- Daniel
Nash: Prevailing Prince of Prayer
The great evangelist,
Charles Finney, left his itinerant ministry for the pastorate within
three or four months after this man's death. Finney never counted
on his theology, messages, preaching style, logic, or methods to save
souls. He looked rather to mighty prayer and the resulting powerful
work of the Holy Spirit to sweep in with great conviction on his audience,
that his conversions might be thorough. This may well explain why
80 per cent of those converted in his meetings stood the test of time.
Years later Moody followed a similar pattern but without such a prayer
warrior. He saw perhaps 50 per cent of his converts last. Today, a
well-known evangelist (well-financed and highly organized) recently
stated that he would be delighted if 20 per cent of his converts were
genuinely converted. In this day of apostasy with many decisions but
few true conversions, with many programs but little prayer, with much
organizing but little agonizing, we would be wise to learn lessons
from the past. One of our godly forefathers whose life can teach us
such is Daniel Nash.
