“Watching is a vital part of praying. God wants us to seek out the holes in the walls of nations, churches, and individual lives. Just as David and Joshua found out why God’s blessing had dried up, it is our job as prophetic intercessors today to find these gaps and fill them with prayer.” – Murray Dueck
As a ministry leader, I was standing in the gap…
with the gap becoming wider and wider …
and watching some who once prayed with me, lose their way…
“…Moses, Aaron and Hur went to the top of the hill. As long as Moses held up his hands, the Israelites were winning. But every time he lowered his hands, the Amalekites began to win.” – Exodus 17:10b-11
…and, eventually my body said, ‘enough is enough’ and crashed…
BUT…
The process of healing and renewing my strength…
…(with bits of my story) were the following… 🙂
1. Blessing Prayers and Breaking Curses
2. Heart Wound Healing Prayers
4. Bonus: Something I’ve learned about my gifting while resting…My Spiritual Sensitivity and Burden Bearing
Thought: One advantage of chronic fatigue and chronic pain in recovery from ministry fatigue? I felt the Lord’s presence more strongly. I can now tell when the Holy Spirit has given me more of His strength. Because I’ve got nothing. It’s like a jet propulsion or something.
Less of me, more of him! 🙂
Sweet Jesus, thank you!
