It is the continuous, persevering, God honoring daily praying that moves the mighty hand of God to pour upon His people the blessings of His grace in such a rich abundance; and if ever you should ask the secret of God's current spiritual prosperity upon your life, the answer is your prayer life.

Thank you, thank you for each and every e-mail response from last month's issue.  All comments received were most encouraging.  Requests of prayer from 4 different countries plus many areas of the USA humbles me in the ministry.  Should you have comments and prayer requests, please let me hear from you.  This monthly online magazine continues to edify my soul effort in what will soon be sixty three years as a God called preacher of His word.

In this issue you may read a powerful message by Henry T. Blackaby on Pervasive, Fervent Prayer.  I urge you to read the article about Daniel's prayer life, "The Prayer of a Prophet".  This prophet's colorful prayer life will perhaps take you as it did me to new heights of exciting closet time.

Remember, you have not because you ask not.  We must pray or else things do not happen.  The desire of our heart must be put to prayer.  "Ask and you shall receive; ask not and you receive not" - Andrew Murray expressed amazement over the fact that God only moves in answer to prayer.

Sincerely in the closet,



W. Clyde Martin
