Ministry Reading
Acts 11:5 I was in the city of Joppa praying, and I saw in a trance a vision
Jer. 33:3 Call unto Me, and I will answer you and tell you great and hidden things, which you do not know.
Luke 21:36 But be watchful at every time, beseeching that you would prevail to escape all these things which are about to happen and stand before the Son of Man.
Let us carefully look into different aspects of prayer according to the record of the Bible.
THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYER
6. “Praying, and I saw in a trance a vision” (Acts 11:5)
As we pray, we see visions. When Peter was praying in the city of Joppa, he saw a vision and knew that God wanted him to go and preach the gospel to the Gentiles. Today we often see spiritual visions and receive revelation while praying. It is difficult for people who do not pray much to see visions and receive revelations. Visions and revelations are of God. Therefore, if we continually contact God, it will be easy to receive visions and revelations. Prayer has a special function in the matter of receiving visions and revelations.
7. “Call unto Me, and I will answer you and tell you great and hidden things” (Jer. 33:3).
When we call unto the Lord—when we pray—we not only receive an answer, but He also tells us great and hidden things. We can be directed by the Lord concerning a great and difficult matter, one that is not easy to understand, if there is sufficient prayer. When we have problems, we must pray to receive the Lord’s direction. When we pray, the Lord will direct us.
8. “Be watchful at every time, beseeching that you would prevail to escape all these things which are about to happen and stand before the Son of Man” (Luke 21:36)
Prevailing to escape the things which are about to happen and to stand before the Son of Man refers to escaping the coming tribulation and being raptured to the Lord. According to the Lord’s word, great tribulation will come upon the people of the whole earth at the end of the age. If we are watchful and beseeching at every time, we will be positioned to escape the coming tribulation on the earth and be raptured to be with the Lord. Watching and praying are very much related to our future; therefore, we should realize the importance of prayer and pay attention to it.
