Glenn Clark - from pinterest.com On pages 147-148, Glenn Clark reveals one of his great discoveries in prayer: "Lord, if it is the Divine Plan for me to step into the Kingdom of Heaven when I reach the age of forty-two, then, Lord, if it is not asking too much, could you grant me the unspeakable privilege of stepping into the Kingdom of Heaven right here on earth? Your only begotten son came to earth to tell us all about the Kingdom. He said to seek it first and that it was right here within us. We don't have to die in our physical selves to start living in it."
What followed that prayer was a series of important revelations of the secrets of "prevalent prayer." They are identified on p. 160-162 with discoveries made in a prayer group.
"We perceived that petitionary prayer is a weak instrument in most of our hands because of the selfish motives that are usually associated with it, and the weak and flabby faith with which it is usually uttered. To lift our faith from a state of mere believing to a state of actual knowing--that was our problem. ...all we needed to do was to lift our own consciousness to a state of positive assurance that all was well. ...the first ingredient necessary for all true prayer was Faith that amounted to absolute Knowing, a faith so complete that it filled our entire being; and now we were led to our second great discovery, and that was that Love is the most powerful of all ingredients in all true prayer. ...
[Finally, for prayers that prevailed] "it thrilled me to think how happy [those we prayed for] would be when they got cured."
"So that was our third great discovery. Next to a positive Faith and sincere Love, radiant Joy seems to be the chief ingredient necessary for prevailing prayer."
