Two nights this week I got to participate in intercessory prayer. Our team sent a group out to the park that’s filled with witchcraft, and the rest of us stayed on the roof of our building listening for the Lord to speak and praying over those we sent out. I was praying 2 Corinthians 4 over the group and I felt the Lord tell me “someone needs a hug.” I laughed and wrote it down in my journal, and I thought it was super weird and then wondered who needed the hug… When our group got back from the park they talked about what happened and how they felt the Lord moving. One of my squad mates Andrew said, “as we were praying for this guy I felt the Lord tell me to hug him and I was like ‘that’s odd’, but when we finished praying HE hugged ME!”
This morning we split into teams of five for prayer walks, and we headed out in every direction from our host home. We prayed over each home and business we passed and we allowed the Lord to direct our hearts in what to pray for. As my team walked down the street we all felt a heaviness and darkness on the second block. We stopped and prayed for freedom from oppression, chains to be broken, and for the spirit to fall on the people inside and whatever was happening in these buildings. When we got back to our meeting point and talked about what we felt, our squad leader told us the second block is where pornography is filmed.
These are just two examples of how the Lord is speaking and moving in our group, but two examples is all I need to know what the Lord is asking of me.
The Lord wants me to be interruptible.
When I’m sitting and I hear the Lord speak, I want to be interruptible. When I’m walking and I feel a heaviness, I want to be interruptible. When I see or hear something out of place, I want to be interruptible. I want to be less in tune with my “go, go, go” mentality, and more in tune with the Lord’s presence in each and every moment.
So here’s to living and breathing in the moment, and being interruptible.
