Even though it’s now been almost a week since the conference ended, I wanted to get my experiences down before I forget them. It has taken longer than I thought to process my emotions and reactions to the conference, so I’m glad I had 5 extra days in Hawaii to do that. I’m still trying to figure out what I make of it all.
On Thursday night, Christy’s session was about inner healing, which apparently is not the talk she normally gives. Usually, she speaks on physical healing and then uses an example in her talk to show people how it works, but that’s not so easy when the pain is emotional, deep and usually private. As expected, at the end of the session, she told the crowd that her prayer team would be at the front praying, and we had all prepared before hand so that everyone knew who would be teamed up with whom and where each would be in the room relative to the other teams. I was to do private intercession, which Cynthia had coached me on well before hand and also control the crowds at the front of the room.
At one point, as lines of people still waited for prayer, Christy came over to me and asked if I could help her with prayer in her line because she was beat. She said that I could pray silently, so that’s exactly what I did. I realized that Christy really just needed the Holy Spirit to bolster her strength so my interceding prayers were for that. Each time she and Cindy would begin a new prayer for a new person, I prayed for Christy’s resolve and healing, strength and conviction, but I never said a word. I was glad to experience what it was like to be a part of a prayer team, but was also relieved that I didn’t have to stretch beyond what I felt comfortable doing.
