What an unusual occasion…
Location: Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Scene: 8 mattresses lying on the floor of a second floor “underground” looking church. It sits above a restaurant, where the gospel is shared on a regular basis. This is our home for the next month.
Time: 2:54 A.M.
2:54 A.M. our squad leader Tara taps me on the shoulder… wake up Jess we need to pray for Trev, she continues to Jessi, Jessi wake up we need to pray for Trev, she continues to Tyler, Tyler wake up we need to pray for Trev.
You see… Trev had woken up from a terrible itch and God telling him to get the team to pray for Him. And so it began. At 2:54 in the morning we started one of the most Holy Spirit led prayer sessions of my life. (I feel this is a normal occasion on the race haha)
Now to set this situation up a little bit my team and I had been having a super hard time feeling unified for the past 3 months… it seemed like there was always something wrong, or some kind of conflict. It was hard to ignore. There were moments I almost lost hope in us as a team, each of us were desperate for change… even if that meant changing teams… but God had a different plan.
At 2:54 that morning God answered all of our prayers. We began praying for Trev and his “Holy Itch” … immediately the Spirit fell upon all of us so heavy. And when I say heavy I mean every single one of us were getting pictures and hearing from God about different people in very perfect timing. The gift of leadership was spewing out of Trev, the gift of knowledge was flowing out of Tyler… and then it comes to me. God gave me a distinct vision of a demon clasping my throat trying to get me to stay silent. And at that second I told the team what I saw… They immediately began rebuking the Evil Spirit and telling me to speak out using my voice. I spoke … they prayed. I felt such a spiritual release almost as if my words weren’t my own at all but the Holy Spirit speaking through me. Such a freedom came upon me as I spoke.
After they finished praying for me we began praying for another person, the Holy Spirit continued to move. As some of you know I’ve had a prayer language for quite some time… but on this particular occasion I believe I received 2 or 3 more prayer languages all of a different tongue and dialect. God also told me that at some point this year.. I was going to have one of my tongues recognized by a local tribe, and translated. A little bit crazy but I’m ok with that because it was all God.
Our little prayer session continued for 2 hours… I repeat 2 hours… in the middle of the night!!! God’s so crazy … but amazing … I feel so unified and close to my team now… and so ready to battle the enemy. I feel like God’s going to move in a powerful and a very supernatural way. I’m expectant. I can’t wait.
