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?
