I woke up at 4:30 this morning. Why? Not sure. But felt like taking a shower and praying. So by 4:45 I was in prayer mode mode. I have had a revival of prayer in the last few weeks. I have in many respects returned to my "Word of Faith" roots. My prayers this morning were varied, but as I prayed for many, I felt a word of the Lord creeping in. There seemed to be an underlying theme. Speaking to the person's spirit I was praying for. Calling it forth, to the "lead" position. (Maybe it had to do with all of Vanessa's prayers :-p) Anyways, I felt like things were changing in people's lives.
It made me think about prayer and more particularly, what we say. There seems to be a growing belief that what we say does not matter. On the other hand a couple of people asked me about my request about removing Jason from Alyssa's life. So, some do feel that what we say is important. If it does not mean anything, then why do people when we say we are "praying" get concerned. There is no more special time for prayer than any other, really. God is listening in all the time and so is the devil. What we say is relevant. Trust me if I went around saying "sister so and so is a jerk," someone would stop me. (Wouldn't they?)
Another theme that kept occurring was that of declaring that the spirit of fear was removed. How by "perfect love." Or as I have recently been saying "The mature love. Love that has come to it's fullness." I have watched an increase of fear in people's lives. Fear about relationships, situations, the future. It is destroying the health of many individuals. Whatever it is that you are fearing, God is greater. Now having said that, there is a walking out process of these things. That is a day to day regimen. Working on one's self and sharing it with others. A problem shared is a problem halved. People need people. I give you a guideline below to help you. I have had to deal with this in my own life lately. This time my healing has not been instantaneous. It still could be. But as of this moment it has not.
As I prayed I felt like the body of believers in this area had believed the lies of the enemy, about themselves, about others and mostly about God.
I believe you will have a blessed day. Go for it.
