DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Andrew Murray emphasizes the profound responsibility of offering
ourselves as intercessors with God, recognizing the dishonor done to His
name. He highlights the urgent need for revival within the church, which
will transform our understanding of prayer and intercession into a
powerful connection with God's almighty power. As we grasp the truth
that a revived church is essential for a dying world, our lives should
be consumed by the desire to fulfill God's will in the salvation of
others. This call to prayer and intercession is not just a duty but a
vital transaction with God, reflecting our dependence on Him.

CONTENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------

As we study and see what God has promised, and connect that with the
individual churches or the larger bodies to which we belong, we shall
feel what a solemn thing it is to offer ourselves as intercessors with
God, and witnesses with men, in regard to the dishonor done to his name.

The word revival will get a new meaning and fullness of thought; the
prayer for it a new urgency; it will be a new demand for effectual
prevailing prayer.

As the solemn words "a revived church, the only hope for a dying world"
are borne in upon us and burnt into us, prayer and intercession will
become a transaction with God, in which our utter helplessness will have
to take hold of and cling to his almighty power, and our whole life
become possessed by the thought that there is nothing worth living for
but the will of God in the salvation of men.
