Prayer Tunnel

Thursday night was women’s night and Nicole led it (She mentioned earlier this summer in a previous posting). She had been felling that the lord wanted us to do a prayer tunnel. This is when the group gets into two lines facing each other (like what one would see at a Hoe Down) and then everyone goes through the tunnel and is prayed for. The whole time the people in line are praying for whatever the Lord is leading them to pray for, regardless of whether or not they are laying hands on the person walking through. The people walking through are not praying but receiving prayer from the tunnel.
This whole experience was amazing. People were just in constant prayer, the Holy Spirit was moving in that room. People started taking longer amounts of time to pray for the women passing through the tunnel. It ended up to be a traffic jam in the tunnel. Sadly we had to end it as it was getting to late, so more then half didn’t get through the tunnel. Nicole said that she has never seen it last that long, we just wanted to keep praying over each other. I thank God for this, because people may now see that praying for long periods of time isn’t as bad as the enemy would like us to think.
I would love to see the Train Station do this. It is awesome how the Lord gives you things to pray for as the person is walking through the tunnel. I know that there were two girls that the Lord let me see into their lives. One girl, He had me pray over her future and where she would go with that. Let’s just say that the Lord has big plans for that girl in foreign countries. Another girl, I just saw her dancing before the Lord, He didn’t want her to hold back. It was such a blessing to be used by God to speak into my sisters’ lives.
Like I said, I would love to see the Train Station do this. The staff project director told us in the beginning of the summer that “There is nothing that makes us love others more than praying for them” I feel that this would be an awesome way to encourage each other, love on each other, and build each other up in prayer.

I love you all, and as I have said many many times, I miss you all very much!
With the deep love that only Christ can supply I remain your sister,
Jessica

I'm used to calling those "fire tunnels" (as in the fire of the Holy Spirit). And they tend to have RATHER dramatic results. 'Tis great fun, and often a source of much blessing.
