An HOUR In God’s PRESENCE: Endeavour To Practice It Daily – You Will NEVER Regret It!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

CAN’T YOU WATCH WITH ME FOR AN HOUR? That is, can’t you spend at least an HOUR in Father God’s PRESENCE with Me? That was the question that Jesus did asked the early followers called Disciples who later became Apostles.<\/span><\/p>\n

This above subject questioning of Christ Jesus, reminds me of my early and now Christian FAITH motto that serves as my PRAYER guidance:<\/span><\/p>\n

“SEVEN PRAYERLESS DAYS MAKES ONE WEAK”<\/em> – WEAKENED IN THE FAITH!<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Any acclaimed Believers in Christ, who can’t spend at\u00a0 least – an hour in Father God’s presence a day, is prone to fall into diverse temptations knowingly or unknowingly as one of the Disciples who couldn’t WATCH and PRAY did – by trying to cut off one called Malchus ears with the sword – Matthew 26:51-53<\/strong>; John 18:10<\/strong>. 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 Malchus ears, later denied Jesus; others hid themselves as many does today when questioned if they knew Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adam and Eve hid themselves too from God – remember that?; and many same like challenging matters that many have avoided to stand up for their FAITH in Christ Jesus. Romans 5:1-2<\/strong>; 1 Peter 5:8-9<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Will you WATCH FOR AN HOUR at least in 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. For an HOUR In God’s PRESENCE, makes life an essence that’s WORTH living, in advancing in the Kingdom cause and in keeping the enemy and cohorts at bay.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a CHOICE to make your PATH OF LIFE in God’s PRESENCE, in order to bring forth your FULLNESS OF JOY and PLEASURE FOR EVERMORE in God’s grace and BLESSEDNESS. Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE:in thy PRESENCE is FULNESS of JOY; at thy RIGHT HAND there are PLEASURES for EVERMORE”<\/em> Psalms 16:11<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Then Jesus came with THEM to a place CALLED Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, \u201cSit here while I go and PRAY over there.\u201d 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, \u201cMy soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. STAY HERE AND WATCH WITH ME.\u201d 39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and PRAYED, saying, \u201cO My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.\u201d 40 Then He came to the disciples and found them SLEEPING, and said to Peter, \u201cWHAT! 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.\u201d 42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, \u201cO My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.\u201d 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, \u201cARE 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” . . .\u00a0 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, \u201cPut your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish 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?\u201d 55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, \u201cHave 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.\u201d Then all the disciples FORSOOK Him and fled”<\/em> Matthew 26:36-56<\/strong> (NKJV<\/strong>).<\/span><\/p>\n
