Holy Spirit > The Force

I took today (Wed) off from work, since I'm working 4 10 hr days now. I went to see Star Wars Episode III. It was cool. I was thinking about "the force" and how the force took the place of God, but was not in itself God. The Jedi were powerless to cause any changes unless they were physically at the point of conflict. Pfft.. weak. Since our power (the holy spirit) is entirely not of us, but of God, we rely on God. And.. Even if we're not at the place that needs help, we can pray from a distance -- interceeding.

Now what I was thinking was... Wouldn't it be cool if we all used technology to alert the other Christians to start interceeding on the behalf of something? Then I got a better idea. God, won't you pour out your Holy Spirit upon us! Won't you pour it out in such strength that we don't need cell phones or the internet, or anything else to alert us to our mission of intercession...

Imagine this... The Holy Spirit alerting Christians all around the world to pray on the behalf of something, no need for technology, no need for communication in a physical way. I am sure this is aleady happening. But it's not happening enough!

Intercession isn't happening enough, and we could use a healthy dose of Holy Spirit telling us when and what to pray for.

God, send us more of your Holy Spirit! In such strength that we all know exactly when and what to pray for! And help us to be radically obedient to your Holy Spirit!

It's not that He's not already doing this, He is. But are we being obedient to listen and obey his leading? Even if we are, we could all use MORE of his presence!

I'm envisioning a time when his presence and power are so strong, there is no question when we're asked to pray. A time when we're so disciplined we'll drop everything and pray, and pray until the job is done!

What if we listened to the Holy Spirit as much as the Jedi listened to 'the force'?!
