Prophetic Call to Solitude

There is a prophetic call today upon the church to solitude.  It's not a new call.  Jesus was called to solitude while living His earthly live.  It was necessary in order for Him to live the God-life He was called to.  The church cannot live it's life of power without solitude either.  It's a necessity.  Solitude is where we, as individuals, tap into the fuel of the Spirit, the life of the Spirit, and the power of the Spirit.  We take nothing of God's life with us into any situation if He has not poured it into us.  He pours when we create space for Him to do so.  That's the necessity of solitude.  It is space for God to pour whatever life He wants to pour into us.

Thank you for pointing out not only the permission, but the call, to be in solitude every once in awhile. I'm fighting a Martha inside myself that feels so useless when she chooses to be a Mary. I needed to read (again) in modern words how much more useful it is to be a Mary.

Be still and know I am God
That is a reminder that we need to stop and here Gods Voice
to be in solitude we all need it to refresh oursevles and our work
we need to study upon Gods Word and put it in our heart
to pray that is another reason to be in solitude
there are many reasons for this
but to me i do it to refresh my soul and spirit
