great supplicators... great seers

Without prayer life is not a success. Prayer is just as necessary as work. Working without prayer is a form of atheism which takes no cognizance of God.

“Those who go farthest on in the school of prayer and learn most of its hidden secrets often develop a sort of prescience which comes nearest to the prophetic spirit, the Holy Spirit showing them ‘things to come.’ They seem, like Savonarola, to know something of the purpose of God, to anticipate His plans, and to forecast the history of their own times. The great supplicators have been also the great seers” (Arthur T. Pierson).
