Prayer Continuously

It often times amazes me how God speaks to our hearts through the preached Word. Where I placed focus on one topic in a sermon someone listening may focus in on a part of the message that I hadn't even thought of. That's the way it was the other night at one of our church Bible Studies. I was focusing on prayer and that we, as Christians, should always be "in step with the Spirit". It is interesting what one chuch member got out of the message:::::

Scott, I was just thinking about tonights message, about praying continuosly. It is something I try to practice. I understood the purpose many years ago. I havent been as deliberate at it as I used to. So I wanted to type it out. I know the Lord, has no email addy.LOL I believe he will honor what I have typed and told someone else. I chose you.

Funny story is. I used to pray alot when I worked at the plant. I would pray walking around and while I was doing my work. Sometimes under my breath. There would be unbelievers around. The Holy Spirit would warn me not to upset them. So I wouldn't look like a specticle and spill my pearls to those that are blind. I would sometimes be praying for people, sometimes praying praise.
What happened one day. I was praying and walking back into my shop. One of the guys heard me. He asked, "what are you doing?" I had been clean and sober and walking with the lord for 3 yrs. He had been ripping me about my faith many times. To not start anything. I just said, " Im sorry my muffler broke" LOL. He didnt have a come back. The other workmate cracked up laughing. He was a deacon at his church. I believe it was words from the Holy Spirit. God has a sense of humor....
