“The priority of Jesus was not ministry to men….” Myles Munroe, in speaking of Jesus’ robust prayer life. His read on the story of the apostles attempting to cast out demons is very interesting. Why couldn’t they do it? Not by shouting, not by using the name of Jesus, not by gyrations and ritual…but by prayer…..the apostles’ prayer with God for their OWN strength, their own equipping, their own purity. Jesus prayed for hours in the morning with God, then spent a mere moment saying, “be healed”….
The power of humanity, the power of ministry lies in prayer. IF we spent time connected to God in prayer that we are supposed to, we humans would know the power and have the dominion that God ordained that humans should have.
God does not heal us simply because he wants us to feel better. He heals us because he wants to use us, our healed and strengthened bodies and spirits, to accomplish His will in the world……His healing of us glorifies his name and provides a means for us to point to Him to bring others to Christ. Another quote from Myles Munroe…… Spend some time today in prayer and ask God for healing for His sake…so that you can do the work He desires you to do.
