A preacher asked me one time, "Tommy, do you really mean that?"
I said, "You don't know how much I mean that."
"You mean that if you had your way," he continued, "you would really want to
turn every service into a prayer meeting?"
I said, "Oh, yes, because I have a whole lot more to say to Him than I do to
anybody else." I say that because I have never yet seen, heard, or read about
any preaching meeting that triggered a major outbreak of God. Preaching may have
occurred in the process, but the fire broke out first at prayer meetings. It
happened that way on the day of pentecost in the book of Acts, in the Great
Awakenings, on Azusa Street, in Great Britain's New Hebrides Islands, and in
South America.,'
That is why I often tell people in our meetings, "If at some point the whisper
of God's voice to your heart gets louder than my amplified voice up front, then
just tune me out. Find a place where you can go after it with Him. If this whole
auditorium turns into a prayer meeting, then it is possible that your entire
city may be transformed into an altar." I confess to you that this is the very
thing I'm after. How about you?
