During the Week of Prayer
By J. H. KRAFT
“FEAR not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things. . . . Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain.” This promise was realized by the five churches with whom the writer met during the week of prayer. At Sioux City, Iowa, the Lord came very near, and the message for this time was given with great power. Those who had become indifferent made a new start, and testified to God’s power to save. Assisted by Brother J. C. Clemens, I held six meetings at this place in two days. In all my former experience in the service of God, I never witnessed such a demonstration of God’s Holy Spirit as at this time. It was indeed a foretaste of what the Lord will do for his people when they make a complete surrender to him. The donations of this church were double those of last year. This is also an evidence that God’s Spirit is working upon the hearts of his people. Praise be to his name. This week of prayer has marked one of the most important eras in my life. Brethren, let us press on and carry the battle to the very gates of the enemy.
