Still Faithful: George Muller's Prayer-Hearing God

Still Faithful: George Muller's Prayer-Hearing God
​Author: Steve Burchett

​The living, eternal Lord always came through for George Muller. He cared for over 10,000 orphans throughout his life in Bristol, England, but he made his needs known only to God. He believed God answered over 50,000 of his prayers. One of Muller’s hopes in trusting God this way and in meticulous record-keeping of answers to prayer was to strengthen the faith of other believers and to inspire them to more prayer. He explains this goal:

The experience of this happiness I desire for all my Christian readers. If you believed indeed in the Lord Jesus for the salvation of your soul, if you walk uprightly and do not regard iniquity in your heart, if you continue to wait patiently, and believingly upon God; then answers will surely be given to your prayers. You may not be called upon to serve the Lord in the way the writer does, and therefore may never have answers to prayer respecting such things as are recorded here; but, in your various circumstances, your family, your business, your profession, your church position, your labor for the Lord, etc., you may have answers as distinct as any here recorded.[2]

One story Muller documented about a broken down boiler in the orphanage has strengthened the faith of believers for over a century:

It was towards the end of November of 1857, when I was most unexpectedly informed that the boiler of our heating apparatus at No. 1 leaked very considerably, so that it was impossible to go through the winter with such a leak…

The boiler is entirely surrounded by brickwork; its state, therefore, could not be known without taking down the brickwork; this, if needless, would be rather injurious to the boiler, than otherwise…

What then was to be done? For the children, especially the younger infants, I felt deeply concerned, that they might not suffer, through want of warmth. But how were we to obtain warmth? The introduction of the new boiler would, in all probability, take many weeks. The repairing of the boiler was a questionable matter, on account of the greatness of the leak; but, if not, nothing could be said of it, till the brick-chamber in which it is enclosed, was, at least in part, removed; but that would, at least, as far as we could judge, take days; and what was to be done in the meantime, to find warm rooms for 300 children?

There were no reasonable alternative means of heating. Now what?

At last I determined on falling entirely into the hands of God, who is very merciful and of tender compassion, and I decided on having the brick-chamber opened, to see the extent of the damage, and whether the boiler might be repaired, so as to carry us through the winter.

The day was fixed, when the workmen were to come… The fire, of course, had to be let out while the repairs were going on… After the day was fixed for the repairs a bleak North wind set in. It began to blow either on Thursday or Friday before the Wednesday afternoon, when the fire was to be let out. Now came the first really cold weather, which we had in the beginning of that winter, during the first days of December. What was to be done? The repairs could not be put off. I now asked the Lord for two things, viz., that He would be pleased to change the north wind into a south wind, and that He would give the workmen ‘a mind to work’; for I remembered how much Nehemiah accomplished in 52 days, whilst building the walls of Jerusalem, because ‘the people had a mind to work.’ Well, the memorable day came. The evening before, the bleak north wind blew still; but, on Wednesday, the south wind blew: exactly as I had prayed. The weather was so mild that no fire was needed. The brickwork is removed, the leak is found out very soon, the boiler makers begin to repair in good earnest.

That evening, a boss of the workers arrived to see how the work was progressing and to potentially speed it along. Amazingly, the workers decided to work through the night.

Then remembered I the second part of my prayer, that God would give the men ‘a mind to work.’ Thus it was: by the morning the repair was accomplished, the leak was stopped, though with great difficulty, and within about 30 hours the brickwork was up again, and the fire in the boiler; and all the time the south wind blew so mildly, that there was not the least need of a fire.

Here, then, is one of our difficulties which was overcome by prayer and faith.

“Then they cried to the Lord in their trouble, and he delivered them from their distress.” (Psalm 107:6, 13, 19, 28)

“Some of you have read the words of that aged saint who, on his ninetieth birthday, told of all God’s goodness to him—I mean George Muller. What did he say he believed to be the secret of his happiness, and of all the blessing which God had given him? He said he believed there were two reasons. The one was that he had been enabled by grace to maintain a good conscience before God day by day; the other was, that he was a lover of God’s Word. Ah, yes, a good conscience is complete obedience to God day by day, and fellowship with God every day in His Word, and prayer—that is a life of absolute surrender." - Andrew Murray

Hudson Taylor: Source Of Power

Hudson Taylor
​Hudson Taylor is one of the most famous missionaries in human history. The mission he led to China changed the Chinese church forever, leading to thousands converted in his time and the creation of a mission agency that is still around today, Overseas Mission Fellowship. He took the revolutionary route of not forcing western culture on the people he was trying to reach out to, but to adopt the customs that were not against God’s word such as hair styles and dress. This helped change the mission field forever as missionaries became less cultural missionaries and more Gospel missionaries.

In this episode, Hudson Taylor explains the source of power available to all Christians to do God’s will for them in their lives. He also encourages us to live a life filled with purpose to win lost souls to Christ.

​“Win, and woo, and fill completely,
Till the cup o’erflow the brim;
What have we to do with idols
Who have companied with Him?”
​GEORGE MÜLLER, born in 1805, died in 1898, yet he is one of the deathless names fragrant with the love of Christ, and diffusing influence far and wide. His saintless, sanity, and wonderful work for orphans are a witness still, and a real evidence of the love of the living God. Never will this witness be out-of-date; it is as forceful in its appeal for trust to-day as it was in 1834. Especially was he eminent for his life of prayer, and by this he remembered by some who have but a vague idea of his other labours. George Müller stood to his generation as he does to us, for prayer and faith as essentials of the holy life and triumphant happiness. To all time the five great stone buildings on Ashley Down bear testimony that God hears true prayer and desires and deserves to be fully trusted. George Müller prayed about everything, and tells us that one day in early manhood he watched a friend mending one of the quill pens then in use. “Do you pray to God when you mend your pen?” he asked. “It would be as well to do so, but I cannot say that I do,” was the response. “I always do,” remarked Mr. Müller; “I mend my pen so much better.”

Later on, he was seeing some missionaries to the ship, and watched their luggage being packed into the cab. He himself counted seventeen articles, but when the cab was departing from the quay, but for his vigilance, the driver would have gone off with most of the luggage. He reflects, “Such a circumstance should teach one to make the very smallest affair a subject of prayer, as, for instance, that all the luggage might be got out of a fly.”
