"When thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees, then thou shalt bestir thyself" (2 Samuel 5: 24).
The members of Christ's Church should be very prayerful, always seeking the anointing of the Holy One to rest upon their hearts, that the Kingdom of Christ may come, and that His "will be done on earth, even as it is in heaven" (Matthew 6: 10). There are times when God seems especially to favor Zion. Such seasons ought to be to them like "the sound of a going in the tops of mulberry trees." We should be doubly prayerful, doubly earnest, wrestling more at the throne than has been our habit. Oh, for Pentecostal outpourings and Pentecostal labors! Christian, in yourself there are times "when thou hearest the sound of a going in the tops of the mulberry trees." You have a peculiar power in prayer. The Spirit of God gives you joy and gladness. The Scriptures is open to you. The promises are applied. You walk in the light of God's face. You have a peculiar freedom and liberty in devotion and a closer communion with Christ. Now, at such joyous periods, is the time to rouse yourself. Now is the time to get rid of any evil habit, while God the Spirit helps your infirmities.
