Prevailing Prayer

Author: Dwight L. Moody Publishing House: Moody Publishers 115

The two first and essential means of grace are the Word of God and prayer. Conversion comes through these, for we are born again by the word of God, which lives and abides for ever.


Book cover of Prevailing Prayer

The two first and essential means of grace are the Word of God and prayer. Conversion comes through these, for we are born again by the word of God, which lives and abides for ever (1 Peter 1:23), and whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved (Romans 10:13).

By the Word of God and prayer, we also grow. Scripture tells us we should desire, or crave, the pure spiritual milk of the Word so we may grow by it (1 Peter 2:2), and we cannot grow in grace and in the knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ unless we also speak to him in prayer.

It is by the Word that the Father sanctifies us (purifies and sets us apart) but we are also instructed to watch and pray to avoid falling into temptation.

These two instruments of grace must be applied in the right proportion. If we read the Word and do not pray, we may become puffed up with knowledge, without the love that builds others up.

If we pray without reading the Word, we will be ignorant of the mind and will of God, and become mystical and fanatical, and liable to be blown around by every wind of doctrine.


The following chapters relate especially to prayer, but in order for our prayers to be about things that are aligned with the will of God, they must be based upon the revelation of his own will to us.

For of him and by him and in him are all things (Romans 11:36), and it is only by hearing God’s Word, where we learn his purposes toward us and toward the world, that we can pray acceptably.

This means praying in the Holy Spirit and asking the things which are pleasing in his sight. These essays are not to be considered exhaustive, but suggestive.

This great subject has been the topic of prophets and apostles, and of all good people in all ages of the world.

My desire in writing this little book is to encourage God’s children to seek by prayer “to move the arm that moves the world,” a phrase inspired by James Cowden Wallace’s hymn, “There Is an Eye That Never Sleeps.”

We Need To Experience His Goodness

Bill Johnson
His goodness is beyond our ability to comprehend, but not our ability to experience. Our hearts will take us where our heads can’t fit. Understanding is vital, but it often comes through experiencing God.
His goodness is beyond our ability to comprehend, but not our ability to experience.

The Reality Of Who He Is

Bill Johnson
I ’ve heard people say they don’t believe in God anymore after experiencing a disappointment or tragic loss of some sort. I don’t mean to treat their situation with disregard, but you can’t turn a consciousness of God on and off like that.
Al our vows and resolutions end in denial because we have no power to carry them out.

The Afterwards Of The Life Of Power

Oswald Chambers
Between these times Peter had denied Jesus with oaths and curses, he had come to the end of himself and al his self-sufficiency, there was not one strand of himself he would ever rely upon again, and in his destitution he was in a fit condition to receive an impartation from the risen Lord.
When it is a question of the providential wil of God, wait for God to move.

Why Cannot I Follow Thee Now?

Oswald Chambers
There are times when you cannot understand why you cannot do what you want to do. When God brings the blank space, see that you do not fil it in, but wait. The blank space may come in order to teach you what sanctification means, or it may come after sanctification to teach you what service means.
Si Él no me hubiera amado con un amor tan profundo como el infierno y tan fuerte como la muerte, se habría apartado de mí hace mucho tiempo.

Jesus did Everything to Save Us

Charles Spurgeon
Pause, my soul, and wonder! You have goings forth in the person of Jesus from the days of eternity. Not only when you were born into the world did Christ love you, but His delights were also with the sons of men before there were any sons of men!
