Editorial
he Day of the Lord
Go ye, therefore, into all the
world and proclaim the word of the Lord:
I am bringing salvation and
repentance and reconciliation and surrender to all parts of
the land and all inhabitants thereof.
They will have this opportunity to
receive my forgiveness and begin again. I will wipe each slate
clean with the fresh-spilt Blood of the Lamb and will set each
captive free, and will place each beginner on the path of
their destiny.
For this is the long-awaited Day of
the Lord.
Come, each one, into my presence.
Bask, each one, in the light of my glory. Raise, each one,
your arms to heaven and receive, each one, the gift of my
love. For you

cannot ascend to its height,
neither can you descend to the depths of the love I have for
you.
Come, bask, praise, and receive,
for this is the Day of the
Lord.

In 1857 America was in
crisis. What had begun as a cultural divide over slavery
had deepened into a spiritual rift. Had God created
blacks to have the same self-evident rights to life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as whites? Or did
He intend them to be intelligent beasts of burden, put
on earth to serve whites? Hearts North and South had so
hardened over this question that resolution by force of
arms seemed inevitable.
Then the stock market crashed, the economy collapsed,
multitudes were thrown out of work, and no one had any
answers.
But one man thought God might.
Jeremiah Lanphier invited men in the business
district of New York City to gather for prayer at Noon
on Wednesdays. The first Wednesday, there were six. The
second Wednesday, twenty. The third Wednesday, forty.
The Great Men’s Prayer Revival of 1857 had begun.
Today America is again in crisis. The cultural divide
has become a spiritual rift. No one has any answers. But
perhaps God does.
What if – we were to accept the challenge of
Jeremiah’s example? What if we were to go and do
likewise?

A few men have begun to meet for prayer at
Tremont Temple at
Noon on Wednesdays.
Join us.
Jeremiah’s Rules
1. All who desire to seek
the face of God in meekness and humility are welcome.
2. Come to pray, not to
preach or proselytize, or be entertained. Just to pray.
3. Avoid controversial
subjects and divisive prayers. Ask God to guide your
prayers.
4. As you pray, be
sensitive to those around you, who might not come from
the same prayer tradition as you.
5. Prayer requests and
praise for answered prayer are welcome, as are reports
of what the Lord is doing elsewhere. Exhortations are
also welcome, but no more than two in a row, and none
should exceed five minutes. A bell can be rung to
announce the next person’s turn.
6. Promptness is vital. The
hour should begin at Noon and end at one. If you can
give Him the whole hour, fine. If you can stay only a
few minutes, that is also fine. Linger afterwards if you
care to, but the closing benediction will be at one.
7. Throughout, be sensitive
to the leading of the Spirit of God. It is His hour, not
ours; we’ve come to please Him, not ourselves.
Guiding
Principles
For he was looking for the city with
foundations, whose architect and builder is God.
