James Fraser had realised Satan's aim - to cut off communication with God. 'The devil deludes the soul with a sense of defeat, covers it with a thick cloud of darkness and depresses and oppresses the spirit. The result is hindered prayer and unbelief. 'Instead of descending into defeat, the believer needs to have faith - the evidence of things not seen. Satan detests the prayer of faith. He does not much mind rambling carnal prayers, for they do not hurt him much. But if we attain to a definite faith in God for a definite object, it is an authoritative notice for him to quit.' James Fraser wrestled to maintain this definite faith. In the mountains of South-West China, living amongst the people of the Lisu tribe, he began a spiritual battle. They were steeped in centuries of demon worship and had never heard of Jesus. As he struggled with bouts of lonliness and depression, his encounters with the powers of darkness increased his confidence in God and the power of prayer. Though he felt much heartache and disappointment, his prayers for the Lisu were answered. Believers were numbered in their thousands and churches began to spring up as the Lisu spread the Gospel among their own people.|
Calvin L. Bodeutsch from Port Orchard, WA***** ckbodeutsch@msn.com One of a modern day I wanted to learn about missions in China, but what I really learned was the importance of prayer and spiritual warfare. Quotes from Fraser's letters home from the mission field are graduate level disertations on faith, prayer and winning the victory over evil. As I learned about pioneer missionary James O. Fraser, I also learned how weak my prayer life is. This is my top "read," so far, this year. Anne Brown from N.Ireland***** It is a crime to only read this book once! I love to read new material therefore seldom read a book twice. I am now on my fourth reading of this spiritual classic. This book doesn't merely tell of the growth of a work, it tells of the growth of the soul behind the work - therein lies the challenge. |
