Where the Spirit of the Lord is ...



Today, when I woke up, I had an overwhelming urge to pray. I didn't exactly know what all I needed to pray for, but it's amazing what God reveals as we step out and just START to pray. 

In my spirit, He would bring people to me to pray for. As I would focus on one person, another would pop into my head. I had one friend that I felt led to pray for, who, when I told them I had been praying, she explained that she really needed it today and to keep praying! 

I love listening to His leading....

During the day today, I felt that prompting of the Spirit to pray again. Once again, I didn't know why or for what I was praying, but I did it. I prayed in the Spirit for awhile. At work, I have one place that, anytime I am there, I am at peace. I knew that if I went there, I could really pray out whatever it was that the Lord wanted me to be praying about. 


While I was praying in this room, the following is what I felt in my spirit. I had to write it down while it was fresh. I felt like God was saying:


"Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Freedom to pray. Freedom to worship. Freedom to bask in His glory. Where we allow His Spirit to move, we experience a freedom like never before experienced. The Spirit of the Lord is in this place. Freedom is here. Peace is here."


God is SO good. His Spirit leads us into perfect peace and freedom. I make mistakes. I screw up and hurt people (unintentionally, of course). I sin. I am human. BUT God is bigger than my mistakes. God is bigger than the trials of this life. Where I allow HIM to lead, I can know without a doubt that there is complete freedom!
