The second paragraph of this account relates the 4 stages of <u>all
steps</u><span style="text-decoration: none;"> in the life of George
Muller: </span><u>much prayer</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">;
</span><u>meditation on the Word</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">;
</span><u>searching of his own heart</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">;
and </span><u>patient waiting to know the mind of God</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">.
As a result, 50,000 </span><u>exact answers</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
to prayer came in the next 60 years, amounting financially to over $8
million prior to 1900 in the support of 10,000 orphans; plus the
various divisions of “The Scriptural Knowledge Institute for Home
and Abroad”. </span>

<span style="text-decoration: none;">The reason I share this, that it
might encourage great carefulness in what we pray for. Rees Howells
only prayed for those things that the Spirit laid on his heart after
the same type of care to accurately ascertain the Will of God -
before launching out in the prayer of faith. I fear many today take
a desire, and then make declarations of faith on the basis of this
desire, without </span><u>first</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
using the 4 careful steps of George Muller. His prayers and those of
Rees Howells were </span><u>always</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
answered in most extraordinary ways. They both believed 1 John

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">On February 20, 1834, George
Muller was led of God to sow the seed of what ultimately developed
into a great means of good, known as “The Scriptural Knowledge
Institution, for Home and Abroad.” As in all other steps of his
life, this was the result of much prayer, meditation on the Word,
searching of his own heart, and patient waiting to know the mind of
God.</font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;">A
brief statement of the reasons for founding such an institution, and
the principles on which it was based, will be helpful at this point.
Motives of conscience controlled Mr. Muller and Mr. Craik in starting
a new work rather than in uniting with existing societies already
established for missionary purposes, Bible and tract distribution,
and for the promotion of Christian schools. As they had sought to
conform personal life and church conduct wholly to the scriptural
pattern, they felt that all work for God should be carefully carried
on in exact accordance with His known will, in order to have His
fullest blessing. Many features of the existing societies seemed to
them </span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">extra</span></i></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">-scriptural,
if not decidedly anti-scriptural, and these they felt constrained to
avoid.</span></span></font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none;" align="LEFT">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="LEFT">
<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">For
example, they felt that the end</span></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">
proposed</span></i></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
by such organizations, namely, </span></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">the
conversion of the world</span></i></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
in this dispensation, was not justified by the Word, which everywhere
represents this as the age of the outgathering of</span></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">
the church</span></i></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
from the world, and not the ingathering</span></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">
of the world</span></i></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
into the church. To set such an end before themselves as the world's
conversion would therefore not only be unwarranted by Scripture, but
delusive and disappointing, disheartening God's servants by the
failure to realize the result, and dishonoring to God Himself by
making Him to appear unfaithful.</span></span></font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Again,
these existing societies seemed to Mr. Muller and Mr. Craik to
sustain a </span></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">wrong
relation to the world</span></i></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
- mixed up with it, instead of separate from it. Any one by paying a
certain fixed sum of money might become a member or even a director,
having a voice or vote in the conduct of affairs and becoming
eligible to office. Unscriptural means were commonly used to </span></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">raise
money</span></i></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">,
such as appealing for aid to unconverted persons, asking for
donations simply for money's sake and without regard to the character
of the donors or the manner in which the money was obtained. The
custom of </span></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">seeking
patronage</span></i></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
from men of the world and asking such to preside at public meetings,
and the habit of </span></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">contracting
debts</span></i></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">,
- these and some other methods of management seemed so unscriptural
and unspiritual that the founders of this new institution could not
with a good conscience give them sanction. Hence they hoped that by
basing their work upon thoroughly biblical principles they might
secure many blessed results.</span></span></font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">First of all, they confidently
believed that the work of the Lord could be best and most
successfully carried on within the landmarks and limits set up in His
word; that the fact of thus carrying it on would give boldness in
prayer and confidence in labor. But they also desired the work itself
to be a witness to the living God, and a testimony to believers, by
calling attention to the objectionable methods already in use and
encouraging all God's true servants in adhering to the principles and
practices which He has sanctioned.</font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">3. Pecuniary aid, or help in

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none;" align="LEFT">

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">To
project such a work, on such a scale, and at such a time, was doubly
an act of faith; for not only was the work already in hand enough to
tax all available time and strength, but at this very time this
record appears in Mr. Muller's journal: “</span></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">We
have only one shilling left.” </span></i></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Surely
no advance step would have been taken, had not the eyes been turned,
not on the empty purse, but on the full and exhaustless treasury of a

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">It
was plainly God's purpose that, out of such abundance of poverty, the
riches of His liberality should be manifested. It pleased Him, from
whom and by whom are all things, that the work should be begun when
His servants were poorest and weakest, that its growth to such giant
proportions might the more prove it to be a plant of His own right
hand's planting, and that His word might be fulfilled in its whole
history: </span></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><b>Isaiah

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Whatever
may be thought as to the need of such a new organization, or as to
such scruples as moved its founders to insist even in minor matters
upon the closest adherence to scripture teaching, this at least is
plain, that for more than half a century it has stood upon its
original foundation, and its increase and usefulness have surpassed
the most enthusiastic dreams of its founders; nor have the principles
first avowed ever been abandoned. With the Living God as its sole
patron, and prayer as its only appeal, it has attained vast
proportions, and its world-wide work has been signally owned and
blessed.</span></span></font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">On March19th Mrs. Muller gave
birth to a son, to the great joy of his parents; and, after much
prayer, they gave him the name of Elijah - “My God is Jah” - the
name itself being one of George Muller's life-mottoes. Up to this
time the families of Mr. Muller and Mr. Craik had dwelt under one
roof, but henceforth it was thought wise that they should have
separate lodgings.</font></p>

usual backward glance was cast over the Lord's leadings and dealings,
Mr. Muller gratefully recognized the divine goodness which had thus
helped him to start upon its career the work with its several
departments. Looking to the Lord alone for light and help, he had
laid the corner-stone of this “little institution”; and in
October, after only seven months' existence, it had already begun to
be established. In the Sunday-school there were one hundred and
twenty children; in the adult classes, forty; in the four
day-schools, two hundred and nine boys and girls; four hundred
eighty-two Bibles and five hundred and twenty Testaments had been put
into circulation, and fifty-seven pounds had been spent in aid of
missionary operations. During these seven months the Lord had sent,
in answer to prayer, over one hundred and sixty-seven pounds in
money, and much blessing upon the work itself. The brothers and
sisters who were in charge had likewise been given by the same
prayer-hearing God, in direct response to the cry of need and the
supplication of faith.</font></p>

object</span></i></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">
was coming into greater prominence before the mind and heart of Mr.
Muller: it was the thought of </span></span></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><i><span style="text-decoration: none;">making
some permanent provision for fatherless and motherless children</span></i></font><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">.</span></span></font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">An orphan boy who had been in
the school had been taken to the poorhouse, not longer able to attend
on account of extreme poverty; and this little incident set Mr.
Muller thinking and praying about orphans. Could not something be
done to meet the temporal and spiritual wants of this class of very
poor children? Unconsciously to himself, God had set a seed in his
soul, and was watching and watering it. The idea of a definite orphan
work had taken root within him, and, like any other living germ, it
was springing up and growing, he knew not how. As yet it was only in
the blade, but in time there would come the ear and the full-grown
corn in the ear, the new seed of a larger harvest.</font></p>

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">Meanwhile the church was
growing. In these two and a half years over two hundred had been
added, making the total membership two hundred and fifty-seven; but
the enlargement of the work generally neither caused the church life
to be neglected or any one department of duty to suffer declension -
a very noticeable fact in this history.</font></p>

He himself is in his thirtieth year, the age when his divine Master
began to be fully manifest to the world and to go about doing good.
Through the preparatory steps and stages leading up to his complete
mission and ministry to the church and the world, Christ's humble
disciple has likewise been brought, and his fuller career of
usefulness now begins, with the various agencies in operation whereby
for more than threescore years he was to show both proof and example
of what God can do through one man who is willing to be simply the
instrument for Him to work with. Nothing is more marked in George
Muller, to the very day of his death, than this, that he so looked to
God and leaned on God that he felt himself to be nothing, and God
everything. He sought to be always and in all things surrendered as a
passive tool to the will and hand of the Master Workman.</span></span></font></p>

Here, halting and looking backward, we may take in at a glance the
