We should try our best to pour out all the burdens in our spirit by prayer until all of them have left us.

The clerical system of church management is exceedingly popular, but the whole thought is foreign to Scripture. In a church all the members are active. He [God] appointed some to take oversight of the work so that it might be carried on efficiently. It was never His thought that the majority of the believers should devote themselves exclusively to secular affairs and leave church matters to a group of spiritual specialists.

Teach us to pray that we may cause The enemy to flee, That we his evil power may bind, His prisoners to free.
