spirit of prayer

Last Thursday, in prayer school, after the teaching on praise and worship (by a colleague), i led worship. Just two songs. The glory of God descended upon us as we lifted our voices in worship near the end of the second song. It was already towards the end of prayer school, but it was at that moment the atmosphere distinctly intensified, and a deep adoration of our Lord rose up within me. I knelt and worshipped Him.

Then the spirit of prayer just fell upon many of us. This felt different from the adoration just minutes before, and we continued praying in this manner for another 10 to 15 minutes past the end of prayer school. Tears fell as i cried out on behalf of people i did not know. It was as if despair took hold of me. It was as if i experienced, together with those who have yet to confess Jesus as Lord, the hopelessness they felt. My hands were on the floor as if supporting me.

At times, i felt i just needed to hold hands with someone to take hold of it together with me.
Then i remembered that the Holy Spirit helped us to pray as stated in Romans 8:2-28.

Another shared after prayer school that she felt she was in the midst of utter darkness as we prayed for souls. i saw her kneel, then bend over till her face was almost touching the floor.

God is surely doing a work to advance His own Kingdom.
