Pray Continually- Jesus says to us, let's do it

Pray Continually-  Jesus says to us, let's do it


Luke 22:40] When He arrived at the place called Gethsemane, He said to them, “Pray continually that you may not fall into temptation.”

After a fully scheduled day of activities, preparing for Passover, and having the Last Supper with His close associates, Jesus went out to the Mount of Olives as was His habit, and His disciples followed Him.

There are many things He told them in the past, however at this place, Gethsemane, He said unto them, *Pray Continually *🤲🙏.

He gave the reason to Pray.
• Not to get into temptation,
• Not to be tested,
• Not to give into trails.
• If we may summarize this understanding, Jesus had a custom of regularly visiting the Mount of Olives, where He would engage in extended periods of prayer. This practice aided Him in adhering steadfastly to the Father's purpose and plan until the appointed hour. Amen.

Let's also make it a habit to *Pray Continuously by always associating ourselves with Him*.

Wishing you An awesome Apr 2024.

Peace be upon Israel and Us. 🙏🙏🙏 Shalom. In His Grip...

τηρήσετε (tērēsete)- you will guard, keep watch over

τηρήσετε (tērēsete)- you will guard, keep watch over Reference: John 14:15 — "If you love me, keep my commandments" — sits at a hinge point in Jesus's Farewell discourse, right before HE promises the Holy Spirit (the "Advocate"/Paraclete). Root verb: τηρέω (tēreō) — not the more common Greek word for "obey" (peithomai/hypakouō, meaning to submit to authority), but a word that literally means "to guard," "to watch over," "to keep watch". It's the word used for a guard keeping watch at a post, or someone safeguarding a treasure. Love is defined by obedience, not sentiment. Jesus doesn't say "if you love me, feel devoted to me" — he ties love to concrete action. In John's Gospel, love is verifiable; it shows up in behaviour, not just emotion. The Greek verb for "keep" (tērēsete) is future tense and follows a conditional — love isn't presented as a prerequisite for a transaction ("obey...

Moving Mountains: Why Prayer Transforms Everything

Moving Mountains: Why Prayer Transforms Everything “Have faith in God,” Jesus said (Mark 11:22). Simple words, yet they hold the key to a transformed life. In this single passage, Jesus gives us the ultimate spiritual equation:  Prayer + Faith + Forgiveness = Transformation.  But why is prayer so essential? Because it forces us to stop looking at our problems and start looking at our Provider. Without prayer, we rely on our own limited strength. With prayer, we tap into omnipotence itself. Jesus makes a staggering promise: “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours” (v. 24). This isn’t positive thinking; it’s supernatural authority. Prayer is effective because God backs His Word. When we speak to your “mountain” (our debts, illness, broken relationship) in faith, God moves on our behalf. But here is the transformative twist: prayer changes us before it changes our circumstances. Notice how Jesus ties prayer directly to forgiveness:...
