Have you ever wondered where all your friends were at a time when you really needed them? Perhaps they pledged they would be faithful, but when you needed those friends most, they were nowhere to be found. Did you feel abandoned in that moment of need? Yes, I have and it was terrible it to not have anyone and be all alone. That is how A Voice In The Desert was born. Much thanks and glory I give God for this Ministry which was born during a time of much pain and loneliness.
Jesus Himself was confronted with that same situation when He was in the Garden of Gethsemane on the night before His crucifixion. After He was finished serving Communion to His disciples in the upper room, the Bible tells us that He went to the Garden of Gethsemane with them. Knowing that the Cross and the grave lay before Him, Jesus felt a need to spend time in intercession so He might gain the strength He needed to face what lay before Him. He also requested that Peter, James, and John come apart to pray with Him. Rarely, if ever, did Jesus need His friends’ assistance. Most of the time, they needed His! But in this intense moment, Jesus really felt a need to have the three disciples who were closest to Him pray with Him. Jesus asked these disciples to pray for just one hour. But instead of faithfully praying when Jesus desperately needed their support, the three disciples kept falling asleep!
The mental and spiritual battle Jesus experienced that night in the Garden of Gethsemane was intense. In fact, Luke 22:44 says, “And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.” Jesus knew that there was no way around this but the only way is through the Cross and out the grave. I thank you Jesus Christ for what you have done for me.
