ANDREW MURRAY

In Like a Christ Andrew Murray presents 31 chapters a true manual of Christian life. This is an essential book for you who want to follow the footsteps of Jesus.And now I entrust the little book to the gracious care of the blessed Lord of whose glory it seeks to tell May He give us to see that there is no beauty or blessedness like that of a Christ-like life. May He teach us to believe that in union with Him the Christ-like life is indeed for us. And as each day we listen to what His Word tells us of His image, may each one of us have grace to say, "O my Father! even as Thy beloved Son lived in Thee, with Thee, for Thee on earth, even so would I also live."Andrew Murray

God has worked into every human heart a deep desire for perfection. That desire is manifested in the admiration which all men have for excellence in the different objects or pursuits to which they attach value. In the believer who yields himself wholly to God, this desire fastens itself upon Gods wonderful promises, and inspires a prayer like that of MCheyne: "Lord, make me as holy as a pardoned sinner can be made."The more we learn to desire this full conformity to Gods will, for the consciousness that we are always pleasing to Him, we will see that all this must come as a gift direct from heaven. This gift is the full outbirth in us of the life of God, the inbreathing of the Holy Spirit of Jesus in those who are wholly yielded to His indwelling and rule. Trusting ever less to mens thoughts and teachings, we will retire often into the secret of Gods presence, in the assurance that the more we see Gods face, and hear the secret voice that comes direct from Him, "BE PERFECT," the more will the Holy Spirit dwelling within us unfold the heavenly fulness and power of the words, and make them, as Gods words, bring and give and create the very thing He speaks.In the hope that these simple meditations may help some of Gods children to go on to Perfection, I commit them and myself to the Blessed Fathers teaching and keeping.by Andrew Murray

Why Do You Not Believe?, is one devotional about faith and salvation in Christ. Written by Andrew Murray, one of the most important preachers of all time. The book features a daily devotional message of meditation based on the Bible. There are 31 messages that will bless your life and awaken the faith in his heart.

The disciples had been with Christ, and seen Him pray. They had learnt to understand something of the connection between His wondrous life in public, and His secret life of prayer. They had learnt to believe in Him as a Master in the art of prayernone could pray like Him. And so they came to Him with the request, Lord, teach us to pray. And in after years they would have told us that there were few things more wonderful or blessed that He taught them than His lessons on prayer.And now still it comes to pass, as He is praying in a certain place, that disciples who see Him thus engaged feel the need of repeating the same request, Lord, teach us to pray. As we grow in the Christian life, the thought and the faith of the Beloved Master in His never-failing intercession becomes evermore precious, and the hope of being Like Christ in His intercession gains an attractiveness before unknown. And as we see Him pray, and remember that there is none who can pray like Him, and none who can teach like Him, we feel the petition of the disciples, Lord, teach us to pray, is just what we need.

Andrew Murray was a man of prayer, that is, he fully lived his faith in the Lord Jesus and lived fully such practice to the point of intensely proving the power of prayer during his life.His life was a testimony of what God wants to do in each one of us from the moment we decide to live intensely a life of prayer and intimacy with God.In our lives, as in the life of Andrew Murray, the need for prayer arises from the search for a blessing to be achieved, from confession to God, gratitude, petition, or worship.This book invites you to set aside a daily time to seek God, giving your prayers, requests and thanks to the Lord for a personal and genuine experience of faith.The text presents a daily message of meditation on the Word of God regarding prayer, its importance and necessity in our day to day life.

The object of this little book is first of all to remind all Christian workers of the greatness and the glory of the work in which God gives a share. It is nothing less than that work of bringing men back to their God, at which God finds His highest glory and blessedness. As we see that it is Gods own work we have to work out, that He works it through us, that in our doing it His glory rests on us and we glorify Him, we shall count it our joy to give ourselves to live only and wholly for it.The aim of the book at the same time is to help those who complain, and perhaps do not even know to complain, that they are apparently labouring in vain, to find out what may be the cause of so much failure. Gods work must be done in Gods way, and in Gods power. It is spiritual work, to be done by spiritual men, in the power of the Spirit. The clearer our insight into, and the more complete our submission to, Gods laws of work, the surer and the richer will be our joy and our reward in it.Along with this I have had in view the great number of Christians who practically take no real part in the service of their Lord. They have never understood that the chief characteristic of the Divine life in God and Christ is love and its work of blessing men. The Divine life in us can show itself in no other way. I have tried to show that it is Gods will that every believer without exception, whatever be his position in life, gives himself wholly to live and work for God.I have also written in the hope that some, who have the training of others in Christian life and work, may find thoughts that will be of use to them in teaching the imperative duty, the urgent need, the Divine blessedness of a life given to Gods service, and to waken within the consciousness of the power that works in them, even the Spirit and power of Christ Himself.

Andrew Murray (9 May 1828 – 18 January 1917) was a South African writer, teacher and Christian pastor. Murray considered missions to be "the chief end of the church".

Pray Without Ceasing. - Who can do this? How can one do it who is surrounded by the cares of daily life? How can a mother love her child without ceasing? How can the eyelid without ceasing hold itself ready to protect the eye? How can I breathe and feel and hear without ceasing? Because all these are the functions of a healthy, natural life. And so, if the spiritual life be healthy, under the full power of the Holy Spirit, praying without ceasing will be natural. Pray Without Ceasing. - Does it refer to continual acts of prayer, in which we are to persevere till we obtain, or to the spirit of prayerfulness that should animate us all the day? It includes both. The example of our Lord Jesus shows us this. We have to enter our closet for special seasons of prayer; we are at times to persevere there in importunate prayer. We are also all the day to walk in Gods presence, with the whole heart set upon heavenly things. Without set times of prayer, the spirit of prayer will be dull and feeble. Without the continual prayerfulness, the set times will not avail.Pray Without Ceasing. - Does that refer to prayer for ourselves or others? To both. It is because many confine it to themselves that they fail so in practicing it. It is only when the branch gives itself to bear fruit, more fruit, much fruit, that it can live a healthy life, and expect a rich inflow of sap. The death of Christ brought Him to the place of everlasting intercession. Your death with Him to sin and self sets you free from the care of self, and elevates you to the dignity of intercessor - one who can get life and blessing from God for others. Know your calling; begin this your work. Give yourself wholly to it, and before you know it you will be finding something of this "Praying always" within you.
