Tuesday: Overcome In the Spirit

[Ynott]

Anybody else feel this yesterday? I was overcome in the spirit (for lack of a better explanation). I fell on my face and couldn't get up (no, I'm not ill) and HAD to pray.

I have no idea why this happened yesterday of all days. It was a big day and I had a lot on my mind, but everything just "went". I thought I wanted to pray for something personal, but the thoughts were pushed rapidly out of my mind. The words "preserve" and "worship" kept coming up in my mind.

It was almost frantic in its intensity (probably because I didn't know what or who I was praying for). I searched my heart and my mind and just prayed for everyone and everything and then gave up and just prayed for God to use the prayers as He wished. That's when those two words kept coming up.

I tried to get up and kept falling down. I have no illness or conditions that would cause this and am in excellent health, so don't worry. It has happened only rarely to me, but it has happened before. It was like there was a "great movement" going on...a struggle (?) perhaps. Tears and prayers flow like a river when this happens. I don't know why.

I didn't notice anything big happening yesterday and no one I know was in extreme need of prayer, so I have no idea. Did this happen to anyone else yesterday (Tuesday, March 2) or has this ever happened to anyone else before (It has happened to me before...so just wondering).

I never knew then or now why my prayers were wanted/needed. But I give them nevertheless.

It is very exciting when it happens and very nerve wracking as well (since you don't know "why").

Oh well...I feel like I'm on "tip toes" today. It tends to leave you "tuned" so to speak for days. I could easily pray the entire day away....but I have so much to do.

God bless and keep looking up!

Yesterday was different for me. I had to pray to get through the day as it was enveloping me.

Yesterday was terrible for me! I woke up at 4 AM and couldn't rest until I had prayed, and when I got up the day went from bad to worse. I would not have been able to bear it at all without Him with me. As I prayed in bed before sleep took me at the end of the day I poured it all out to our Father and He comforted me, and today has been a much better day.

Halleluyah! and Maranatha! :dancing

Yes.

I spent most of the day in prayer and greiving in my spirit.

The whole day overwhelmed me and seemed to not end. I didn't sleep, again, until 2am.

Goodness! I wonder what is going on in the heavenlies?

[NateNKayliesMom]

YES!!!! I was so overwhelmed with a burden yesterday but didn't know what the burden was for. I had to stay in prayer & stay focused on God or I wouldn't have gotten through the day.

I went to see The Passion Monday night & just assumed it was after-effects of the movie. SOOOOO thankful to know that what I experienced yesterday was not just me!!

:freaked Wow - thanks to all of you for sharing.

Do you think it could have anything to do with the upcoming Democratic presidential contender? I believe yesterday (Tuesday) was something specific in the political arena.

Yesterday was Kerry Super Tuesday, and there was also a meeting the the big guys of the road map in Washington. Bush, Solana, representative from the Pals and Israel, and representative from the Arab nations.

Lissa, remember my thread a few days ago in the Pretrib Oasis "Shifting to an eternal perspective"??

Your reply {about the stress of uprooting and moving} caused me to begin praying for you.... YESTERDAY especially!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was definitely called to pray that you place your entire focus on Jesus in the coming months.

The connection between God and His children continues to amaze and THRILL me.............

[Kyrie Eleison]

Me too, and my spirit still feels heavy today. Yesterday was TERRIBLE. I couldn't figure it out. I kept telling myself nothing was wrong, but it didn't feel that way! :confused

[GloryBound]

I thought it was just me.

Whatever it was, it was bigger than "me" or anyone I knew.

Sounds like it was even bigger than I thought.

I think I'll be more in prayer now.

God bless you all.

[Ynott]

Today was very difficult too. I had to pull the car over to the side of the road. I don't know what's going on.

Continuing in prayer.

I did not sleep well last night, at all. Something odd was up.

I just kept praying throughout the night, I'm feeling similar this morning although it has eased up a bit, still praying for some specific things, although I'm not knowing exactly what is troubling my spirit for sure.

Our dog was growling whining last night too, very unusual and interesting- especially considering the way I was feeling. Even the air outside last night seemed different.

Even though I got very little sleep, I feel rested, alert and watchful.

Okay, now I'm sounding :wacko
