I think I mentioned that lately Ive been waking up every night right before 3am. Its been almost two weeks now, its like clock work, and has been throwing me off during the day. Feeling annoyed I spoke with a friend. I said I dont know whats going on but I cant sleep at night. My habits are the same but Ill wake up feeling like its time for me to start my day or something. She then turned to me and said maybe you need to pray about something. Maybe God is asking you to spend some time with Him and talk to Him. I said you maybe right. I have always been fascinated by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the great intercessor. It is He who calls us in the midnight hours for intercession and prayer. If He uses a close friend to let me know that Im being called, Im going to listen. Sure enough, last night I woke up at 3am. But this time it was different. I looked around my room and got up to pray. Many years ago a thought came into my mind. It was more of a great task. Occupied with how I thought my life should be, I never acted on it. 10 years later my entire world was shaken up, but God left one path open. I took that path and realized I was on coarse to complete the task that I had thought of so many years ago. This year has been everything but it is only preparation for whats to come. As I kneeled down to pray I already knew what to pray about. God may grant us certain blessings but we have to remember to deny self. As I prayed the words came naturally. Its as if Ive been needing to say something for so long. As if subconsciously Ive been harboring worries, doubts, disappointment, fear, and the weight of knowing its almost time to carry out this task. Forgetting who I had in my corner, I began to function as if I was on my own. My conversation with the Lord ended right before 7am. It felt like a weight had been lifted. I remembered that He made a way and will see me through. I was reminded that its not about me but the fact that this work will bless so many. In turn glorifying Him, bringing so many of His children back to Him. Im so used to praying at a certain time and saying the same thing. I didnt even realize it but Ive fallen into this routine. At times God sees what youre going through and says Slow down for a second, I need to speak with you. Because He knows its time for you to grow into the next step/phase of your purpose. But dont take that step without Him leading the way. Praying in the midnight hours isnt a hard thing. It simply means devoting the midnight hours to Him and if He says you can rest, then rest, but if He says to rise, then you rise. If He says to pray, then you pray. If He wakes you up early then listen to the Spirits calling and come into the Lords presence; spend that time with Him on your knees. We go through labor for hours to birth a child into this world. I believe its worth the hours to birth something in the spiritual realm as well. #Jesus
