Devotion, faith, Holy Spirit, prayer

Close the Door

How many times growing up did you hear that phrase?  “Close the door!”  If it involved a screen door it might be, “don’t slam the door”.  

In the early hours of Saturday morning I woke up praying.  Has that ever happened to you?  I’ve had it happen a few times–and it always involved a dream where prayer, urgent prayer was needed-immediately.  It was 2:04 AM.  When I woke, I was actually praying in the Spirit and the need was critical.  I’ll explain in a minute.  

I got up and came to the living room–knowing there was someone I needed to pray for but didn’t know who.  On my knees I called out to our Father in Heaven.  I don’t always kneel–sometimes I sit–but this feeling that I had–I felt I needed to kneel–like we did as grandchildren growing up when we stayed summers with Mama and Paw-Paw.  On my knees it’s easier to block out other things.

I don’t remember how long I prayed–but when I finished I took my notebook and began writing all that I could recall of the dream.  I don’t feel impressed to share all the details this time–but I do feel you need to know the message that I felt the Holy Spirit was impressing on my heart to share with you.
