On Monday nights the prayer room is open from 6-9. We do an hour of devotional worship from 6-7 and then corporate intercession from 7-9. On Monday nights we cry out for revival and the pouring out of His Spirit in Alamance County.
Tonight, while I was prayer leading, I was so distracted. I was supposed to be worshipping and engaging with the Lord and seeking for the burden of His heart so I could pour it out in intercession and partner with Him.
Well, thats not what was happening, and I wanted to be engaged so I could lead the room in intercession. Then the Lord revealed to me that I needed to pray and encourage the room to not be distracted (and myself too). But to choose to press in to Him despite the distractions inside and outside of us.
As I prayed and we started to worship I felt the Lord really challenging me. Here I sit distracted and not being in the Lord’s presence when I am called to be an intercessor for Alamance County. But I am not thinking about that as I sit there. I am not thinking about His heart for Alamance County.
So the Lord reveled to me that I need to increase and abound in love for Alamance County. I am praying that the Lord would increase this in me! When I love someone it is my joy to pray for them, I want to pray for them! SO I know I need to fall in love with the people and the town in a greater way. Because then I will be willing to lay my life down in intercession. Because this is what I have been called to do.
I want to LOVE, LOVE, LOVE! Do it in me God! Increase my capacity to LOVE Your people! That I would enter into intercession with a passion and devotion! To seek Your heart for the burden! Have Your way with me!
Man I can sympathize with you, I feel you on this issue (and probably many more) Hows the rest of life going. We miss you guys here in Atl!
Much love,
Grace and Peace
