Hidden Sin - Part 5 — Joshua Daniel

Responsibility for Neglected Prayer

Never spoke to this father. What are you doing with your son? Nor did I pray for him. And now I hear he's dead. Quite an untimely death. My dear people, do you relate anything to your own negativity and your own failure in your prayer?

David's Repentance and Responsibility for Sin

What did King David say? Let's look at that again. First Samuel, please. Second Samuel, sorry. Twenty-four. And the seventeenth verse. These sheep, what have they done? I and my house. I let thine hand, I pray you, be against me and against my father's house.

No, I have sinned. A plague had gone out amongst the people. And many had died. And King David repents. King David repents. You know, you and I have got to take some responsibility. Why are there areas in this world where Jesus is not known?

With a lot of glass and paint and stuff. Not all their pleasures can wipe away one tear. Not all their gold can bring their family back together. Only Jesus can do that. Only the gospel can do that. The fact is, you don't have the gospel.

Prayer as the Answer to Spiritual Indifference

You don't have the spirit of prayer. And you are saying, this is all that we can do. There is such indifference. And people don't want to listen. You know, a famous member of parliament. A man well known in England at that time.

The Failure to Communicate the Gospel

He chaired one of my meetings. And after I had spoken, he was asked to make the closing chairman's remarks. And he said, he did not even get up from his chair. He whispered to the organizer, the leader.

After a message like this, nothing should be spoken. Nothing should be spoken. And following that meeting, some of the journalists there, the newsmen had been called. They said to me, Now, how do you solve this problem in Britain?

The common man is not interested. How do you communicate with him? I said, Now,.
