Luke 22
Inspired thots
The crucial moments of Jesus' life at the end reveals the amazing truth of the POWER of PRAYER!
Jesus demonstrated it when He goes out alone to the hills to pray and be strengthened for the next course of events. Jesus said,"Pray that you may not enter into temptation." (v40) Hence, temptations to sin will come; our weapon of victory is PRAYER.
Praying keeps us alert and strong to resist and overcome temptations that would bring us down in faith; Peter failed to overcome the denial temptation due to lack of prayer although Jesus took him along to pray. Judas lacked prayer to a more intimate relationship with Jesus that betrayal was easy with greed overcoming his conscience. The chief priests and leaders did not overcome their unbelief with insincerity of faith. A lack of prayer causes one's faith to go astray. As we pray, we check our hearts with God's heart.
A daily time out with the Lord Jesus, to hear Him speak to ME. I am asking the Lord to share HIS thoughts with ME, to teach me more about Himself, and how I can be drawn closer to Him... for 'His thoughts are not my thoughts and neither are His ways my ways' Isaiah 55:8,9. This blog is not a theological exegesis. This blog is to record down the INSIGHTS & INSPIRATIONS of God's Word to me; speaking LIFE into my life for Abundant life! :)
