Who will answer the call?
All night… No sleep… Spending time alone in the presence of the Father. This is where ministry begins. Prayer.
Jesus spent much time alone in prayer, much time. Not just here or there, not just the weekly prayer meeting at the church, not just at every meal or event. No Jesus lived a life of prayer, often all night alone in prayer. This is where purity of thought and purpose is born, this is where hearts are transformed, this is where power is endowed. Prayer, for hours.
Who will answer the call of the Father today to enter into this life of prayer? Who will stay on their knees all night seeking God’s way? Who will take time to wait in the Lord? It is so much easier to attend seminars, go to class, read books, listen to videos, and get a good night’s sleep. But God looks for the ones willing to seek Him and Him alone, those who do not rely on man’s ways, those who know that God’s power and presence is always the only answer. He seeks those willing to spend all night in prayer.
Are you troubled? Do you need a touch from God in your life? In your ministry? In your family? The answer is found in prayer… earnest, heartfelt, honest, continual prayer.
Who will answer God’s call? Who will climb the mountain and spend the night seeking God? Not for an hour, not for an evening, but until there is an answer from heaven.
