A vision and some encouragement regarding prayer:
I saw someone holding up a shield and someone else supporting their arms to keep the shield high.
Intercessory prayer for your sister’s and brothers assists in elevating their shield of faith. It helps them to keep their hopes high, to keep pace and continue to fly. It shores up, gives strength, and delivers power and help right where it is needed.
Praying in the spirit is the spiritual equivalent of marathon training. The more you do it the stronger your spirit becomes and the quicker you can find My Kingdom, for it bypasses the interference so you can easily pick up My intelligence.
“But you, beloved, build yourselves up [founded] on your most holy faith [make progress, rise like an edifice higher and higher], praying in the Holy Spirit…”
Jude 20 (AMPC)
