For the Lord shall rise up as in mount Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon, that he may do his work, his strange work; and bring to pass his act, his strange act. Isaiah 28:21 KJV
Look among the nations, and see; wonder and be astounded. For I am doing a work in your days that you would not believe if told. Habakkuk 1:5 ESV
If God is going to do a new or “strange” work at the end of time, we can be assured that He will support and sustain His people. God has been waiting since time immemorial for his people to enter his true rest. (Heb.4:11)
If any reader is going through particularly harrowing experiences they ought not to be surprised. Because of the times in which we live this is to be expected. God is testing his people. “He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the sons of Levi and refine them like gold and silver…..” Malachi 3:3 ESV Anyone who thinks they can be in control and fully comprehend this time is mistaken. It is a hard time. When all we can see is depression and darkness then we are to look up. “Count it all joy”, said James, “when you fall into different temptations.” (James 1:2) Paul said, For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake… Philippians 1:29 ESV Peter said we are to follow “in his steps”. (1 Pet.2:21)
”There’s no excuse for anyone taking the position that there is no more truth to be revealed and that all our expositions of Scripture are without an error. The fact that certain doctrines have been held as truth for years is not a proof that our ideas are infallible. Age will not make error into truth, and truth can afford to be fair. If the pillars of our faith will not stand investigation, it’s time we knew it.” Counsels to Writers and Editors p.35
Charles Spurgeon said in 1861 “The circumstance which attended Job’s restoration is that to which I invite your particular attention. “The Lord turned again the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends.” Intercessory prayer was the omen of his returning greatness. It was the bow in the cloud, the dove bearing the olive branch, the voice of the turtle announcing the coming summer. When his soul began to expand itself in holy and loving prayer for his erring brethren, then the heart of God showed itself to him by returning to him his prosperity without, and cheering his soul within. Brethren, it is not fetching a laborious compass, when from such a text as this I address you upon the subject of prayer for others. Let us learn today to imitate the example of Job, and pray for our friends, and peradventure if we have been in trouble, our captivity shall be turned.”
Oswald Chambers wrote on June 17th 1909 from Cincinnati :
“I believe more and more that this is His way—intercessory prayer, this is the way He makes us broken bread and poured out wine for other people.”
It is a part of God's plan to grant us, in answer to the PRAYER of faith, that which he would not bestow, did we not thus ask. E G White
God is prepared to do, in answer to our prayers many things He would not otherwise do. This is one of the laws He has ordained. It's purpose is to make us realize our dependence upon Him for every blessing. This sense of dependancy is in itself a tremendous blessing, and it saves us from self-confidence, the source of so much evil. Undoubtedly, even apart from the prayers of many, God works upon the hearts of unbelievers, but it is just as sure that He is prepared to do something outside the ordinary and beyond the usual in response to a believer's prayer.
