An Hour In God’s Presence

An Hour In God’s Presence: Endeavour To Practice It Daily!

Can’t You Watch With Me For An Hour? That is, can’t you spend at least an hour in God’s PRESENCE? That was the question that Jesus did asked the early followers called Disciples who later became Apostles.

Any acclaimed Believers in Christ, who can’t spend at least – an hour in God’s presence a day, is prone to fall into diverse temptations knowingly or unknowingly as the Disciples who couldn’t watch did. If they did watch for an hour in Father’s presence, they would have known His mind about matters concerning Christ and their faith in the kingdom. The consequential results of not watching for examples are these: Peter cut Marcus ears, later denied Jesus; others hid themselves as many does today when questioned if they knew Jesus. Adam and Eve hid themselves too remember; and many same like challenging matters.

Will you watch for an hour at least a day in Father God’s presence, as a schedule in your PATH OF LIFE? For therein is the FULNESS of joy and PLEASURE forevermore – (Psalms 16:1).

“Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” 37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. 38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.” 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless[e] I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. 44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand” . . . 51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 52 But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish[f] by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?” 55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled” Matthew 26:36-56 (NKJV).
