I have prayed for new men, fiery, reckless men, possessed of uncontrollably youthful passion-these lit by the Spirit of God. I have prayed for new words, explosive, direct, simple words. I have prayed for new miracles. Explaining old miracles will not do. If God is to be known as the God who does wonders in heaven and earth, then God must produce for this generation. Lord, fill preachers and preaching with Thy power. How long dare we go on without tears, without moral passions, hatred and love? Not long, I pray, Lord Jesus, not long.
Jim ElliotGod deliver me from the dread asbestos of โother things.โ Saturate me with the oil of the Spirit that I may be aflame.
Jim ElliotBe on guard, my soul, of complicating your environment so that you have neither time nor room for growth!
