Jehovah’s Remembrancers

Isaiah 62:6 “Ye that are Jehovah’s remembrancers, take ye no rest, and give Him no rest, till He establish, and till He make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.”
Here He suggests there are men and women who are “remembrancers”, whose business it is to hold these promises and these statements of fact clearly before the Lord’s mind.
Isaiah 64:7 “And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee; for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us by means of our iniquities.”
Daniel stirred himself up to pray. He gave himself to prayer.
He called God’s attention to the promises He had made through Jeremiah. There would be a restoration of Israel. They should go back again to the promised land. Their captivity in Babylon should end.
Read carefully Daniel 9.
Satan tries to oppose prayer and stand in the way of it.
Read the story of the combat of angels and demons over Daniel recorded in Dan. 10:20.
Jer. 33:3 “Call unto me, and I will answer thee, and will show thee great things, and difficult, which thou knowest not.”
God is challenging our cooperation with Him. in the prayer life. He wants to bless us.
Psalm 78:41 (marginal rendering) “And they turned again and tempted God, and limited the Holy One of Israel.”
We have done that.
We have limited Him with our prayer life.
We have let the great promises of fellowship and cooperation with God go by as untouched, unrealized.
Jesus was not only a teacher of prayer, but He was a prayer.
I wish there had been a record given us of the things for which He prayed and the method of His prayer.
We know that He left the multitudes again and again, to spend sometimes a whole night with His Father in prayer
Whether that was purely for fellowship, or whether He was praying for a lost world, we cannot tell.
