Rise and pray
Luke 22:44-46 KJV
And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. [45] And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, [46] And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
Our Lord and savior Jesus lived a life of prayer. He prayed His was to the cross. He prayed against temptation. He prayed for the sick, lame, blind , deaf and the dead to be restored and made whole. Even now He is praying for us.
One thing that he discouraged His disciples from is the love of sleep in the place of prayer. Many things go wrong when you sleep at night. The enemy is at his busiest time at night unleashing wickedness to the unsuspecting. Child of God rise and pray even at night lest you enter into calamity. Remember the enemy sowed weeds among the wheat( the good seed) at night. Most of your problems started when you were in deep sleep and witches were wide awake.
Don’t only pray for the good in life also pray to be strengthened when you enter into your life defining moments. Pray to go through hardship and prevail. Pray to overcome storms. Jesus prepared for the suffering in the cross through prayer. He prepared for resurrection through prayer. He prayed for the salvation of many .
The church that prays dethrones the devil. Rise and pray!
