I was staying with my grandparents at the trailer in Lexa. My pastor and his wife came and picked me up to goto a prayer meeting. We got there in Elaine and I believe it was at Johnny's house. Everyone arrived and we started praying. We formed a circle and I stood in the back a bit in a doorway almost and began praying.
I was praying in tongues and in my mind I began focusing on the people there in the prayer group. I focusing on praying specific things for them using my mind but with my tongue I was only praying in a spirit language. I continued around the room praying specific things mentally for each person.
When I got to the end of the circle (I skipped myself) I didnt know what to pray for so I just continued to pray in tongues. I began to notice my pastor who had moved to the center of the room. He started with the exact person I had started praying for just a few minutes before. He prayed out loud the EXACT prayers I had focused my mind on for that person. As he moved from person to person he prayed the EXACT things I had prayed for these people. He continued around the circle to the end and prayed almost word for word the things I had prayed as I focused on each person and he skipped me as well. I know there is no way on earth that my pastor could hear my prayers as I was praying quietly and in tongues.
This prayer has been an amazing focus for me in my life. So many times it has reminded me that I know God is real and that prayers have amazing benefits even when we dont know exactly what, when, where, or how our prayers will manifest their answers.
I've never in my life talked with anyone about what happened. I've thought about it a few times but for reasons I dont remember I never broached it.
