I’ve been provoked again… this group I’m in (an E-12- an end-times Bible study), has continued to provoke me, it seems that every time I go I am thrust into further things of God. The last time I went we were only there for a few minutes because we came late, but again- provoked to more! I really think it’s the people that are there that are faithful in prayer and are close to Jesus that are doing this to me- they don’t even have to do anything, it has to be the Spirit in them so heavy that even their presence convicts me that I have to have more of God!
Last time reminded me of excitement that I used to have that I don’t have right now. The spirit of prayer broke out and people started to travail- usually when this happens it’s a pretty loud experience. One person with urgency said ‘We need to go somewhere or we’ll be here all night,’ everyone stood up to leave quickly- Ben and I and Zuriah didn’t end up going because of Zuriah, but they all went together to somewhere they could travail all night if necessary. Amazing. This is provoking to me!! I remember being in high school and the same type stuff would happen with unrighteousness- people would get really excited about something and would be about something all night if necessary to feed what was in their spirits. Where did this excitement go? I know I’m a mom and it’s probably unrealistic for me to travail all night (especially since Zuriah sleeps with us), but that doesn’t excuse why my spirit isn’t exhilerated at the thought of it. Very convicting. I need to have more of God.
