Daily Encouraging Message:
George Whitefield (1714-1770) literally made himself sick fervently seeking God even to praying in the snow until frostbitten. He was desperately trying to find God's favor in his life. Finally, at the end of himself, very ill, and in desperation, he prayed, "I thirst." When he cried in faith giving up on his own efforts, the Holy Spirit impressed his heart- "George, you have what you have asked." The great joy of true salvation filled his heart and the ministry of the preacher of the great Awakening began. White streaks shown on the faces of hundreds of coal miners as tears of repentance were shed when they trusted Christ as Saviour when he preached. Crowds swelled at Bristol until 23000 gathered to hear the Good News of salvation through the grace of Christ alone.- Do it again Lord Jesus, please.
