This morning the message from the Lord was clear. He said, “Don’t forget about everything else that needs your prayers.
I woke up this morning ready to pray. I grabbed my phone to send out the “wake up and pray” message to the women in my 1 Hour Prayer Challenge Group, and right when I picked up the phone, the notifications were staring me in the face and I read one that spoke about a death due to the virus. As I kept walking to the prayer closet, I could tell the enemy wanted me to focus on it because I have been praying for this virus to end (binding the virus in Jesus name) and praying for healing (loosing healing in Jesus name).
Today’s prayer time was so powerful! I felt the strength of the Greater One IN ME! And the Holy Spirit kept bringing up words like: REMEMBER, REMINDER, DON’T FORGET. I even thought about the wooden communion table at my childhood church which had the words “DO THIS IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME” etched into the front panel.
Of course I asked the Holy Spirit for more and He said:
Don’t let the enemy steal your memory.
Don’t let the enemy steal the ideas I give you.
Don’t let the enemy steal your assignments.
Remember all that I have done.
Remember all that I AM doing.
Remember the scriptures you’ve learned.
Remember the praise and worship songs that you have sung.
Remember the sermon notes that you took.
Remember the last time I pulled you out.
Remember how you trusted Me the last time.
Don’t forget WHO I AM.
The Holy Spirit wanted me to remember Him this morning! I believe He was also saying, don’t forget about all the other things that are going on in the world that needs your prayers. Don’t let COVID-19 distract you from other evil that’s still moving around seeking to steal, kill, and destroy. Yes, the prayers for this virus are essential, but your prayers are also STILL necessary for domestic violence, regular violence, sex trafficking, homelessness, depression, bereavement, hungry children, abused and mistreated children, lust, sexual perversion, sexual immorality, and even the broken-hearted.
When I flipped open my Bible to the Scriptural Surprise, God never fails. I went right to Matthew 6! I am telling y’all, the Holy Spirit will back up what you hear in His Word. In Matthew chapter 6 it talks about how to give; how to pray with the Lord’s Prayer in verses 9-13; how to fast; the cure for anxiety and worry; where to store up your treasures (in heaven and not on earth); how you can’t serve two masters; and lastly, a reminder for us to SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF GOD and HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS.
As we self-distance, isolate ourselves, and continue to pray for what seems to be the most pressing problem, let us not forget to pray for everything else that is still going on. That’s why praying in the spirit (in unknown tongues) is so necessary because it provides a way for us to pray about things that we wouldn’t think to pray about or things we aren’t even aware of. The Holy Spirit, Who knows everything, can pray things through us that our natural minds know nothing about.
Meanwhile, the moment we get tired in the waiting, God’s Spirit is right alongside helping us along. If we don’t know how or what to pray, it doesn’t matter. He does our praying in and for us, making prayer out of our wordless sighs, our aching groans. He knows us far better than we know ourselves, knows our pregnant condition, and keeps us present before God. That’s why we can be so sure that every detail in our lives of love for God is worked into something good. Romans 8:26-27 The Message
What’s funny is that I had that thought yesterday when I was looking at the news. It’s like the weather doesn’t even matter any more. It’s like crime just all of a sudden stopped. Ain’t nobody robbing nobody no more? Is the virus causing criminals to self-distance from crime? Praise the Lord if so! I know one thing, what the enemy meant for evil, God has ALREADY worked it out for our good in every situation! But we must not forget to stay on our prayer post. We must not forget WHO THE LORD GOD IS, no matter what we see or hear. We must REMEMBER to take heart because Jesus said in John 16:33, “I have overcome the world.”
Hearts and Hugs!!
