• “Faith’s most severe tests come not when we see nothing, but when we see a stunning array of evidence that seems to prove our faith vain.” – Elisabeth Elliot

I visited a prison in Ruanda.It was only a small building, but many prisoners were
sitting outside on the ground.
“Where do you sleep at night?” I asked.
“Half of us sleep inside, the others must stay outside, because there are too many
prisoners.”Some had a banana leaf, others had a branch or an old newspaper to sit
on.It was all so sad.I prayed: “Lord, the fruit of the Spirit is joy.Give me an ocean
of joy to share with these poor fellows.”He did what I asked.I could almost shout
for joy.I told them of a friend whose name is Jesus, who is good and so full of love,
who never leaves you alone.
When I said goodbye, all the prisoners accompanied me to the car.“What do they
say?” I asked my interpreter.She laughed and said: “Old woman, comeback, come
back, and tell us more about Jesus.”(Marching Orders.)

The uppermost tier of beds was built so close to the ceiling that one could not sit
upright on the beds.All about me lay many young girls, courageous, sturdy girls.We
had been talking about guidance in our times.Now one of them said:
“It has certainly been no mistake that God directed my life by way of Ravensbruck.
Here, for the first time, I have really learned to pray.The distress here has taught me
that things are never entirely right in one’s life unless he is completely surrendered to
Jesus.I was always rather pious, but there were areas in my life from which Jesus
was completely excluded.Now He is King in every sphere of my life.”(A Prisoner

for a week.As far as time was concerned, it was possible to add it to my schedule.
But I did not have money for the plane trip.So I asked the Lord for guidance.When
it became clear that He wanted me to go, I wrote immediately to Bermuda saying that

cheques arrived from different people, people who knew nothing of the proposed trip.
And there was just enough money for a return ticket.(Amazing Love.)

Some time ago in San Diego, I met a man who told a story of the power of
intercessory prayer.He had been a heavy drinker, and was finally taken to a
psychopathic hospital.Here he was placed in a room with three other patients, who
did nothing but scream.When night came he was in despair.He prayed but could not
fall asleep while the screams continued.Then suddenly he began to pray for the three
patients, and just as suddenly the screams ceased.

“Not only that,” continued the man, “it seemed as if something broke in me.When I
prayed for others, my own tension was released, and I was free.The next day I had to
under go a psychiatric examination.At its conclusion the doctor said, “There is
nothing wrong with you; you are normal.”I knew that night that I had become a free
man.”
Intercession often adds to its many other blessings the healing of one’s own tension.

  • “How different the world would look, how different the state of our nation would be, if there were more sanctified priestly souls! These are souls who have the power to bless, for they intercede with sanctified hearts. They never begin their daily time of intercessory prayer without having first brought to the cross all that is unholy in their lives, so that their old self can be crucified there with Jesus, the sacrificial Lamb.” – Basilea Schlink
