Nine times, our Lord retreated to a solitary place to pray to and be with His Abba!
Nine times Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Messiah, the Jehovah God, the I AM in the flesh ,found it necessary and worthy to retreat to solace (at least nine times that we're told of in the Scripture anyway).
And if the LORD Jesus found it necessary, how much more ought we to take to heart His example, as His disciples, and seek to be like our Master, and set the time aside for Him and nobody and nothing else?
This is the place where our Lord can manifest His presence to us, as in the Baptism of the Holy Ghost. Because it won't happen by "wishful" thinking. It won't happen if we're still holding the reigns of our lives. And it won't happen just because we're saved. It will happen when a soul cries out in earnest, where there is no desire for anything but the object of our Worship to be first and foremost in our life. But there is nothing that compares with His manifest presence!
Let's learn to be worshippers of our God and King, Jesus Christ!
And you shall seek Me and find Me, when you search for me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13).
