The Special Place

  • Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where He prayed. Mark 1:34 NIV

    It was early in the morning as I walked into my little prayer room. After praying for a few minutes I sat in the quiet solitude, mostly wondering how we were going to pay the electric bill this month. Our business had been so slow and we were unsure where God was anymore, yet we still prayed, hoping things would change.

    That was the day that God spoke back. As I sat there I saw a vision of the Lord speaking to me, and He was excited and happy. He said, 'I have prepared you for this day, and you are going to prosper! Now get in there and fight!'. By the end of the week, our finances had turned completely around. This was not faith, or praying and believing. It was just a personal relationship.

    Would Jesus have performed all the miracles that He did if He had not taken the time to pray and listen? Would this have happened to me if I had not taken the time to pray and listen? Find that special place where you can be alone with the Lord. Even when times are bad, go to the special place.

    Prayer: Father, draw my heart to You and speak to me in a way that I understand. Please establish a clear line of communication between us and help me recognize when You are speaking, in the name of Jesus.

It is very important to have a special place set aside where you can go and pray to your Abba Father in secret.  My prayer room is where I do my praying, fasting, Bible devotions and writing. This is my special place to sit at His feet. I still pray all day in all places that I may be, but it is in my prayer room that I have the deepest intimacy with my Abba Father and Jesus as His Spirit leads me and guides me and teaches me great and wonderful things.

Loved the personal relationship picture...it is so dear.  How more simpler can it get!  Religion must be the devil's ploy to all from the truth .....lies like ..I have perfect attendance at church or I teach Sunday School or I am the head singer in the worship team etc. The picture of being right  or doing good keeps me assured I will be  with Jesus.  No wonder Jesus went after the religious...it keeps people knowing Jesus!  What a loss..it is truly sad.

Amen. Thank you Heavenly Father for being there for me and coming to my rescue when I did not know how to speak to someone who I knew I really was Lead to speak to.When I was alone with you in prayer she came to me,and through The Holy Spirit I know I was given the right words to speak by your Grace and Mercy. Help us always to be attentive to hearing you speak to us.In The Name of Jesus Christ I pray.
