HOVERING OVER AND BRINGING FORTH: Prayer Note # 50

Dutch Sheets : "Now, Let's 
make the  prayer connection. 
These are the very  same words 
used in Isaiah 66:8: "As soon as 
zion travailed (chuwl) she also 
brought forth (yalad) her sons." 

This is extremely important! What the Holy Spirit was doing in Genesis when He "brought forth" or 'gave birth to' the earth and the world is exactly what He wants to do through our prayers in bringing forth sons and daughters. 


He wants to go forth and hover around individuals, releasing His awesome power to convict, break bondages, bring revelation and draw them to Himself in order to cause the new birth or new creation in them. Yes, the Holy Spirit wants to birth through us.


     Maybe you've been in a meeting where the Spirit of the Lord began to hover over the whole room and move in a particular way. At times God has even done this over entire communities. 

In many of the classic revivals of the past, stories are told of an individual driving close to a church where God has been moving in mighty ways and the person begins to weep, goes to the church, walks inside and says, 'Something drew me here and I want to get saved.'


     What happened? The moving or hovering of the Holy Spirit became so great that He brooded over an entire geopraphical area to bring forth life...


The Spirit of the Lord is being released through this intercession to hover over not only cities, but entire nations. We will see dramatic revivals as this hovering continues and intensifies through the prayers of the saints."

What I am learning from the Prayer Notes, is such a big help! I'm sure they will be inspiring for all my readers...Dutch Sheets has good advice and explanations for how to pray. What he has shared in his book, Intercessory Prayer, is what we've needed to understand God's desire for us to pray, and why.


I do hope many will take the time each Tuesday and Thursday (or a different day you check in) to read his bits of information that I'm sharing with you, my readers.
