Boots on the Ground

MELISSA—A good practical way of praying is boots on the ground prayer.  The Lord may simply instruct you to go somewhere and just BE there and not say a word.  We carry the Eternal in us which far surpasses what’s happening in the atmosphere.  So, you may just need to carry that eternal realm to a location as a catalyst for what God is doing.  This is where Matthew 6:7 comes in really handy.  Just be, don’t babble.  I saw this in effect a couple of months ago.  There was an event happening in my county that had the potential to cause all kinds of sparks to fly.  Knowing this, even though I really wanted to go,  I questioned for a week if I should indeed go.  Finally I got the answer that I was supposed to have my boots on the ground.  It was an all-day event and I may have prayed once or twice as I was directed.  I never witnessed any tense moments and found out later that nothing had erupted and that was quite amazing.  Don’t discount just being where God tells you to go.
