Every now and then the enemy will come around to oppress the saints who are active in service to the Lord. This has been something I have experienced for over four decades. This spirit came upon me two days ago and I recognized it right away. This morning it was the heaviest of the attacks.
The one thing this spirit tries to do is to hold a person down from action. It is a gross heaviness that feels like a spiritual compression upon the mind, soul and the flesh. Self negating bombardments of negative thoughts come in that have power to cast down. It's sole purpose is to stop believers from their calling in life. It has to be fought off aggressively by direct prayer against it. It seems to last for a whole day or days if let go.
Along with the fighting it off is to continue to press forward in doing the things you do for the Lord anyway no matter how much it presses you down. Never allow this attack to keep you down, let it never rule over you. Go forth in the might of your own will no matter how heavy it gets.
Never surrender yourself to this spirit, but overcome it by overt, committed obedience to the commands of God in its face. Serve God even if under the sheer weight of it and never leave your post ever. You will conquer well.

There has been an ongoing drawing of God in my heart in times of prayer. I have been experiencing a moving of God about it. It is not about praying more or less but about the depths of it, the vastness of it. The unsearchable riches of it and how beyond our understanding it is.
Yesterday morning I was thinking about prayer during devotions because I had done a message on it a few days ago. I was going over things I had shared. I said to myself, How vast and eternal prayer is.
The momment I said that I heard His still small Voice within say, If you can describe heaven you will be able to describe prayer. Moments later I heard more....You grow into prayer until you become the prayer.
God wants to take you farther and deeper into prayer in ways only He can do. It is not in verbal excercises, or reading chapters of books on how to pray or go deeper. Those only impede the process. Remember prayer is an eternal thing. Once you pray it remains eternal.
Begin to go beyond thin prayers hoping God will hear you. He is not a tempramental God, but a rich, full and flowing God of spiritual, ceaseless rivers and streams of life-giving waters. Start believing God for greater things, it honors Him. He deserves our believing in Him since we call ourselves believers.
Reach out to Him and watch what He will do through you. Prayer reveals Jesus Christ so That all the people of the earth may know that the Lord is God, and that there is none else.
“Prayer [is] the quiet, persistent living of our life of desire and faith in the presence of our God.”
