Matthew 14:23 (KJV)

And when He had sent the multitudes away, He went up onto a mountain apart to pray: and when evening had come, He was there alone.

During the time of the Lord Jesus’ ministration in this world, you’ll notice that ever so often He would retreat to the mountains to find peace and quiet so that He could spend time in prayer. He would remove Himself from the hustle and bustle of people around so that He could recharge. He would return full of power, performing ridiculous miracles, casting out demons, and commanding storms to cease.

How often do you recharge your spirit, if at all? These moments of quiet fellowship with the Holy Spirit are very important to your spiritual growth and acquaintance with Him. I'm not talking about prayer time full of requests. This is just to fellowship. Psalm 46:10 says, "Be still and know that He is God." You get enveloped with great peace that surpasses understanding so that when you step out, you can command your environment to be still because you will be pulling out what is in you, just like the Lord Jesus calmed the storm. Make it a point to have frequent downtime sessions in prayer.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION

I command peace and calm in my life. Regardless of the chaos around me, I remain steadfast, rooted in the Word of God, and energized by the power of the Holy Ghost!
