DAY THIRTY FOUR | Clear the Room

WELCOME TO DAY THIRTY FOUR | CLEAR THE ROOM

ACTS 9 : 40 – But Peter PUT THEM ALL OUT, and knelt down and prayed.”

Feel like you are living in a crowded house? Are you under siege with a thousand different problems, ideas, opinions, or solutions? Do you feel like you just need time out to breathe?

Sometimes you have to get a bit ruthless and command the crowd to leave. Just usher them out the door and close it for a while. Then do what Peter did. He knelt down and prayed to the Lord. Nothing can equal a “time-out” with the Lord. You will get your sanity back. You eyes will lose their cloudiness. The ringing in your ears will stop and your breathing will return to normal. Take regular “time-outs” with the Lord.

Do not wait until you have a life or death situation but learn to “sit at His feet” and listen.

Prayer is not always about storming heaven. Sometimes prayer is the stillness of the garden at evening when he comes to meet with you alone.

The crowd will always be there waiting outside the door. Learn some crowd control in your life and you will be a lot better for it.

Don’t live life waiting for phones calls to determine what you do next. Plan your time and make it count.

Your friends will understand and your enemies will still be the same, so why not take control today and let Jesus into your important moments and decisions.

Learn to take “time-outs” with Christ and you will be amazed how many times He will show Himself powerful on your behalf.

PRACTICAL

1. Plan a “time out” with God asap.

2. Look through your diary and see what is crowding you in so that you time with God is limited.

3. Now ruthlessly eliminate the “crowds” from your life.

4. Get your friends to help you get alone with God. ask them to hold you accountable to get away for “time outs.’
