Dry No More, Immersed in His Spirit by Shawn Patrick Williams
During the New Year, in a time of prayer, the Holy Spirit said to me that many of God’s people had been tired and grown weary in their callings. Many had lost hope, momentum, and motivation. He also said that many of His intercessors and prayer warriors had been so attacked by the devil, that they had felt like giving up!
“And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith”.
Galatians 6:9-10
Don’t give up! I believe that 2014 is going to be the year that prayers warriors see breakthrough in their prayers for families, churches, and cities than any year in a very long time. Ministries and churches all across the nation have been praying for revival for America and not only “praying” but “occupying” their regions for Jesus Christ. In the process of serving, Jesus Christ, we have times of discouragement and opportunities to quit through spiritual “pity parties.” This course of action only empowers depression and weakens the momentum of our kingdom assignments.
Don’t focus on your problem but focus on God’s promises. His Word is alive and active! It stops the firey darts of the enemy and causes new life and strength to be released into your soulish realm. You have probably heard me say that your spirit gets born again, but your mind doesn’t. It has to be renewed. Focus on His Word and let the Word do the work.
“For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division
of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”
Hebrews 4:12
God is raising up a brand new generation of intercessors. Young people are arising with fire in their bellies to pray with energy and passion. They are spiritual reinforcements coming into this spiritual Joel’s army.
This radical generation of prayer warriors are what I call “spiritual arsonists.” Wherever they go, they are fire starters. Their prayers ignite sparks of hope, change, revival in the atmosphere and hearts of His people. The Lord is like a fire that spews out of them and consumes the enemy (Psalm 97:3). Their prayers shift and change regions.
“A fire devours before them, And behind them a flame burns; The land is like the Garden of Eden before them, And behind them a desolate wilderness; Surely nothing shall escape them.”
Joel 2:3
“And it shall come to pass afterward That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,Your old men shall dream dreams,Your young men shall see visions.”
Joel 2:28
“Then there appeared to them divided tongues, as of fire, and one sat upon each of them.”
Acts 2:3
“You have made known to me the paths of life; you will make me full of gladness with your presence.”
Acts 2:28
This generation needs the prayer warriors of previous generations to intercede for them and help teach them. They have boldness and passion, but need wisdom. In the year, 2014, God is going to divinely align older and younger prayer warriors. They will team up and strengthen each other. The older will train and the younger will motivate. Both will pray for the greatest revival America has ever known. Reach out to someone today and rekindle your prayer life this year. Find a prayer partner and start a prayer journal. I promise you this, when you do, the Holy Spirit will cause your season of weariness and dryness to turn into a refreshing rain of His presence.
