"The Prayer Room"
Metro Vineyard Fellowship had a prayer room they would meet in three times a day, Monday through Friday, for an hour or so. They played worship music for a bit to start each session. I started going and just loved it.
The second heaven would open up for me and I would see the angels. It appears the Lord had made it a special place for his people to gather and minister to him as he ministered to us.
Two particular angels, I used to call the laughing angels. Sometimes they would talk to each other and end up rolling in laughter. Each time they spoke though, it was incredibly profound, and they tracked the prayers of those coming forward to lead a prayer, sometimes commenting on them.
I decided to ask them why they laughed so much just to see what they would say. One of them looked me very seriously in the eye and asked, “Do you know the power Satan has?” I responded that I doubt that I did. He responded stating, “We do”. And just burst out laughing seemingly not thinking too much of Satan.
Sometimes I would have visions, which were helpful during times of looking for answers and the Lord would answer in that way. We also would pray for those seeking prayer at times. I was introduced to a man whom all I knew was he was from overseas. He was wondering about the prophetic and came over to check it out.
During my prayer for him, I received a vision. It showed him in an allegorical way as Robin Hood. It showed his wife as Maid Marian and friends of his as various characters of the story. Sometimes he and his wife would laugh, sometimes they would cry, but at the end it seemed they had gotten the answers they had come for.
My time was short, and I had to leave right away afterward. Scott came up to me after services that evening and asked me about how it went with him. I told him a bit but then he asked me if I knew where he was from. I told him that he was from Europe somewhere. He informed me he was from Nottingham, England. I then understood why the allegory of the vision.
During one meeting when John and Cheri were there, an angel was up front praying for those overseas. A man came up front and started praying to those being prosecuted overseas. I didn’t connect the dots until after the service when John asked me about what I had seen. I told him about the angel, but I didn’t understand what he was doing. He asked me if we were in the same meeting reminding me then of the man praying for the persecuted. I then connected the two.
That is my problem sometimes, going into a vision in the second heaven I do not always connect it to what is happening in our world.
For me the prayer room was a fantastic place to go, and I learned a lot there. Some of the best prayer times I have ever had at that time in my life.
