Всегда молитесь всякой молитвой и прошением в Духе., и бодрствуя при этом со всяким постоянством и молением о всех святых (Ефесянам 6:18)
When you take the whole armor of God and pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit and watch, you shall be able to stand against the whiles of the devil and withstand in the evil day, и сделав все, стоять. Because if you don’t put on the whole armor of God and don’t pray, you will not be able to stand against the whiles of the devil and withstand in the evil day, but you shall lose every spiritual battle.
Although prayer is not mentioned as a piece of the armor, prayer is mentioned together with the spiritual armor to stand against the whiles of the devil and to stand in the evil day. Because your walk as the new creation on earth depends on your prayer-life.
The prayer-life of the born again христианин
И я не молюсь только об этом, but for them also which shall believe on Me through their word; Что все они могут быть одним; как ты, Отец, искусство во мне, и я в Тебе, чтобы и они были едины с Нас: that the world may believe that Thou hast sent Me. And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; что они могут быть одним, even as We are one: я в них, and Thou in Me, чтобы они могли сделаться совершенными в одном; и чтобы мир узнал, что Ты послал Меня, и я любил их, as thou hast loved Me. Отец, Я хочу, чтобы они тоже, которого ты дал Мне, будь со Мной там, где Я нахожусь; дабы они могли узреть славу Мою, которые Ты дал Мне: ибо Ты возлюбил Меня прежде создания мира. О праведный Отец, the world hath not known Thee: but I have known Thee, and these have known that thou hast sent Me. And I have declared unto them Thy Name, и заявит об этом: that the love wherewith Thou hast loved Mve may be in them, and I in them (Джон 17:20-26)
Every born again believer is connected in the Spirit with God. Когда ты родишься свыше, the Holy Spirit abides in you, whereby the Father and the Son abide in you. They live in you and you live in Them.
Если кто-нибудь будет служить Мне, пусть он следует за Мной; и где я, там будет и раб Мой: если кто-нибудь будет служить Мне, его почтит Отец Мой (Джон 12:26)
Но Бог, кто богат милосердием, за Его великую любовь, которой Он возлюбил нас, Даже когда мы были мертвы во грехах, оживил нас со Христом, (благодатью вы спасены;) И воскресил нас вместе, и посадил нас на небесах во Христе Иисусе: Чтобы в грядущих веках Он мог показать преизобилующее богатство Своей благодати в Своей доброте к нам через Христа Иисуса. (Ефесянам 2:4-7)
Когда ты родишься свыше, you are seated in Jesus Christ in the heavenly places. This means that you are already there and don’t have to apply all kinds of carnal methods and technics and use natural means to get there.
From your position in Christ, you live and walk after the Spirit in the spiritual armor of God, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.
Молитвенная жизнь Иисуса
Который во дни плоти Своей, когда Он возносил молитвы и прошения с сильным воплем и слезами к Тому, кто мог спасти Его от смерти, и был услышан в том, что Он боялся; Хотя бы Он был Сыном, но Он научился послушанию через то, что страдал; And being made perfect, He became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey Him; Called of God an High Priest after the order of Melchisedec (иврит 5:7-10)
Although Jesus often withdrew Himself physically from the crowd to spend time alone in prayer with the Father, Jesus was connected with His Father in the Spirit and prayed always (Ой. Мэтью 14:23, Отметка 1:35, Отметка 6:46, Люк 5:16, Люк 6:12, Люк 9:18, Люк 11:1).
The Father dwelled in Him and He dwelled in the Father by the Holy Spirit and were One (Ой. Джон 10:30).
While Jesus prayed, He received the Holy Spirit
Теперь, когда весь народ крестился, это произошло, что и Иисус крестится, и молитва, Небеса открылись, И Дух Святой сошел на Него в телесном образе, как голубь, и голос пришел с небес, в котором говорилось, Ты – Мой возлюбленный Сын; в Тебе Мое благоволение (Люк 3:21-22)
When Jesus was baptized by Иоанн Креститель и молились, Jesus received the Holy Spirit and the witness of the Father, that Jesus is His beloved Son in Whom He is well pleased.
The Father answered the prayer of Jesus at the tomb of Lazarus
Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up His eyes, и сказал, Отец, Благодарю Тебя, что Ты услышал Меня. И я знал, что Ты всегда слышишь Меня: но из-за людей, которые стоят рядом, я сказал это, that they may believe that Thou hast sent Me. And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, выйти (Джон 11: 41-43)
Just before Lazarus was raised from the dead, Jesus made His connection and unity with the Father known to the crowd by speaking (молиться) openly with the Father and the Father heard Him and answered His prayer.
The prayer and supplication of Jesus
The persistent prayer and supplication of Jesus preceded His words and works. Все, что делал Иисус, derived from His relationship with the Father. Jesus spoke the words of His Father and did what He had seen His Father do (Ой. Джон 8:38, Джон 10:32-37).
Because of His persistent prayer and supplication in the Spirit, Jesus was able to stand against the temptations of the devil and Jesus was able to go God’s way (Читайте также: ‘Битва в саду‘ и ‘Распятие души’)
Jesus stayed obedient to His Father until His death and revealed the love of God for mankind through His work of redemption at the cross and was raised from the dead as Victor (Читайте также: ‘Истинное значение креста').
Pray always and do not faint!
And He spake a parable unto them to this end, что мужчины должны всегда молиться, и не упасть в обморок (Люк 18:1)
Jesus set the example and commanded to always pray and not to faint, which means that you should not stop praying but continue and persevere in prayer. В качестве примера, Jesus told the parable of the unrighteous judge (Читайте также: 'Найду ли я веру на земле?)
Иисус знал, there would come a time that the people were not able to endure sound doctrine anymore, but would turn unto fables and become lukewarm for Him and the things of God and His Kingdom and not many people would give themselves to prayer.
Иисус знал, that at the end of the latter days, the people would be distracted and be occupied with the cares and the things of this world and have more faith in the world, than God.
Иисус знал, that there would come a time, that the people would not persevere in prayer and supplication and by faith endure until their prayers would be answered, but that they would give up and turn to the world for a solution and seek help in the world.
Поэтому, Jesus asked them the question, that when the Son of man returns, will He find faith? A faith that believes God and relies completely on God and perseveres and doesn’t give? A faith that obeys God and Jesus Christ; His Word and stays faithful and under no circumstances compromise, and never leave Him?
Бодрствуйте и молитесь
Бодрствуйте и молитесь, that ye enter not into temptation: Воистину Дух желает, но плоть слаба (Мэтью 26:41, также Марк 14:38)
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man (Люк 21:36)
Through prayer in the Spirit, you shall stay spiritually awake and watch and prevent from falling asleep spiritually.
When you pray always and stay awake and watch, you shall not enter into temptation but you shall be able to stand against the temptations of the devil and be accounted worthy to escape all the things that shall come to pass and to stand before Jesus Christ.
Мне еще многое нужно сказать тебе, но вы не можете вынести их сейчас. Однако, когда Он, Дух истины, пришло, Он наставит тебя на всякую истину: ибо Он не будет говорить о Себе; но что бы Он ни услышал, что Он будет говорить: и Он покажет тебе будущее. Он прославит Меня: ибо Он получит от Моего, и покажу это тебе. Все, что имеет Отец, — Мое: поэтому сказал я, что Он возьмет от Меня, и покажу это тебе (Джон 16:12-15)
The Holy Spirit shall guide you into all truth. He shall speak to you, Научите вас, Поправьте вас, chastise you, warn you and show you things to come.
The words of the Holy Spirit shall always be in alignment with the will of the Father and His Word, since the Holy Spirit speaks what He hears and therefore He shall speak the words of Jesus Christ and the Father and make them known to you.
Pray always for the saints
I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given Me; for they are Thine. And all Mine are Thine, and Thine are Mine; и Я прославлен в них (Джон 17:9-10)
Иисус не молился за мир, but Jesus prayed for those, которых дал Ему Отец. And so His followers should follow His example and always pray for their fellow believers; святые (Читайте также: Важность молитвы за единоверцев')
The apostles followed the example of Jesus and knew the Сила молитвы and also prayed for the saints (Ой. 2 Коринфянам 13:7, Колоссянам 1:9, Филиппийцы 1:9, 3 Джон 1:2).
They prayed for the churches and commanded the churches to pray for all the saints, в том числе и они сами (Ой. Ефесянам 6:1, 1 Салоники 5:25, 2 Салоники 3:1, иврит 13:18).
The armor of God and prayer
Я провел хороший бой, Я закончил свой курс, Я сохранил веру: Отныне приготовлен мне венец праведности, который Господь, праведный судья, подарю мне в тот день: и не только мне, но и всем возлюбившим явление Его (2 Тимоти 4:7-8)
Without the armor of God and prayer, believers shall not be able to stand against the wiles of the devil and withstand in the evil day and stand and be able to fight the good fight, and finish their course and keep the faith and lay hold on eternal life.
Поэтому put on the armor of God, and pray always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watch with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.
