WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF REVELATION
ALONE WITH GOD
Have you ever had cause to lock up yourself in a room for days spending time alone with no one but God alone? This surely sounds strange to someone reading this article. I know that some believers in Jesus Christ when they see this will wonder if I am now a supporter of transcendental meditation or yoga, or if am one of those mixing Christianity with the new age practices. Oh no brothers and sisters, what we have is bigger and better than that by far.
I love corporate prayer and intercession, but they can never take the place of spending time alone with God. It is easy sometimes to pretend that we love God and that we are in fellowship with Him, when have church services, prayer meetings, praise and worship concerts etc and we attend in the company of others. However the real proof of your devotion to God is when, like Jesus said you get into your secret place and commune and fellowship with him.
There are several benefits of spending time alone with God, as we can see from the scriptures. In the book of Genesis chapter 32 and verse 24 we read as follows:
24 “And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him, until the breaking of the day.”The man Jacob was left alone, and he wrestled with God. His wrestling with God produced the blessing of God upon His life. I strongly believe that what God does for one, he will do for another under the same circumstances. If therefore any man is suffering from barrenness in any area of his life, spending time and wrestling with God alone, is certain to produce an empowerment to prosper in his or her life.
Secondly, in the Book of Daniel chapter 10 and verse 8, we read about how that when he was alone with God, revelations came to him about the future in the form of visions. If you read the story properly though you will find out that Daniel started a fast which must have been a total dry fast, including not washing his body or applying oils on himself. I don’t know if anybody goes to that extent today. This was later described in the same book as seeking to understand and to chasten himself before God. In as much as there were people with him at the time of his meeting with the angel, they were driven away from him by vibrations so that he was alone to receive the revelation from the angel. Let’s look at it in Daniel chapter 10 and verse 8.
7 “And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves.
8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned into corruption, and I retained no strength.” That secret place alone with God is a place where you and I can receive revelation from God or grab hold of a new vision.
What about a rejuvenation of the anointing for miracles, healings and for power generally? In the book of Mathew chapter 14 and verse 23, we read about Jesus who went into the bush or mountain to be alone with God. When Jesus came out of that place where he was alone with God, all men sought to touch him, and as many as touched him were made whole.
23 “And when he had sent the multitude away, he went up into a mountain apart (alone) to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone.”After this event, you find out later that Jesus performed so many miracles as you read down up to verse 34.
What about personal revival and intercession for healing and mercy on the sick and of the lost? In the book of Hebrews chapter 9 and verse7 we read about the exclusive intercessory role of the Levitical high priests and their offering up of sacrifices in the innermost chamber of the temple known as the Holy of holies.
7 “But into the second went the high priest once every year, not without blood, which he offered for himself, and for the errors of the people:..”Our times alone with him therefore become times of offering up ourselves again, interceding for the lost and the sick. I am not talking about spending five munities in your bedroom speaking in tongues. Daniel spent 21 days seeking his face. Although you may not have to go that far, certain emergencies demand that we lock up ourselves in the room and refuse to see or talk to no one until God has answered us.
I remember the story I heard about the great man of God (A.A.Allen) about how that he sought for and received the anointing to perform great miracles. It was said that he did not see mighty manifestations of the Holy Spirit in his early days of ministry. He went to a meeting of another man of God (I believe was John G Lake)
And when he saw the great miracles, he decided that he will lock himself up inside his room and seek the face of God alone until he received the baptism of the Holy Ghost (great anointing for signs, miracles and wonders). He did that and the Lord after many days responded to his heart’s desire and demand, and that turned him into a giant of faith. It was said that light shined from heaven into the dark room where he was as the glory of God filled the room and his change came.
May the Lord meet you and I with the same power and glory as we wait on him alone, wrestling, seeking understanding and chastening, interceding for the lost in Jesus name. Amen.
