And the man of God was wroth with him, and said, Thou\r\nshouldest have smitten five or six times (2 Kings 13:18, 19).\r\n\r\nHow striking and eloquent the message of these words! Jehoash thought he had done very well when he duplicated and triplicated what to him was certainly an extraordinary act of faith. But the\r\nLord and the prophet were bitterly disappointed because he had stopped halfway.\r\nHe got something. He got much. He got exactly what he believed for in the final test but he did not get all that the prophet meant and\r\nthe Lord wanted to bestow. He missed much of the meaning of the promise and the fullness of the blessing. He got something better   than the human, but he did not get God's best.\r\nBeloved, how solemn is the application! How heart-searching the   message of God to us! How important that we should learn to pray through! Shall we claim all the fullness of the promise and all\r\nthe possibilities of believing prayer? A. B. Simpson.\r\n\"Unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think\" (Eph. 3:20).\r\nThere is no other such piling up of words in Paul's writings as\r\nthese, \"exceeding abundantly above all.\" and each word is packed with infinite love and power to \"do\" for His praying saints. There\r\nis one limitation, \"according to the power that worketh in us.\" He\r\nwill do just as much for us as we let Him do in us. The power that\r\nsaved us, washed us with His own blood, filled us with might by His Spirit kept us in manifold temptations, will work for us, meeting\r\nevery emergency, every crisis, every circumstance, and every adversary. --The Alliance.",1783499794063]
