A Spear in the Back

All day long my lower back, right on my spine has been killing me. Like really hurting. I rebuked and everything I knew to do. Then I had the thought that this was a word and not for me.

So I was speaking in a group tonight. After I finished sharing and everyone was leaving, I remembered the back pain. I asked anyone in the group if they had back pain. This woman immmediately said yes and her friends started laughing - she was taking shots to deal with pain. So a couple of us prayed for her. She said it felt some better. I wasn't satisfied with that so I waited after the rest of the time when I could talk more with her.

As I waited to talk to her, I prayed that the LORD would show me what was going on. The LORD showed me a huge spear in this woman's back. It happened in a scenario like the one in Rick Joyner's Final Quest of a group of glorious warriors go out to fight too quickly and getting ambushed from the rear by the enemy. I sensed this woman had eagerly gone out and had been wounded.

Later, when I did get the chance to pray for her, I didn't share all that I had seen. Instead, I told her that the LORD loved her eagerness. I prayed a cloak of humility over her and then I pulled out the spear that was stuck in her back.

She was very grateful and I was ready for my back to stop hurting.
