“It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
I Corinthians 13:7
Have you ever experienced ‘the
wall’?
Maybe you were praying or
worshipping and it just didn’t seem to be making a difference.
Beyond that it seemed there
was real resistance to your prayers and worship.
Maybe you are a Pastor or
worship leader and you have experienced the same thing.
It is as if there was a wall
that your worship, your prayers, your preaching just is not getting past.
What do you do?
You press on!
Maybe the Holy Spirit will
reveal what the wall is but maybe He won’t.
We were encouraged this past
week by Kristi as she as our worship leader faced just such a wall.
As she called out to God for
an answer, He encouraged her to declare the promises over her life as well as
those of the worship team and the body of Christ at His Place. Much took place as she obeyed and ground was taken for
the Kingdom.
As I thought about all that
she shared I was reminded of the series on love we are in the midst of.
One person loved those at His
Place enough to push through in prayer for the rest of us. She loved the Lord enough
to be obedient as directed her actions so that ground might be taken.
I saw the word wall as an acronym:
We
Are
Living
Love
As we both individually and
corporately live love through moments
like our worship leader experienced last week we will see more and more ground
taken for the Kingdom of God.
When we care enough (translated
love!) for ourselves and others that we press through in prayer to see the
victory, those walls will come tumbling down!
(Note: It is not always easy
to succinctly capture my thoughts and experiences in a daily blog, let alone
those of someone else to readers near and far but there are some important
lessons that can be learned from what was shared so I have attempted to express
but one small aspect of what I believe God was doing through it for all of us at
His Place.)
