(Part 1) The Last Days Workers by John Sung (1941)
John Sung wrote a letter to Rev William Schubert on October 14, 1941:
We have been praying in the Spirit for 113 days now. It is clear that God is leading us step by step as we reap spiritual benefits along the way.
In the past, I viewed the work of the evangelistic bands as of paramount importance. Now, I think that praying is more important. The spiritual realm knows no bounds.
When I pray in the Spirit, I sense that workers in the Last Days must have the following:
1. Total mortification
One must be totally dead to the world, to the flesh and to oneself. It is the Lord and not oneself that lives. Only when the self dies can there be any true gain.
2. Direct revelation from the Lord Himself
It is not good enough just to preach the Word; one must prophesy as well. Not only must Jesus’ revelations be in his heart, they must be formed in him as well.
