The Appointed Hour

THERE are no times for prayer like the appointed ones. Christ always keeps His part of the appointment; "for," says He, "where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them." Matt. 18:20. There are no such assurances to prayer as to the united prayers for special objects: "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven." Matt. 18:19. Note the answers to the united prayers of the disciples, recorded in Acts 1:4, 14, compared with Acts 2:1-4. See also Acts 12:5-11.
