Receive From God in Times of Prayer
“In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:6-7 WEB)
If you are handling stressful situations, remember to pray in tongues and cast that stress unto the Lord.
We have a tendency to be lazy to pray, and to just power through by our fleshly strength. Prayer is often seen as nice to have, or as a last resort. This is not the best way.
Back then, Jesus had many demands placed on Him. He had to minister to multitudes, and in the natural, that is very tiring.
We know that even Jesus got tired because He fell asleep in the boat, amidst the storm.
Jesus had a special way to recharge after dealing with highly-demanding situations. He spent a lot of time alone in the mountains to spend time with the Father in prayer.
“In these days, he went out to the mountain to pray, and he continued all night in prayer to God. When it was day, he called his disciples, and from them he chose twelve, whom he also named apostles: Simon, whom he also named Peter; Andrew, his brother; James; John; Philip; Bartholomew; Matthew; Thomas; James, the son of Alphaeus; Simon, who was called the Zealot; Judas the son of James; and Judas Iscariot, who also became a traitor. He came down with them, and stood on a level place, with a crowd of his disciples, and a great number of the people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear him and to be healed of their diseases; as well as those who were troubled by unclean spirits, and they were being healed. All the multitude sought to touch him, for power came out of him and healed them all.” (Luke 6:12-19 WEB)
I believe that Jesus loved going to the mountains so that He could be ever so slightly closer to the Father. He missed being next to the Father in Heaven.
Another reason is that the mountain is desolate and with no distractions.
Spend time with God in many hours of prayer, away from your smartphone, and you will see amazing transformations happen.
When Jesus came down from the mountain, He was fully recharged, able to make right decisions quickly, and the power of the Holy Spirit easily flowed out from Him. Everyone who heard Jesus and touched Him received healing.
When handling stressful situations, if you do not pray, you will be drained. Even if you do not feel like it at first, spend time praying in tongues and with the understanding. Wake up an hour earlier if you have no time.
You will emerge from these sessions full of the anointing upon you, enabling you to handle the demands easily by God’s power and wisdom.
“But this is what has been spoken through the prophet Joel: ‘It will be in the last days, says God, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old men will dream dreams. Yes, and on my servants and on my handmaidens in those days, I will pour out my Spirit, and they will prophesy.” (Acts 2:16-18 WEB)
I believe we are in the tail end of the last days, and God is definitely pouring out His Spirit on all flesh. Position yourself to receive prophecy, dreams, and visions from the Lord. Make time to pray!
How do we receive more miracles from God? How does receiving by faith work under the New Covenant of Grace? These questions and more are answered in my book “Messiah’s Miracles: The Power of Having Faith in Jesus Christ” which is available in both digital and paperback formats. Some readers who read it gave great feedback, and I’m excited for you to get it and read too: https://bit.ly/messiahs-miracles
