God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

16 July 1842: I feel that, unless the soul be saturated with prayer and faith, little good may be expected from preaching. 4 September 1842: Prayer should be the main business of every day. 22 February 1846: God will not let me preach with power when I am not much in Him. More than ever do I feel that I should be as much an intercessor as a preacher of the Word. 4 June 1848: It is praying much that makes preaching felt. 29 December 1849: My chief desire should be . . . to be a man of prayer, for there is no want of speaking and writing and preaching and teaching and warning, but there is need of the Holy Spirit to make all this effectual. 21 February 1862: I am convinced that living in the spirit of prayer from hour to hour is what brings down the blessing. 9 September 1876: A time of impotence rising from want of much prayer. Nothing but constant intercourse with the Lord will carry on the soul. I got last Saturday set apart as a day of prayer; and I trace much of my help to that day. 22 June 1878: Ask much, for this is the way to grow rich. 12 May 1888: Found time to give the whole of this day entirely to prayer and meditation. There will be fruit of it to me and my people.

Music is hateful and intolerable to the devil. I truly believe, and do not mind saying, that there is no art like music, next to theology. It is the only art, next to theology, that can calm the agitations of the soul, which plainly shows that the devil, the source of anxiety and sadness, flees from the sound of music as he does from religious worship. That is why the Scriptures are full of psalms and hymns, in which praise is given to God. That is why, when we gather round God’s throne in heaven, we shall sing His glory. Music is the perfect way to express our love and devotion to God. It is one of the most magnificent and delightful presents God has given us.

INSTRUCTIONS

This is the good part. Saute onions and garlic in water till starting
to turn yellow, add all other ingredients in a large pot with 2 1/2
cups of water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer an hour (or
until peas are tender) and then puree in a blender. That's it!  Serve
as a main meal with whole wheat pita bread. For a variation,  sprinkle
fresh ripe diced tomato on top of soup (or this can be  blended in
earlier). For those who remember the days when pea soup  used to have
hm or bc*n in it, soy baco-bits, sprinkled in just  before serving,
brings back that aura.  Makes 6 - 12 ounce servings. Each: 259
