Tuhan Yesus tidak menginginkan kita menciptakan buku pelajaran berjudul &#8220;Prosedur Berdoa untuk Orang Lain&#8221;. Tuhan Yesus berdoa untuk banyak orang, tidak pernah mengulang cara yang sama tetapi sekaligus memberikan hasil yang sama. Dia tidak pernah punya teknik khusus dalam berdoa bagi orang banyak.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><q><span style=\"background-color: yellow;\">Melakukan hal yang sama berulang-ulang sambil mengharapkan hasil yang berbeda adalah sebuah kegilaan<\/span><\/q><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dalam pelayanan modern sekarang ini seringkali digunakan minyak urapan untuk mendoakan orang sakit, tetapi saya tidak yakin itu adalah satu-satunya cara berdoa bagi orang sakit. Bahkan Tuhan Yesus sendiri pun menggunakan air ludah-Nya untuk menyembuhkan orang buta. Bayangkan jika Tuhan Yesus selalu menggunakan air ludah-Nya setiap kali Dia menyembuhkan orang sakit! Maka, kita tidak akan menemukan minyak urapan di gereja, mungkin akan kita temukan kotak berisi tanah yang siap diludahi.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><strong><span style=\"background-color: yellow;\"><q>Apa yang Yesus kehendaki hanyalah kita mendengarkan suara-Nya<\/q><\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Tuhan Yesus melakukan pelayanan dengan berbagai macam cara supaya kita tidak membangun doktrin berdasarkan keadaan-keadaan tertentu. Bahkan kadangkala Dia menggunakan cara yang cenderung aneh, supaya kita tidak mencuri kemuliaan-Nya. Tuhan jauh lebih mengingikan kita memanggil nama-Nya dan tunduk kepada kemuliaan-Nya.
