Sunday

Yesterday was Sunday. I had an amazing prayer time in the morning before church. I felt led by God through it, but also felt like I was really doing something - accomplishing something for God. I am wondering specifically why it was different...

Recently, I have been feeling an urgent need to pray for many people at church. It feels like a near constant burden. Its not just for certain people but I think for a spiritual battle happening within our spiritual borders. The burden just keeps growing. God does not see fit to give me too many details - just the burden to pray and vague images. So I am praying a lot. The image is of a dark cloud lingering overhead, and God releasing His angels to fight. He wants to break through, He wants to bring freedom, and release more power in the Spirit.

I realized on Sunday, as I was watching Satan distract and disrupt the service through an unwitting servant that I have been praying for positive things to happen from the Lord, but I have not been praying against Satan. So now I will be adding that in with a whole lot of Jesus' name. I can honestly say that all of this is new ground for me - and I need to do some more reading to understand what the Lord has gotten me into. I am sure He will provide whatever grace is needed along the way as I learn. Praying without ceasing has never seemed so real.

Psalm 90:16-17
Let us, Your servants, see Your work again; let our children see Your glory. And may the Lord our God show us His approval and make our efforts successful, yes make our efforts successful!
