Prayers or a righteous man avail much!

Well today (Tuesday) has been another prayer burden day. At 5.00am, I heard the Holy Spirit tell me not to be lazy, but to get up and pray in tongues! Well, I certainly don't want to be accused of laziness :o) So praying in the Spirit I did - straight until about 10.00am, then had a break, then started again 12.30pm to 1.30pm, then had a break, then started again 2.30pm and still going. I'm greatful Ps David cancelled his powerpoint lesson with me today. I have needed to pray, not sure why. It's like it is just flowing from me, pouring out like rivers of living water. I wonder what I am praying for .... I am guessing it's preparation for YWAM.

Nat said to me on the weekend that it is a gift and it's because I'm a intercessor that I can pray this long in tongues. Well that's partly true, but I know the devil deceives many people into believing they are not "called" to pray in tongues. I never used to be able to pray in tongues. I have been a Christian some 17 years and only the last three have really been filled with praying in tongues. I forced myself to do it until it became easy. God's people are destroyed through lack of knowlege (Hosea 4:6). I bet if she knew her union with her husband depended on it, she would suddenly find the motivation and discipline to pray in the Spirit. I know that's the key to me being united with the husband God has promised me. Oh well, what I can do. I can only act on the revelation I have had myself and put it into action in my own life. I cannot do it for other people. They have to learn it themselves even if it is the hard way and at a price - not having the magnitude of blessings that they could have poured into their lives.
