So, you see, we are HIS Co-Workers---yes, Co-Workers WITH
Christ. He is IN THIS WORK WITH US---with all His divine power!
He has commanded us, (Heb. 4:16) to COME BOLDLY TO HIS THRONE of
grace, where we shall find the necessary HELP in time of need.
Co-Workers, we are right now in that desperate TIME OF
NEED! But we don't need to give up, lose faith, or quit. NOW is
the time to go to our Head and our Chief, and rely on HIM! NOW is
the time to call on Supernatural Divine Power. NOW is the time to
go to our knees in the private place of PRAYER! He has said He
will never drop the work He has begun! HE WON'T QUIT---neither
shall WE!
This very CRISIS we face is our GREATEST OPPORTUNITY! If
we now let down and quit trying, then people will FORGET Christ,
and spend lavishly on Christmas presents to TRADE them back and
forth. They suppose they are following the example of the wise
men, who gave gifts to the Christ-child. But they are not. The
wise men gave their gifts to CHRIST---they didn't exchange them
among themselves. And it was NOT His birthday, but several days
after He was born!
If we lie down now, this work will go down, and OUT! But,
if we wake up and realize we are Co-Workers WITH Christ---and He is
a Co-Worker WITH us, and our Chief in God's work, we can go to Him
in fervent, earnest, believing PRAYER, and He will send out a
mighty wave of POWER, and MOVE on human minds and hearts, and cause
them to REALIZE that they are NEGLECTING CHRIST in their Christmas
generosity. And, instead of shutting off the income for God's
work, He will touch the HEARTS of thousands right at this season
when they are in the generous spirit of GIVING, and cause them to
GIVE for His work more generously than ever before!
You and I can't do that! Only the power of God can do it!
That's CHRIST'S part in this work---but He insists we must put OUR
WHOLE HEARTS INTO IT, and come earnestly to His Throne of Grace in
humbling PRAYER!
God wants us to be DOERS! This crisis is SO serious I have
to ask those of you who can't GIVE it, but have large sums you
might LOAN, if you will not send in as a LOAN for a year or more,
anywhere from $500 to several thousand dollars. Also I have to ask
you to send in the LARGEST offerings you can, beside your faithful
TITHES---and, IN ADDITION, send in TWO DOLLARS, if possible (even
one if you can't send two) EXTRA, over and above what you thought
you could spare, every week for the remainder of this year! Will
you do that?---EVERYBODY---an extra two dollars, over and above the
largest regular offerings possible, every week until after Xmas?
If every one of you will do this---and PRAY that God will cause
THOUSANDS to come in---we shall be able to survive this seemingly
impossible crisis. We're making GREAT STRIDES now, on TV. We
already have the highest rating in our field. NOW is the time to
make EXTRA effort---EXTRA sacrifice---STIR YOUR HEARTS---GET TO
YOUR KNEES---PRAY!
Most URGENTLY, in Jesus' name,
