Had a little revelation recently re prayer
The video sent in by Barry was great
How Satan stops prayer
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS2g3t7tKN4
 
He mentions something in there about getting interruptions during prayer. He said to not pay attention to them because it would be like starting over from the beginning
Like you build up pressure or force during prayer
And persistence is important to reach a break thru in your prayer life
And of course Satan will do anything to prevent a breakthrough.
 
Anyway, I was reminded of this while participating in a code in which we had to do CPR, chest compressions, for a long time. The patient was hooked up to a monitor that had an arterial line in which we could see the blood pressure constantly in a wave form
When you first start out, even if you are pushing hard, the BP will only start out at about 40-60 systolic, top number.
after a few minutes it will hit a strong blood pressure.
However if you stop to do anything it plummets back to zero.
So it will once again take a while to get the BP up
This is important, because the more normal pressure you have the less chance of brain damage due to lack of oxygen carrying blood flow to the brain
This is the new teaching now, so keep pumping no matter what
 
Anyway, I went to a Russian friends recently and we had family prayer before bedtime
I noticed that they prayed persistently and forcefully similar things, even repetitiously.
I don't know Russian language.
I was reminded of the insight about the prayer force or pressure
I see the fruit in their life which is also a reflection of their prayer life
 
I believe in the days ahead we will really need to have this ability
I think that perhaps this coming difficult time will expedite that
Wouldn't it be great to achieve that now?
