 Mark.1: 35. And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he
went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed.
As
believers it’s imperative that we follow the example of Yeshua Messiah
(a.k.a. Jesus the Christ) who lived a prayer filled life; He
consistently departed into a solitary place to pray. The answers to all
of life’s challenging questions, and the
ability / power to overcome every tests and trials that one faces today
can only obtained through a life of prayer and fasting.
There is a
universal cry for leadership (Political & Spiritual), also cries for
employment, financial resolution, cries for the cures for sickness and
diseases, and also the restoration and preservation of family values and
morals.
It is imperative that we, (The Church, the ekklesia,
ek-klay-see'-ah;) frequent that solitary place of prayer so that we can
hear from God.
In the natural realm it may appears as if the
enemy / kingdom of darkness is prevailing due to the havoc that’s being
wreaked through various communities. Whereas in the spirit realm the
enemy / kingdom of darkness has already been defeated; it’s just a
matter of the church spending time in that solitary place where God
reveals wisdom and strategy for living the victories / abundant life
that Yeshua spoke of in John.10:10.
Yeshua
Messiah was a man of prayer thereby He was in constant communication
with His Father; which enabled Him to make statements such as:
“John.8:38. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father”
“John.11:41.
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid.
And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, “Father, I thank thee that thou
hast heard me.
: 42. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but
because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe
that thou hast sent me”
As a believer; withdrawing from the
crowd to that solitary place of prayer accompanied with fasting will
always result in the greater works spoken of by Yeshua ( John.14:12).
How much more of this greater works would be manifested throughout our
communities when two or three come into a committed agreement of
spending time in that solitary place
of prayer?
Watch this !
Lk.5:15. But so much the more went
there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear,
and to be healed by him of their infirmities.
: 16. And he withdrew himself into the wilderness, and prayed.
It’s
good when the church comes together in corporate worship, conferences,
seminars, workshops, etc; but nothing takes the place of that personal,
quality time that’s spent in prayer at the solitary place.
Prayer
is one of the most powerful weapon that a believers has at his / her
disposal, through prayer great things are accomplished.
Watch this ! The prophet Elijah got a word from the Lord for the King:
1Kings.18:1.
And it came to pass after many days, that the word of the LORD came to
Elijah in the third year, saying, Go, show thyself unto Ahab; and I will
send rain upon the earth.
After delivering the word to the King, the
prophet went and prayed for the manifestation of the word he delivered (: 42)
1Kings.18: 41. And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.
:
42. So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Elijah went up to the top
of Carmel; and he cast himself down upon the earth, and put his face
between his knees,
In that solitary place the righteous prayer life is developed and becomes dynamic in its working.
Amplified Bible:
James.5:16b:
The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes
tremendous power available [ Dynamic in its working]
: 17. Elijah
was a human being with a nature such as we have [ with feelings,
affections, and a constitution like ours]; and he prayed earnestly for
it not to rain, and no rain fell on the earth for three years and six
months.
No matter what you’re facing in life; the answer to all of your unanswered
questions awaits you in that solitary place.
