Another thing he stated is that the temptation was in the mind of Jesus. :shrugs

Yeah he did say that. I’m not real sure how much access the devil has to our mind, especially the mind of Jesus who was without sin. I would think that most of the access he has is what we have somehow granted him or subjected ourself
to in someway. By say, for instance, watching Clint Eastwood movies.

Yes. Not a western fan, but I enjoyed his westerns as a kid.

I agree it was not an internal conflict. I’m my opinion we allow things to go to far in our minds and Jesus was perfect so a temptation never went as far as it goes with us..

Although I do believe it is good to pray an hour each day I don’t think it’s required nor do I think that Jesus was implying that in that passage.

That doesn't say they would be lost for not praying one hour.

Read the next verse,

Matthew 26:41
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.


Remember unless you never read the book, he is talking to ministers. This was a young ministers class he was teaching for the AMF (if I’m not mistaken). So, as a preacher himself growing up with men like Joe Duke, C.R. Free, Elder Shoemake these were men that were mightily used of God. So he is relating to these young preachers that desire to go deep into the spirit realm, that the elders taught him that if you cannot pray for 3 hours or more your not going to make it. Verbal Bean said he believes no less than an hour!

Now, is there a scripture that says “unless you pray one hour each day your going to hell” no there is not. Yet, Jesus does say can you not pray with me for one hour? Then the next verse says, “watch and pray that ye enter not into temptation.” Why would Jesus bring up one hour if it wasn’t important?
