When is the Last time you spent some time with Jesus?



Scripture: Matthew 14:23 "Jesus went up into a mountain apart to pray."

This scripture is sandwiched in between two mighty miracles.
In the first miracle, Jesus fed over 5000 people with only five loaves of bread and two fish.
Within just a few hours, He preformed another miracle by walking on the water.
Could we say as the people did in Matthew 13:54, "Where did this Man get this wisdom and these miraculous powers?"
Jesus answers this question in John 5:19-20 when He says, "The Son can do nothing by Himself;
He can do only what He sees His Father doing ... For the Father loves the Son and will show Him what He is doing."

Even though Jesus was God the Son, when He came to Earth He was the "Word made flesh" (John 1:14).
He emptied Himself and took on the form of a mere man and could only do what the Spirit of God anointed Him to do (Philippians 2:6-8).
Jesus did not take advantage of His divine nature, but instead He completely abandoned Himself into the hands of God.
He depended on God the Father to show Him what to do and to anoint Him to do it.
Acts 10:38 says, "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power,
Who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil: for God was with Him."

He left us with the same power His Father Anointed Him with (The Holy Spirit). He found comfort alone in Prayer.
When is the Last time you spent some time with Jesus?
Could all the things in the worlds turmoil be overcome if we all made an effort each day in prayer.
Prayer can move mountains, Stop and help Our world move mountains to those who are suffering.
Pray for discernment and wisdom for our leaders.

Too often we find ourselves too busy to spend time with God.
We begin to experience a great lack in our study of God's word and prayer time
and then find ourselves trying to rely on yesterday's revelation and yesterday's anointing.
We must recall the secret that Jesus held.
He found wisdom and power in the solitary place called prayer.

May He Bless You and Keep You Today!

With Great Love
IN HIS SERVICE
