Canaan's Journey

Posts Tagged ‘prayer’

Many readers will find it interesting that this ole’ Baptist girl could be, at any certain day or time, praying in tongues, the Heavenly Language from God.

But at the age of 20, I started attending an Assembly of God church which as most know, have a very strong style of pentecostal worship.   It was there I learned a deeper way to praise God, to communicate to Him, thus to deepen my walk with God.

Many songs have come since that time, and were birthed from the time I became filled with the Holy Spirit with the utterance and witness of speaking in tongues.

WHAT???? ARE YOU CRAZY MEL?  Thinking I must be kind of “out there” now, right?

Well, you probably will never hear me shout in tongues in a church service, nor hear me pray in tongues in front of a crowd, or even around my band members as we pray before our concerts.

Nevertheless, when I pray like this, in my prayer closet… I find such power and such anointing like no one will ever know unless you’ve done it.

The other day, as I was experiencing a very dark and disappointing moment of my life, I felt hopeless, helpless and my whole being was just waning from the weight of it all.  Discouragement had overtaken me and consumed my every thought.

I began to pray in tongues, and as I did, I heard such strong words from God. Tears poured out of me that I thought had dried up, and were to never come again.

Allow me to share those words from GOD with my friends:

MEL, It is WELL with your soul. You have done good things and I have seen them all.

You say you’re broken like the leg of a horse that is primed to run a race.

But I tell you that I will HEAL you, and you WILL be able to run the race to completion.

You will run and not be weary…
you will walk and will not faint…

You say that your foundation is crumbling underneath you from the burden of it all…

I tell you that My yoke is easy and my burden is light. I AM the CORNERSTONE and will supply all your needs.

I will REPAIR, RESTORE AND REBUILD.  Thus you will see a powerful turn in ministry like you’ve never seen before. 

I’m not finished with you yet… More lives to touch, more souls to heal.

Wait on me Mel… Wait on the Lord.  It IS WELL with your soul.

Hey everyone!  Maybe the answer is not for today, but we must wait on the Lord, and HE WILL RENEW our strength.

May God richly bless you and overtake you with love.  HIS love.

hugs,
mel
