    In Romans 11:29, says the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.  Mike Warnke , put it this way, “When God calls you he is not sorry.”  Daniel Nash often came to preach, act as moderator, baptize converts, and hold communion over the next several years!  The ministry that followed, there was a second move of revival (1822-23) where over 200 were converted. This occurred in a township of only 308 homes with a population of approximately 2,000 people!   God gave Daniel a revival and through all of this God was breaking and preparing the heart of His to become a man of prayer.  The rejection by those he loved and had ministered to however crush him, and by 1824 he was so damaged spiritually that any human hope of a prayer ministry seemed impossible.  Remember Elijah, God found him on the backside of the desert before God could talked to him.  In the furnace of rejection often comes the purest gold.

     Many of the great intercessors start with very humble beginnings.  Daniel Nash, was born November 27, 1775, and by November 11, 1816, at the age of 40 he had was the pastorate of the Stow’s Square Congregational-Presbyterian Church, Lowville Township. He had moved there from Onondaga County near Syracuse, and had a farm at least by 1825.  During his first year of pastoring this union church, he saw Revival with at least 70 being converted.  . One of the first he baptized was a Sally Porter to whom he was married by February of 1817.  There was a split in the church and they moved to a location to a community four miles away.  Nash worked over the next few years trying to heal the breach.  He was able to start a Sabbath School in the union church.  On September 25, 1822, he was voted out by a vote of nine to three!   The reasons for the vote was they wanted “a young man to settle in.” At the age of 46 they felt him too old, and resented his traveling.  Daniel was then free to do what he wanted to do most pray and travel even though at the time he did not see it that way.  Sometimes unfortunate circumstances are actually God’s launching point for greater a greater work and prayer is the greatest work.

     This next series of Vignettes is on a personal hero of mine.  He is called the Prince of prevailing prayer.  His name is Daniel Nash.  Daniel Nash (1775-1831) pastored a small church in a remote part of New York for six years, and traveled with and prayed for a traveling evangelist for seven more years until his death.   He never ministered outside the region of upstate New York which was no more than farms and small communities.. His grave is in a neglected cemetery along a dirt road behind a livestock auction barn. His church no longer exists, its location marked by a historical marker in a corn field.  No books tell his life story, no pictures or diaries can be found, and his messages are forgotten. He wrote no books, started no schools and led no movements.  His only claim to fame is that he was a man of prayer.  He was the man who behind the scenes prayed in some of the greatest evangelistic campaigns in North America.  A quick lesson most great intercessors are ones no one knows about.    The information on Daniel Nash comes from a essay wrote on his life by J Paul Reno
