THE Gospel PREACHER’S PRAYER
Pastor Tim James - Cherokee, North Carolina

 (1 Kings 18:36-37)  "And it came to pass at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near, and said, LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, let it be known this day that thou art God in Israel, and that I am thy servant, and that I have done all these things at thy word. (37) Hear me, O LORD, hear me, that this people may know that thou art the LORD God, and that thou hast turned their heart back again."
This passage of Scripture is underlined in my Bible, and I usually read it before I preach.  It is not a manta or motto, but rather, for me, A Reminder Of What I’ve Been Assigned To Do And A Prayer Unto God, That He Might Get All The Glory…that He would reveal Himself in His true character, and that if anything is accomplished, folks would know that HE did it.

Christ's riches are unsearchable, and this doctrine of the Gospel is the field this treasure is hidden in.

"Harden Not Your Hearts" - Hebrews 3:8

There is a Natural Hardness of heart with which we all are born.  The heart of all natural sons of Adam is like a stone--destitute of life.  There is an acquired Voluntary Hardness of heart to which men arrive by mocking the word of God and ignoring the warnings and words brought by God's servants.  Pharaoh is a good example.  "Who is the Lord, that I should obey His voice;" and so, "Pharaoh hardened his heart and hearkened not to Moses." There is a hardness of heart (referred to here) to which people are liable who claim to be God's people (as Israel did), who give mental acceptance to the Word, who often hear the Word preached and go about the outward forms of worship and religion, "who try me, prove me, and see my works, yet err in heart and do not know nor walk in my ways" (Heb. 3:9-10).  The old-timers called it "Gospel-Hardened."  Heart and hand, faith and walk, thoughts and ways – these are to be attended to NOW, while it is called TODAY.

I can hardly recollect a single plan of mine, of which I have not since seen reason to be satisfied, that had it taken place in season and circumstance just as I proposed, it would, humanly speaking, have proved my ruin; or at least it would have deprived me of the greater good the Lord had designed for me.  We judge of things by their present appearances, but the Lord sees them in their consequences, if we could do so likewise we should be perfectly of His mind; but as we cannot, it is an unspeakable mercy that He will manage for us, whether we are pleased with His management or not; and it is spoken of as one of his heaviest judgments, when He gives any person or people up to the way of their own hearts, and to walk after their own counsels.

CALL TO WORSHIP
Isaac Watts, 1709

 

Firm as the earth Thy gospel stands,

My Lord, my hope, my trust;

If I am found in Jesus' hands,

My soul can ne'er be lost.

 

His honour is engaged to save

The meanest of His sheep;

All that His heavenly Father gave

His hands securely keep.

 

Nor death nor hell shall e'er remove

His favourites from His breast;

In the dear bosom of His love

They must for ever rest. 

(Tune:  Majestic Sweetness)
