May the peace of the Lord be with you
Drove mum to and from work today. On the way home and on the way to fetch her, I was just praying and singing praises to the Lord most high. My heart was filled with peace and also rejoicing. Didnt notice the joy initially, but the peace was obvious cuz somehow even though there were a lot of dangerous encounters by motorist who are obviously in a rush, i was totally oblivious to them, i just cared about worshipping my God, who in honouring Him, kept me safe and at peace.
Went for Prayer meeting in church today,(fri cell cancelled for this). On the way there, was worshipping and preparing my heart. Great fantastic time. Again peace and joy, some thoughts came to distract me, but my God will protect me and He kept my focus on Him, the most high. In church, great time of worshipping again. Tongues flowed melodiously and beautifully, my feet were dancing and my hands painting marvels of splendor to my God. I didnt even realise i moved quite a seat away.
Next, when we got down to prayer for specific ministry and development in the church, again the favour of the Lord was upon me. I didn'tt know wat to pray, but i just started praying in the spirit, then His words filled my lips. I was surprised at how God filled me with all the right words.
Contrary to how most people view praying in the spirit, it is not just for personal edification. In the Bible, it is written that other than personal edification, it is used to speak of wonderful things, prophesy and also spiritual warfare. When we pray with our physical mouths, we pray of things we know or are concerned for. When we pray with our spirit, we pray for so much more. The Holy Spirit knows Godly things and when we pray in the spirit, our spirit and the Holy spirit are interceding for us and others around. We may not know what to pray, but the Holy Spirit would and would fill us with the wisdom and knowledge of what to pray. More specifically, you will pray for specific things in a person's life. ie. after a while of praying in the spirit, the Holy Spirit would fill u with wisdom and then u would pray in physical tongues about a specific area to bless others and yourself. We pray in the spirit for things we do not see. That is why it is Faith and that is why things happen that would marvel us beyond anything we have ever seen.
May the peace of the Lord be with you.
