“16 types of Prayer – #13 Travail"


Key Verse: Galatians 4:19 (Amplified Bible)


This is another selfless form of prayer. It is used to birth things out into the earth realm. Someone who has witnessed or given birth to a child may have a point of reference. Sometimes before a woman gives birth she can travail for hours or even days to birth out a child. You tap into another place you did not know existed. Things begin to happen that are unseen to the naked eye. For instance a mothers lower female internal organs and bones temporarily shift to make room for the child to come forth. There are times she may cry, moan or wail out during this process. When the Lord chooses one to travail in the Spirit there may be similar manifestations. One has to keep their personal temple (body) filled and refilled with the Spirit of God. We must daily maintain a clear path and connection to the throne of God for necessary taylor made instructions. As we are faithful in this form of prayer we will become senseitized to his leading. He may even begin to trust us with more "Kingdom Authority" necessary to unclock untapped areas or groups of people here on earth.

Today's "surprise" came in the form of Divine comfort. My heart truly ached for my grandmother who has gone on before us to meet the Lord. As cherished memories flashed through my mind a mixture of laughter, disappointment, hurt and sadness flooded my heart. In seconds I sensed the presence of the Lord there to comfort my heart and mind. He truly is comforter.

“A little laughter”


An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of religious service when she was startled by an intruder. As she caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables, she yelled, "Stop - Acts 2:38!" (..turn from your sin...) The burglar stopped dead in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you. "Scripture?" replied the burglar, "She said she had an AXE and two 38's!"

“16 types of Prayer – #12 Intercession"

Key Verse: Romans 8:26 - 27

This is one act or demonstration of the Spirit of God. It is used to bear us up in our weaknesses. It's similar to a Defense lawyer representing someone before a judge. The Holy Spirit works through yielded vessels across the land to intercede on behalf of others.

Intercession is a selfless act. It is birthed from a yielded persons vessel. You might be thinking yielded to what? I would humbly offer that they are yielded to the will along with the ways of God. You could be praying one hour, day, week, month or even year for this person or situation. It's important to continue to intercede until you receive a release from heaven concerning the matter. There is a ton more that could be said however instead I pray the Lord will specifically speak to the heart of each individual reader to bring us to a greater or deeper realm of understanding on the subject of Intercessory Prayer.

"Surprise Me God 30-Day Experiment – Day 13”

“A little laughter”

While walking along the sidewalk in front of his church, our minister heard the intoning of a prayer that nearly made his collar wilt. Apparently, his five-year-old son and his playmates had found a dead robin. Feeling that proper burial should be performed, they had secured a small box and cotton batting, then dug a hole and made ready for the disposal of the deceased.The minister's son was chosen to say the appropriate prayers and with sonorous dignity intoned his version of what he thought his father always said:"Glory be unto the Faaaather and unto the Sonnnn.......and into the hole he gooooes."

“16 types of Prayer – #11 Worship"

Key Verse: John 4:23


Worship is a outward demonstration one shows to someone or thing. In this case Believers from all walks choose to use it as a way to demonstrate or show ones heartfelt appreciation for not only what the Lord has done but for who he is.

Worship from the heart will usher you into another realm before his awesome presence where miracles have been known to take place. Once you enter his presence it becomes undeniable. Some lift their hands. Others bow or weep. Words or songs of appreciation spring from lips of clay naturally. In those moments all the cares of this life are gone and nothing else seems to matter. While writing I am reminded of a beautiful song by Israel & New Breed titled "To worship You I live". Although few in number some have chosen to make worship a lifestyle. This is one of the things I love about God the most. He is a perfect gentleman. He does not force anyone to serve or worship him. I challenge you today in your own way to truly worship the Lord from your heart.


*******************************************************

"Surprise Me God 30-Day Experiment – Day 12”

*******************************************************

"Prayer Exercise"

Allow me to say this prayer out loud with you: : "I love you Lord Jesus. It is my desire to worship you with all my heart, mind, soul, and body. Lead me deeper into your presence through the vehicle of worship. Amen."

“16 types of Prayer – #10 Fasting"

Key Verse: Joel 1:14

Yes, fasting is a type of prayer. There are many that choose to shy away from this form of prayer. There is alot that could be said on the different forms of fasting. It makes me think of one literally presenting their body as a living sacrifice before the Lord. It's a way of humbling ones self. It helps to mortify the unhealthy deeds (habits, desires) of our bodies. Fasting sharpens your ear to hear the voice of the Lord more clearly while at the same time sensitizing your inner man to his prompting, unction or leading.

There are some kinds of issues that can only be moved by fasting. (see Matthew 17:20-22 - Amplified Bible) I personally know of someone who uses this as a form of ministry. Let me explain. When this person hears of someone who may need deliverance from a issue (sexual immorality, drugs, gambling, alcoholism) or say healing (cancer, aids, diabetes) in their body. They discreetly choose to fast for 3 days all the while praying for a divine intervention for that particular person/situation. No fan fare or hype. It's all before the eyes of the Lord. Then when they sense a release they go visit that person to pray the prayer of faith. To God's glory many have been healed or set free by the Power of the Living God through this persons selfless ministry.

Please allow me to leave a word of caution with you as it relates to fasting. Seek a covering from delegated authority such as your local Pastor when attempting any type of extended fast (more than 3 days). Why? Extended fasting leads you into another realm in the Lord which is great. However there are dark forces that attempt to transform themselves into angels of light attempting to entertain, entice, seduce or deceive folks off their Divine path. Delegated authority is in place help you weed out, pluck, shift or discern through these types of issues.

“16 types of Prayer – #9 Praise"

Key Verse: Psalms 148:13

This is one of my personal favorites. This one confuses your enemy. When all five of your senses (taste, touch, feel, hearing, sight) make you want to get in bed while pulling the covers over your head never to come out again only to make a conscious intelligent decision to praise the name of the Lord in the mist of difficulties goes against "good common sense". It's works as a active demonstration of ones faith. This is a fruit birthed from one who embraces the fact that God watches over his word to perform it. There are times when one finds themselves with no other choice but to make a joyful noise unto the Lord. Some moments require us to praise his excellent name in a dance. If you ever find yourself in a rut, try it. There is a shift that takes place down on the inside when one choices to move their body by faith in the form of praise through dance. It's seems difficult to stay down trodden when you actively move your faith muscle in praise. Your atmoshpere changes. Breakthrough in ones life manifests. Joy comes. Deliverance breaks forth. The "Father of Light" shines brightly. Praise is a powerful weapon. Use it regularly.

*******************************************************

"Surprise Me God 30-Day Experiment – Day 10”

A pleasant "surprise" came today when a very well published faith writer agreed to allow us to publish his writings on our Blog. His target population is to those who are "seekers" or "skeptical" when it comes to the faith community. Look for his thought provoking articles soon.

*******************************************************

"Prayer Exercise"

Allow me to say this prayer out loud with you: : "Your word says to let everything that have breath praise the Lord. Father it seems easier to praise you when everything is going right. Help me to praise you in and through hard trials, difficulties or hardships. I believe that we all were made by God and God never makes mistakes. Teach me to praise you from another realm in Jesus name. Amen".

“A little laughter”

The minister was preaching on the evils of drink. He first said he would like to gather up all the wine and dump it in the river. Then he moved on to beer and said he would like to get all the beer and dump it in the river, and then all other forms of alcohol to be dumped into the river. The choir director's face began to show a worried look. The first hymn they were scheduled to sing was "Shall we gather at the river?"
