Spirit of Intercession:
The Heart of God (part 1)
I once accompanied a husband and wife ministry team to a special
Christian event
held in western Oklahoma at Pop Hick's Restaurant on
old Route 66 in Clinton. The
audience was seated at long dining tables and I sat at
the front of the room with my
minister friends while they spoke to
a large group of men and women.
After a few minutes, the wife turned to me and asked if there was
anything I felt like
God wanted me to share with the
people. Earlier I had noticed a man at one
of the
tables who was seated in a
wheelchair and during the whole time the ministers had
been speaking I kept sensing an urge
to pray for him.
So with the ministers' permission
I announced to the crowd what I wanted to do
and walked over to the man to say a prayer. The
closer I got to him the more I began
to feel a deep compassion welling up
inside of me.
I was finally standing behind him and no sooner had I laid my hands on
his shoulders than I started to weep.
Instantly, words exploded from deep inside and
I began to cry out to God at the top of my voice in an unknown
language. All the while, an extreme heat engulfed my body.
This went on for what seemed like a long time, but was probably no more
than 45
seconds.
As quickly as the experience
started, it suddenly stopped.
Not feeling compelled to do anything else, I began wiping the tears from
my face
and headed back toward the front of
the room to take a seat. My minister friends
stood up and spoke a few more
minutes then asked if there was anyone in the room
who had anything they would like to
share with the group.
The man in the wheelchair for whom I had prayed raised his hand and said
he had
something he wanted to tell
everyone.
Join me next week for the conclusion of this remarkable story
