Liquid prayer

[altya]

Tears in scripture play a unique role in a spiritual breakthrough. In Psalm 126 it has a deeper meaning. Here we discover that the planting of seeds accompanied by a spirit of brokenness will not only bring a spiritual harvest of results but will leave the sewer with a spirit of rejoicing in the process They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.

He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves
This passage along with numerous others in scripture regarding a spirit of brokenness, pictures a variety of purposes and functions related to what might be termed "the ministry of tears" a ministry Charles H. Spurgeon defined as "liquid prayer
There are tears of sorrow or suffering (2 Kings 20:5)
2. There are the tears of joy (Gen. 33:4)
3. There are the tears of compassion
4. There are the tears of desperation (Esther 4:1-3)
5. There are the tears of travail or giving birth (Is 42:14)
6. There are the tears of repentance (Joel

Well. let's see.......ummmm....how many of your posts have I read in my life....hmmmm. Oh well , some have not meant much to me personally: some have been anointed, to say the least: some I have agreed with, and some I have not. So many of them have blessed me in a very special way. Some have moved me and touched me deeply.

But this one surprised me a little. These scriptures are very meaningful to me and Charles Spurgeon is a personal hero of mine.

The application of the Scriptures in Psalms are those used in soul winning. And I am a man of great love, though my love is seldom understood. Often my love is "tough love", but it is love nonetheless.

Anyone who has a heart filled with love is well aquainted with tears. Love and tears go together like heat and warmth.

Thanks for sharing this with others. I pray it will touch them and they will give some thought to the ministry of tears.

<SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">Those who are called to intersession prayer will understand the term 'liquid prayer’ because sometimes when we enter into intersession with so much empathy for the person we pray, we travail only with tears. <SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">&nbsp;</SPAN>&nbsp;<o></o></SPAN>
