(Eph 6:18) “Pray at all times (on every occasion, in every season) in the Spirit, with all [manner of] prayer and entreaty.”

RT Kendall (renowned Christian writer, speaker, teacher and pastor at Westminster Chapel for 25 years) was interviewed by J John and asked, “If you had your time over again, what would you do differently?”

RT Kendall replied, “That’s an excellent question. At age 86, I must be realistic about how many years I have left. Oh yes, I could live to be 100! But even if I thought I would live that long, I want to spend my time urging people to do two things: (1) know the Bible backwards and forwards and (2) spend much time alone with God. Read good books too – yes, of course, but be careful [what you read]!

That is how Peter and John got their boldness. The Greek word parrhesia in Acts 4:13 is variously translated as “boldness”, “confidence”, “courage” or “without fear”. What gives that boldness and fearlessness? Time with Jesus. They were, of course, filled with the Holy Spirit. One more thing: “they” (meaning the Sanhedrin, the Jewish leaders) were “astonished”, “amazed” at Peter and John. How could uneducated men astonish people like that? Time with Jesus. Mind you, they had three years to be taught by Jesus! They were ready for ministry when Jesus went to Heaven. I’m afraid no one nowadays – in a wicked world and a sleeping church – is astonished by any of us. So sad. But let us all do our best to find out what pleases the Lord.

Considering RT Kendall’s recent direction, I [most strongly] believe that we [the children of the Living GOD] are being called to a time of prayer …!

NB - May I recommend that we all take some time alone in our quiet places and bring a pen and something to write on so that we can record what the Lord speaks to us?

Are your ears awake? Listen. Listen to the Wind Words, the Spirit blowing through the churches. Christ-conquerors are safe from Devil-death.” (Rev 2:11) 

Heavenly Father, giver of life and health: Comfort and relieve those who are sick amongst us—such as Barbara and Ian fighting cancer. Please also pray for a quick and full healing for Jay after a total knee operation and give your power of healing to those who minister to their needs so that they may be strengthened in their weakness and have confidence in your loving care. We pray this through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. "
