Pray!
You want to disrupt the effect "the father of lies" has on your your life and others?
Pray!
You want to see the "prince of darkness" squirm and squeal and throw a tantrum in anger?
Pray!
You want to see a grown "man" cry?
Pray!
Pray without ceasing!
Pray for the fallow ground to spring forth with beauty from ashes!
Pray for rain to penetrate the soil and bring life to what the enemy has tried to steal, kill and destroy!
It is time to give that old "rascal" a whooping!
Pray! Simply. Fervently.
Press into the Father, the Creator, the Sustainer, the Comforter, the Redeemer, the Restorer of life and relationships and ....
PRAY!

What I just wrote above comes after an incredible time of fellowship and worship last night at our "house" church. It was "off the hook!" as one of those there said. And it was!
People were asking for prayer. Mainly for their families. Children. Siblings.
And so we prayed. We sang. We praised with our hearts and then went even deeper. We worshipped with our souls.
I do not remember a time since joining this group two and half years ago that we have had interaction with the Spirit and one another as we did last night.
So when I got back to my "apartment" we kept praying. We prayed for a man who for seven years has lived in a "hell" and been separated from his family. We talked. We cried. We pressed in till we felt a breakthrough. The two of us finished praying at 12.30
But the Lord impressed upon me to continue to pray. Who am I to go against Him!?
I am just simply someone who is wanting to grow deeper in love with Jesus. An ordinary man who wants to see God do an incredibly powerful move in my life and in others. But that takes an obedience to humble, follow and submit to His will. Not one's own.
I am consistently told I am "owned" by the government. Bah Humbug! I am owned by my Saviour and Lord and when he says to do something, well, we had better!
I finally felt as if the Lord was saying to me "OK. That is enough. For now."
That was at three this morning.
Am I saying that I am better than anyone else? That I have more power or faith? No way.
What I am saying is this:
Do what God tells you to do.
No matter the time of day or night, the season you are going through, whether the situation seems unbearable or too long and drawn out, He calls us to pray.
So there you have it. A typical, yet somewhat unique night in the life of this blogger.
Till the next excitement.
Continuing to walk in joy in the journey.
David
