Of all preaching of the cross, of missions, of the entire consecration to God and his work that is in the power of the Holy Spirit, Christ has said:
made void by mans wisdom.
The faith which comes by such speaking stands with wisdom of men, and not in the power of God. And the fruit is according to the root. What a work opens up before us as we speak of prayer for revival. God asks those who intercede to take knowledge of what the real state of his church is. If they are to feel the burden, to confess the sin, to point out the evil to others, to prepare the way of the Lord in doing their part to show Gods people what they must ask Gods Spirit to do, what they must be ready to part with and put away before he comes, they need a deep clear conviction that here indeed is one of the great hindrances of blessing.
Because the Holy Spirit is not honored in his teaching, the clearest commands of Gods Word fall powerless, and God is robbed of his due.
