When a man really prays it is not a question whether God will hear him or not, He must hear him; not because there is any compulsion in the prayer, but there is a sweet and blessed compulsion in the promise. God has promised to hear prayer and He will perform His promise. As he is the most high and true God, He cannot deny himself. Oh! to think of this; that you, a puny creature, may stand here and speak to God, and through God may move all the worlds. – C.H. Spurgeon

Who Shall Ascend the Hill of God
This is a Bible study where Tim talks about Duncan Campbell and the Hebrides island revivals. Are you hands clean? Is your heart pure? For you to ascend the hill?

He who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not lift up his soul to what is false and does not swear deceitfully.
