“I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications…be made for all men…For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; who will have all men to be saved, and to come to the knowledge of the truth” (1 Tim 2:1-4). During the English Keswick Week of 1925, Irish evangelist W.P. Nicholson was preaching the gospel in the Market Square. In the audience one night was a missionary on furlough from West Africa. To a man standing beside him, he spoke a word of invitation; the only reply he received was a severe blow on the face. That night, this man’s conversion was earnestly prayed for. The next night, the missionary, while sitting in the Skiddaw Street Tent, became conscious that the man seated next to him was in spiritual distress. Turning to speak to him, he found the same man who, the night before, had struck him on the face. A little later it was the missionary’s joy to lead this man into the light and liberty of salvation in Christ. Does God answer prayer?
