At first I was definitely in a type of fear - I guess a "fear of the Lord" type of thing - but as I continued down that train of thought, I did the first thing that came to mind. I turned to prayer.
I remember being there in prayer - praying that I could have faith as Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Moses, the prophets, king David, and even the Apostles. I continued on and on - and before I knew it, I guess I "dozed off" in my prayer - it was quite late at night, yet still not really something I think should be happening in one's prayer life.
Nonetheless - next thing I knew I was opening my eyes, I guess realizing that I had dozed off - but even as I was opening my eyes the thoughts going on in my head were almost indescribable. As I opened my eyes - it seemed as though my mouth was still speaking, but I had no clue what I was saying.
When I later think about what just happened - a Bible verse really comes to life:
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
From there - I realize that the Spirit is interceding for me - and most likely another verse is then true in my life:
1 Corinthians 14:2 For he that speaketh in an unknown tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth him; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.
These things allowed to become a reality in my life - that my faith may grow, that I may believe in the one true God - Elohim.
All this to share and say - I do not have faith as these men do/did - and yes I'm referring to Abraham and company. Yet there are people who say my faith is way above theirs - which would bring up a good question to many - where are you at in your faith?
