The downgrade controversy of our day is that the twentieth century American church has forsaken the historical practice of a daily or weekly prayer meeting. We have all the equipment but no enduement.
This is an outrage! Be not deceived; God is not mocked.
If ever we are to return to historical and biblical christianity, the prayer meeting must become the most popular thing.
Please read this quote from the late and godly Leonard Ravenhill: "Before the Holy Ghost came at Pentecost, they were gathered and prayed for ten days. After the Spirit fell, they 'continued with one accord in the apostles' doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread, and prayer.' Later the apostles said, 'We will give ourselves continually to prayer and the ministry of the Word.' I feel this is the issue in the whole matter. There is little continuance in prayer."
