Have you ever been woke up in the middle of the night with a song in your head and people on your heart? Well that's what happened to me last night. I woke up at 3:15 AM with Chris Tomlin's song of "How Great is Our God" and a few individuals laying on my heart. I stopped (actually I wasn't doing anything to stop)... I got up and began to pray. There was a sense of urgency that I felt in praying. I will follow up with these folks to see how they are doing.
Yesterday's reading took me to the book of Matthew, chapters 3 & 4. I was looking specifically at the role the Holy Spirit played in the baptism and temptation of Jesus. It was interesting to me as I began to look more intently at the Holy Spirit's role. The Holy Spirit served as confirmation, as a sign, a prompter, a guide, comforter, went before the voice of God... all the ways that the Holy Spirit continues to move in our lives.
Today I will be speaking with our local hospital and hospice chaplain to help gain a better understanding of the services provided, and what role a local congregation may serve in to help care for the sick and dying.

What a blessing to answer the call of Prayer from Our Master, even in the nighttime! An awesome book on the life of an intercessor is "Rees Howells Intercessor" written by Norman Grubb. If you so choose to read it, be sure your life will be changed! And of course there is also "The practice of the Presence of God" Brother Lawrence!
God Bless you my brother!
