In the Old Testament God has specifically chosen a place where His people would worship Him, and He designed a specific way for the people of Israel to come to Him. He even interdicted them to worship Him with His offerings wherever they wanted – in Deut. 12:5 we see that God chose a place […]
entering into our private room and praying to the Father who is in secret
June 16, 2012 by 3 Comments
The Lord Jesus set a good pattern before us – He as the first God-man prayed to the Father much time in secret! Even after He fed the crowds by making a miracle, He went away and went up to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer alone with the […]
