for your consideration: headcoverings
by Sandra Higley
Editor's note: While this was my personal experience, I do not mean to imply that this is the only legitimate interpretation of 1 Cor. 11:3-16. Rather, we offer it as an interesting possibility on a frequently overlooked prayer passage.
“Hey, sis, I want to tell you a true story” my brother, Chuck, raised his voice in an attempt to be heard over the rush of wind coming through the open windows of his vehicle. My friend, Sharon, and I had spent the last several days prayerwalking some strategic strongholds in the area. Now my brother, a missionary to Indonesia, was chauffeuring us to the Yogykarta airport where we would depart for Bali on the second leg of our 1997 10/40 Window prayer journey.

On prayer and fainting
by Dr. Mell Winger, contributing editor
Three times in my life I have fainted. Each time the pain level was so intense that my body responded with an “I’m out of here” attitude. One of the times I fainted in a doctor’s waiting room in front of a little boy. As I hit the floor drifting off into unconsciousness, the last thing I remember was the boy exclaiming, “Mommy, what’s wrong with that man?!”

David Bryant and the Holy Spirit nudge
We were planning the fourth issue of Pray! magazine (J/F ‘98). The topic was revival, and we had invited David Bryant (then president of Concerts of Prayer International) to meet with the Pray! staff as we sought God’s direction for the issue. David began to give us a vision of what revival means—what it looks like, what it accomplishes—and my spirit began to burn within me. The more he talked about the manifest presence of the Lord, the more I felt like I needed to be face down on the floor! At one point I shared with the group: “I want our articles to inspire readers to feel what I’m feeling—I feel like I need to go off and pray right now!"
David Bryant looked me straight in the eyes and said, “Maybe you should.”

“I have posted watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will never be
silent day or night. You who call on the LORD, give yourselves no
rest, and give him no rest till he establishes Jerusalem and makes her
the praise of the earth” (Isaiah 62:6-7).
