Playing football with prayer people
Yesterday afternoon I played football with the ZHOP (Zadok House of Prayer) people who have moved here to Fort Mill, SC, from Kansas City, as fulltime intercessors (prayer warriors). This was the most anointed group of people I've ever played football with. No doubt that some of the players on the field that day will go on to become major apostolic leaders in the church in days to come. I felt honored. It would be a great story to tell my kids in the future.
The leader, Michael, had wanted to exercise to get in better shape, so he gathered a bunch of his friends for a round of American football. Though we were only playing flag football (not tackling), it was still pretty physical out there, as it is the nature of the game. On more than one occasion I knocked one of the more anointed worship leader in the House of Prayer to the ground to break up a pass. If that person had gotten hurt, than I would had committed a grievious sin! Thank God that no one was injured.
I played an OK game, with several good defensive plays, a touchdown catch, 2 touchdown passes, and an interception. Our team lost by a score, but we are not ashamed of it, since we had one less player on our team than our opposition. It was a good day of exercise.
