Rooms of Intercession

Entering into Passionate Prayer

Chapter 7 Room #2 The Mummy Wrap Intercession is exciting but not necessarily comfortable all the time. I discovered this some years ago while praying alone in my bedroom one afternoon. I recall so vividly kneeling at my bedside to pray as Id done in times past. As I began praying in the Spirit the presence of God quickly filled the room. Then I began interceding for lost souls, specifically for homosexuals. Finally I began to pray deeper into the situation until I found myself lost in prayer. Everything in the natural realm around me grew dim as my spiritual senses were heightened. I knew that I was going into another room in the spirit. Then something very frightening happened that Ill never forget as long as I live, I became one of them; the very ones for whom I was praying! It seemed inconceivable but I knew that it was real as I began to think and feel just like a homosexual. The way I saw things were no longer through my own eyes, but through the eyes of a homosexual. It was a terrifying reality that I had now become someone that Id never been before! As the door to this room was shut behind me, I wanted to scream. I desperately wanted to run and quickly get out but the Lord had other plans. As a homosexual, initially I did not think of myself any differently than anyone else. The thought never occurred to me that my lifestyle was abnormal until I began to hear voices in the air. These voices were all around me declaring the love of God and the truth of His Word. I listened very intently. At the outset the truth seemed as though it was piercing through my soul like a sharp arrow but soon it melted into my spirit like a soothing salve. Although my mind wanted to resist I knew deep within my heart that the things that I heard were true. As I kept listening I began to understand Gods message to me. The picture became clearer and clearer. Then the reality suddenly hit me, I WAS NOT BORN THIS WAY! Somehow I knew that the sexual lifestyle that I had chosen was perverted and displeasing to the God who created me. He is pure, holy and all righteous. He wondrously made me as a precious vessel of great value in His sight. He is the Creator of every beautiful thing upon the earth and He has never made a mistake. As the truth continued to penetrate my heart I became utterly appalled because I realized that I had been deceived all this time by the great Deceiver, Satan himself. Finally I knew that I had to make some changes. I made no excuses; I was ready to do the will of God. So for the very first time I began my pursuit to break free from this repulsive lifestyle. When I took the first step forward to break free, I remember trying to move my arm, but could not. Then I tried to move my legs but it was as though I was completely paralyzed. Finally I looked down at myself and was absolutely shocked! My body was totally confined in a mummy-like wrapping of thick chains extending from my neck to my feet. This wrapping about my body prohibited me from moving any part of my body. I felt like a helpless prisoner trapped in my own body. No matter what I tried to do, I could not break free. I did everything that I could think of, but it was to no avail. It was as though someone had locked me up and thrown away the key. The terror that I felt in my heart at that moment was like an indescribable nightmare. While in this room of intercession it seemed as though I had been squirming under the mummy wrap for days upon days, trying to get out. Although I had a desire to be free, I could not get out. My head was the only part of my body that was mobile. I just couldnt understand why I could not get out. As I continued to squirm and try to twist my way out, I began to feel great pressure in my mind. The tremendous frustration and unrest within me intensified as I kept trying to free myself from this entrapment of horror. It seemed as though everything was
