I released the Wordless Prayer Five Day Devotional in September 2024. I'm adding it here to encourage you as we enter 2025.

Watch the video and let us enter the unspoken realm of glory together.

I also have a transcript of the video below. It isn't perfect, but I hope it blesses you.

Thank you so much for joining me on this journey through Wordless Prayer, the five-day devotional. 

I believe that this devotional is really going to radically take you into a place of encounter with the Lord and also encourage you quickly that the book Wordless Prayer is going to transform your life. I really believe that it is, and so if you've not gotten the book itself, I encourage you to do that. But go ahead with me today and jump into this first part of this five-day devotional of wordless prayer.

Day one is the unspoken realm of glory, and you're going to see in the description an encouragement to enter into this wordless prayer, this place of glory.

But in this video, I'm going to read the scriptures with you and I'm going to actually help you learn what it is to go into this place and experience the groan of the spirit and the realm of glory that God would want to take you into, and so let's open up even that right now with prayer. Father, I thank you for those that are watching. I thank you for those that are reading. God, I ask you that you would take them in to the power of your presence and grip them by your spirit, that they would no longer wander or wonder if you are there with them in the place of prayer and intercession. Be with us as we come together in this quick time of devotion to learn how to pray and to learn who we are in you, in your place of glory, in Jesus name. Okay, open up your Bible with me right now, if you will, or your phone, whatever you have to Romans 8, 26. Let's look at Romans 8. Actually, I'm going to read I put Romans 8, 26 on the devotional. 

I'm going to read Romans 8, 20, because I want you to understand that the whole earth is groaning for one thing and one thing alone, and that is what it says in verse 20. For creation was subjected willing, not subjected to futility, not willingly because of him who subjected it in hope that creation itself would be set free from its slavery to corruption into the freedom of the glory of the children of God. We know in Genesis that when the fall of man happened, when Adam and Eve fell, that the curse did not just come upon Adam and Eve, but it came upon creation itself. And so the answer to creation is that mankind would take the rightful place again in redemption, so that creation itself would be redeemed. We see that in verse 20, so that creation itself would be redeemed. We see that in verse 20. Yeah, verse 19. Just above 20. Go back and read that later. 

And so, in hope that creation itself would be set free from its slavery to corruption Into the glory of the children of God, verse 22. For we know that the whole creation groans and suffers the pains of childbirth. Until now. Why does it say until now? Because not only this, but we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves, grown within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the fullness, the redemption of our bodies. For in hope we've been saved. Saved, but in hope, that is not. Hope. That is seen is not hope, for who hopes for what he already sees? But if we hope for what we do not see, with perseverance, we will wait eagerly for it. 

There's verse 26, my favorite. In the same way, the spirit also helps our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we should. But the spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words, and he searches the hearts and knows what the mind of the spirit is, because he intercedes for the saints according to the will of god. For we know that god causes all things to work together for the good of those who love God, are called according to his purpose, for those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed into the image of his son. What are they predestined for? To be conformed into the image of his son by the power of his spirit, because they were redeemed by the power of the blood of the lamb, and the power of his spirit, because they were redeemed by the power of the blood of the lamb and the sacrifice of christ on the cross. We're predestined, because of his blood, to be conformed into his image. Why? Because we are gripped by the spirit and transformed by him into ones who would agree with him in intercession. 

What his intercession is?

To bring redemption to the earth. What? Because the earth itself, creation subjected to decay, is groaning that we would know our identity as his sons and as his daughters verse 30 and these whom he predestined, he also called. And those whom he called he also justified, and those who be justified he also glorified. So what shall we say to these things? If god is for us, who could be against us? All right. So I read a little bit more than we put in the uh devotion. But in our weakness. 

We need to understand that when our words fail us, the holy spirit himself is interceding with us and through us, with prayers that we do not have english language to utter.

But first of all, we have to understand who the intercessor is. Jesus is the intercessor. The scriptures say that Jesus is at the right hand of the Father making intercession for us. The cross of Christ itself was the greatest place of intercession that we would ever see the blood of the Lamb, jesus, christ himself, shed for us on a cross as the intersection between heaven and earth that we enter into by the power of the spirit and by the power of his blood to come boldly before the throne of grace where we are able to receive mercy, where we're able to be redeemed from our own decay, our own corruption, justified, strengthened, sanctified, in order to enter into the intercessions of Christ, which would be the redemption of the earth. 

And so this wordless language is not wordless at all.

There's language in heaven, there's language of the spirit, where we are gripped by him, by his desires, by his prayers, by his intercessions. In the gap in between what is promised in the scriptures, the the decay of the earth, and what we are experiencing. We step into that cross, we step into that place of intercession and the spirit himself will pray through us and in us, wordless prayers, actually full language in heaven, full language that we don't understand, but wordless prayers in the place of intercession, as we enter in and agree with him. 

And so remember, in these moments the spirit is at work. He is bridging the gap between the heart of God and your heart.

He's bridging the gap between the broken and the promised of wholeness and completion. You are even longing for your fullness of redemption and your adoption as sons, but he, the first fruits of the spirit, promises us even earlier in Romans, that it's by his spirit that we cry out Abba, father. So we have been adopted, we've been redeemed, but we're awaiting the fullness when the tears and the crying and the decay that we experience on this side of eternity is no more. 

But, as those who are his, the earth itself, the creation itself is groaning for us to take our rightful place and be unveiled as his sons and as his daughters in the place of prayer, in the place of redemption, because of the gospel, because of what Jesus did for us, and also to understand who we are, even in the place of frustration, that we have authority and we have power. 

And so, Lord, I'm asking you right now that you would cause those that are watching, those that are reading, those that are watching, those that are reading, to be taken up into this unspoken realm of glory, as it says in Romans 8 also that it is Romans 8, 18, for I consider the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that is revealed to us. 

So, Lord, we ask you right now that you would take them from the sufferings of this earth into the glory that will be revealed to them in the unspoken place, where you have language that is greater than any language of the earth, that is greater than any language of a demon, that is greater than any language of an evil one, and, lord, that you would take them up, that you would grip them and that you would cause them to be baptized in your spirit with fire, awakened to the revelation of intercession and your spirit itself, your spirit. 

Begin to pray through. My friends, right now, in the name of Jesus, I want to encourage you, as you go deeper into this devotional, to sit quietly with the Lord, find a place and allow yourself to silence the noise, and you're going to have noise, you're going to have distraction, your mind's going to go 100 miles an hour. But to silence the noise and allow him to come in and encounter you. I pray for the grace and the power of God to be with you as you enter into this place of the unspoken realm of glory. In Jesus name, amen and amen. I will see you tomorrow.
