Yesterday was packed with action, some of it quite good and some less so.

At the end of the day I was feeling pummelled from all directions, but there was one particular thing that I felt was undermining me in a spiritual sense.

I don't want to be specific at this point as this blog gets around a bit and to point the finger would do quite a bit of damage.

Anyway, I went to bed feeling stressed and tense. After an hour of failing to sleep, I decided to hit this thing in prayer. Rather than hitting out at personalities, I felt that it was important to direct it at the principalities and powers that were behind the problem.

I prayed hard for about 45 minutes and suddenly the heaviness and tension lifted. I went to bed and within minutes was fast asleep.

It would be nice to think that the problem is dealt with, but I still have to do some people work. The good news is that God has cleared the way and there is a direction to go down.

It's amazing the difference that prayer makes, especially when we take it seriously!
