Rachel is on our prayer team at Journey Church. Our team meets before the third service and we pray together.<\/h6>\n
Rachel\u2019s in a wheel chair. She\u2019s intelligent and beautiful but she can\u2019t talk or do things without assistance. She communicates with her eyes to let us know when she is finished praying.<\/h6>\n
\nAfter each person prays, I call on Rachel to pray and we wait. I watch her face to see when she opens and shuts her eyes to let me know she has finished. Today as I watched her it was like the Holy Spirit was allowing me to understand what she was praying and feeling. Her smile was over-powering, chill bumps ran up and down my body as I felt the presence of God and saw Him on her face\u2026it was so beautiful. So, I wrote the following poem. I hope it touches you in a profound way. To know that God can use anyone if we are willing.
\nShe was in an auto accident as a young girl, she has an amazing story. She lives with her mother, Darlene who takes amazing care of her. Please keep them in your prayers.<\/h6>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Praying in the prayer room<\/h6>\n
Children of God proclaim<\/h6>\n
Taking authority, praying in Jesus Name\u2026<\/h6>\n
Lord, set souls free, bring salvation and victory<\/h6>\n
As we boldly come into your presence and believe<\/h6>\n
For healings and deliverance,<\/h6>\n
We will sing and dance entering heaven\u2019s thrown-room yes, we will take this chance\u2026<\/h6>\n
To storm the enemies camp and there, we\u2019ll, advance<\/h6>\n
The Kingdom of heaven\u2026<\/h6>\n
We can\u2019t see heaven with our natural eyes<\/h6>\n
But as our flesh-man surrenders; our own will dies\u2026<\/h6>\n
Holy Spirit and fire, consume us with your desire\u2026<\/h6>\n
To do, and be, what you\u2019ve called us to be, thank you Jesus, for setting us free\u2026<\/h6>\n
We are praising the King of kings\u2026Oh, hear your warriors pray\u2026<\/h6>\n
Come Lord Jesus and have your way\u2026<\/h6>\n
We\u2019re praying for miracles, in our community today.<\/h6>\n
Looking at a precious soul, she\u2019s trapped in a body, that isn\u2019t whole<\/h6>\n
And yet, her smile of pure joy, saturates her soul\u2026<\/h6>\n
I watch and I\u2019m engulfed in your Holy Presence\u2026<\/h6>\n
Holy God; shivers running up and done my spine,<\/h6>\n
Her smile reaching into eternity to touch the heart of God\u2026<\/h6>\n
I\u2019m undone\u2026<\/h6>\n
To know and see what you\u2019ve begun\u2026in people\u2019s lives today\u2026<\/h6>\n
It\u2019s as, if, she had a glance on heaven\u2019s highway, talking with you face to face,<\/h6>\n
Oh, Father what you did in this room, as your warrior prayed; what mercy, what grace\u2026<\/h6>\n
Words not spoken verbally, for she cannot\u2026but words from the heart touched your heart\u2026<\/h6>\n
It shook me at my core\u2026her faith opening heaven\u2019s doors\u2026when she prayed\u2026<\/h6>\n
A perception I saw, as I watched her face and a smile, I can\u2019t explain\u2026<\/h6>\n
Heaven\u2019s smile from this young girl\u2019s heart\u2026has lit a fire, a holy spark<\/h6>\n
Joy, unspeakable, joy, is pouring out from this holy reservoir\u2026my soul soars far beyond this universe\u2026<\/h6>\n
This was not rehearsed\u2026out of my heart praises burst, as I sense Your Holy Worth\u2026<\/h6>\n
There is no doubt\u2026Jesus you smiled on her today\u2026<\/h6>\n
Souls, made new, because of you, Jesus<\/h6>\n
It was Your smile, reflected in this anointed child\u2026that brought about a brand-new light\u2026<\/h6>\n
Rachel, smiling with the angels as her spirit took flight, into heavens glorious portals today!<\/h6>\n
