Good Days…and Heavenly Days

This morning in the BHOP (Brussels House of Prayer) was one of those times when it seemed easier to hear God and vision just seemed to be so clear.  We came away from that watch with a definite set of objectives that we know He has given us to get accomplished. And we all heard Him.  The worship was sweet. The devotional time was full of revelation. We started a 4-part series by Billy Humphrey from IHOP-Atlanta entitled “Zeal for the House of Prayer”, which is amazing. The discussion time afterward was great. Today was a good day in the prayer room.

I wish I could say the same about every watch in the prayer room.  That would be heavenly. The days where His tangible presence is felt are glorious.  But, in all reality, those days are not the norm.  Many days in the prayer room are raw and seemingly un-anointed.  I worship and pray,  because I know that is what God has called me to do.  I say, “Soul, worship the Lord whether you feel like it or not.”  I pray out of principle not feeling. Sometimes it feels like routine and rut, but you know what?  I think that when you get an eternal perspective of the prayer room, you realize that the mundane days bring as much glory to the Father as the precious, anointed days.  Abba loves it when we press through to hear what’s on His heart so we know what He wants us to speak forth that day.  He is glorified and satisfied when we worship Him from voluntary love, not because we are made to, but because we choose to.  He is worthy to be glorified no matter how we feel.

I am grateful for days like today.  They make all the routine days so worth it!  I’m grateful for the not-so-good days, though.  They teach me perseverance and commitment….and the joy of voluntary love for the uncreated Lover of My Soul.
