Prayer: Day 1

Got up this morning.  Went to the small room.  Spent an hour in prayer and praise and worship to and with God.  I suppose prayer is like any other sport.  You might not be good at it at first, but at least when you first start, you’re doing it.  then, as you continue to practice, you gain the skill and the physical and mental capacity to excel at it.  thus, just because my strides aren’t as smooth or my hits as accurate as I know they should be, that doesn’t mean I should throw in the towel on my first attempt.
In the last 15 minutes, I began to worship God.  It seemed a little strained initially.  Tomorrow I will start with praise and then worship to set the atmosphere.  Anyway, I knelt down and after I’d prayed in tongues, I sat in silence and listened.  This is what I heard:
This school year will be your most triumphant, but you will also work the most.  I have sent you to that school and assigned those children to you so that you can intercede for them.  There are so many spirits coming against those children and you will begin to discern them as they come through the door.  For some children, you will literally see the spirit of death on them.  You will anoint your desks and chairs with holy oil at least once a week.  You will anoint your hands with oil every single morning that you step into the school building.  You will spend one day a week fasting and praying specifically for your students, careful to call out the name of each child you teach. 
You will also lose many “friends” this year.  As you pursue me this will happen, but don’t worry because I will replenish you in a way you can’t even imagine.  Remember, seek ye first the kingdom of God and all its righteousness and everything else will be added unto you. 
Before church yesterday, i say quietly and wrote down what i was hearing.  Devote yourself to one hour of prayer each day for the next six weeks.  It will transform your life.

so....before one can complete a journey...one must take the first step.
