Do not rely upon your own ability take it to the Lord in prayer

I imagine, all night long there was a prayer meeting going on. You know, if you’re coming to a test…
Here it is. That’s the trouble with the church today; you rely upon your own senses and ability, instead of taking it to the Lord in prayer. That’s right. Today we start to send somebody somewhere, well, you say, we get down and have a little counsel, and meet and say, “We should do this, or go here, or do that.”
But the Bible, in the days before they sent out the apostles, they met together and fasted and prayed. And the Holy Spirit said, “Separate Me Paul and Barnabas.” The Holy Spirit! You notice, not man’s opinion; but the Holy Spirit leading, guiding. Amen. Notice.
Now, prayer meeting, all night, so they had to show what they were made out of. And, brother, every man that professes to be a Christian, sometime or other you’ve got to show what you’re made out of. The devil is going to call your hand.

Daily Bread Psalm 69:13
But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
