fully conformed to the image of Christ Jesus - I have a long road to travel yet. Thank God for the cleansing in the Precious Blood, which I can receive each day in my daily walk with the Saviour (I John 1:5-10).

Let me encourage the reader, I am a less than perfect believer just like you. God wants to transform us all as we come in our need and weakness, seeking Him alone. He never stops loving you and His eyes are upon His child always, every second. I know He wants to teach us the mysteries of prayer, the thrill of prayer, you and I, redeemed sinners! He wants to take over and make us powerful in prayer so that we see wonderful results. He will teach us prayer without ceasing, as we simply turn to Him in everything, habitually. How we do this is simply by doing it! O, what needless pain we bear, and what peace we often forfeit, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer. And what failure, lack of results in service,  loss of influence and misery others suffer - all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.
Can it be so simple?
Yes, isn’t everything in God simple?
Although the following verses have a primary interpretation for Israel, they are certainly applicable to the Body of Christ in our day:

Isaiah 62:6:
“I have set watchmen upon thy walls...which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the Lord, keep not silent.” Isaiah 52:8: “Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye...”

Our relationship to God, and our obedience in His strength, have everything to do with answers to prayer. NOT because of our works gaining favour with the Lord, but because we can walk in the light with the Lord, there are no barriers between us then.
“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another...” (I John 1:7).

To have confidence toward God, i.e. to really be able to approach Him with faith in Him answering us, our hearts must not condemn us! If we are in the habit of harbouring sin and we just do not feel in fellowship and RIGHT before the Lord, then we cannot pray the prayer that believes and receives.

I John 3:21,22:
“Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God. And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight.”

The mysteries of prayer are explained in the Word of God. The Spirit of Intercession is the Holy Spirit of God. Abiding in Christ leads us deeply into His authority, and we then find it so easy to pray in His Name. As we bear the fruit of the Holy Spirit, the Lord God can answer our prayers, because we are praying within the Trinity of the Almighty! We are ordained to bear fruit, and to have our prayers answered by God!

“Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should reImages, that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.” (John 15:16). “Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” (John 14:17).

Andrew Murray, in “With Christ in the School of Prayer”, p. 203, likens prayer to breathing. This is an excellent illustration, for breathing must be habitual, it is such a simple action, if breathing stopped the organs of the body would not function and death would occur very quickly. Prayer should arise habitually, we should take everything to God in prayer; it is a simple, childlike action to come to our loving Father in all things; if we not do so our spiritual life comes to a halt; we cannot function spiritually without a constant communion with the Father, in the Name of the Son, through the pouring out of the indwelling Holy Spirit.

“Prayer has often been compared to breathing: we have only to carry out the comparison fully to see how wonderful the place is which the Holy Spirit occupies. With every breath we expel the impure air which would soon cause our death, and inhale again the fresh air to which we owe our life. So we give out from us, in confession the sins, in prayer the needs and the desires of our heart. And in drawing in our breath again, we inhale the fresh air of the promises, and the love, and the life of God in Christ. We do this through the Holy Spirit, who is the breath of our life.

And this He is because He is the breath of God. The father breathes Him into us, to unite Himself with our life. And then, just as on every expiration there follows again the inhaling or drawing in again His breath, and the Spirit returns to Him thus the Holy Spirit is the breath of the life of God, and the breath of the new life in us. As God breathes Him out, we receive Him in answer to prayer; as we breathe Him back again, He rises to God laden with our supplications. As the Spirit of God, in whom the Father and the Son are one, and the intercession of the Son reaches the Father, He is to us the Spirit of prayer. True prayer is the living experience of the truth of the Holy Trinity. The Spirit’s breathing, the Son’s intercession, the Father’s will, these three become one in us.”

WE HAVE A FREE WILL.

One of the greatest mysteries and thrills of prayer is that you and I have free wills, and God works along with those wills. What an honour and privilege. It is a fact that God wills many blessings for His people that never come to them because they do not themselves will those blessings. We have not because we ask not, or we ask amiss. Just because God wills something does not mean that it will necessarily come to pass! The bringing forth of God’s will, in a lot of ways, is conditional upon our wills. We are to study His promises to us, yielding to God, and we will have what we are willing to accept by faith. When God has shown us in His Word what He is willing to do for us, it is then up to us to be responsible in prayer to believe Him, and accept His Word as trustworthy enough to be utterly relied upon.
As we abide in Him, and He in us, He “breathes” into us what He wants us to ask and accept by faith. He cooperates with His human children, and this is not allowing us to have too much say, or too much power. You are to live so closely with Him that He and yourself are one.
Let us consider an illustration of water pipes bringing refreshment, the pipes are not the water, but they make the water accessible. Rather a mixed metaphor, but this quote brings up a very good point on the free will of man in prayer:

“A brother in the ministry once asked, as we were speaking on this subject, whether there was not a danger of our thinking that our love to souls and our willingness to see them blessed were to move God’s love and God’s willingness to bless them. We were just passing some large water-pipes, by which water was being carried over hill and dale from a large mountain stream to a town at some distance. Just look at these pipes, was the answer; they do not make the water willing to flow downwards from the hills, nor did they give it nature. All that they could do is to decide its direction: by it the inhabitants of the town said they want the blessing there. And just so, it is the very nature of God to love and to bless. Downward and ever downward His love longs to come with its refreshing streams. But He has left it to prayer to say where the blessing is to come. He has committed it to desert places: the will of God to bless is dependent upon the will of man to say where the blessing must descend. Such honour have His saints. And this is the boldness which we have toward Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us. And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of Him.”
               (“With Christ in the School of Prayer” pp. 238-239).

Who knows what we may face in AD 2000,
 if Jesus Christ does not come for His Bride just yet?

We could face death as martyrs, just as that dear missionary and his two sons in India did. The Lord’s Presence is all we need to face any trial or persecution. He has already taken the sting and fear out of death, what can possibly separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.  (Romans 8: 35-39). Let us embrace His Presence now, in relatively sunny days, learning ALL from Him - and so will we walk always in light, even though the events on earth may be dark indeed!

“By death Christ delivers from death. A child was in the habit of playing in a large and beautiful garden, with sunny lawns; but there was one part of it, a long and winding path, down which he never ventured, indeed he dreaded to go near it, because some silly nurse had told him that orges and goblins dwelt within the darksome gloom. At last his eldest brother heard of his fear, and, after playing one day with him, took him to the embowered entrance of the grove, and, leaving him there terror-stricken, went singing through its length, and returned, and reasoned with the child, proving that his fears were groundless. At last he took the lad’s hand, and they went through it together, and from that moment the fear which had haunted the place fled. And the memory of that brother’s presence took its place. So has Jesus done for us!
 Fear not the mystery of death! - Jesus has died, and shown us that it is the gateway into another life, more fair and blessed than this - a life in which human words are understood, and human faces smile, and human affections linger still....To die is to go at once to be with Him.”
                      (F.B Meyer, “The Way into the Holiest” p.39).

Being saved to the uttermost, in absolute surrender to the Lord, has a head knowledge of these glorious truths. May He create in us a reality of the heavenly Life of Faith and the Prayer of Faith - that can do nothing less than bring everything to God in prayer, and receive from Him the blessings.
“That He would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man.”
 (Ephesians 3:16).
