A Midnight Call- REMEMBERING 911- NINE HOURS BEFORE THE ATTACK I remember waking at or a little before midnight approx 9 hours before the attack. I knew immediately I had been called to pray and intercede. I heard and sensed in the spirit "grave danger". Then I felt a boulder like heaviness. I am an intercessor and often am quickened to intercede, but this was the most notable prayer burden I had experienced. I felt pulled down, as if a force was pushing against me. The force against me was so strong that I cried to the Lord to help me to pray, this prayer burden was heavy. There was the most horrid perception of hopelessness. All I could say was one decree, one thing, HOPE. I felt impressed about my daughter, Lois, Tene Afi Jenkins, a young Wellesley graduate teaching in the public school system of in New York. City. I prayed for approx 30 min. slept and was awakened again. This time the heaviness was soo grievous I could only weep. Even my tears fell heavy on to the floor that I had crawled down to in order to lay prostrate. I slept and again at 3 AM was awakened. This time I felt strengthened for the task at hand. I sensed that there were others who had joined the watch and lifted up the prayer burden. Even still I was acutely aware of grave and imminent danger. I prayed till 6 and prepared for work. I prayed for leaders in our world, nation, state, city and neighborhood. I thanked the Lord for His promise for my children, " All your children will be taught of the Lord and great will be the peace of your children." Within an hour upon my arrival a co worker came in and announced the attack. I went to see it on the TV in the break room. My daughter went through the tower twice daily in her commute to school but felt impressed to go a different way that morning. I couldn't speak to her until later that evening. But I had a peace that passed understanding. I knew my baby was alright. As I reflect I am thankful that I heard that midnight call to pray. God helped me to answer the call. I was reminded of God's promise, that the prayers of the righteous availeth much. I believe that I interceded for daughter and for our nation on those prayer watches. It is easy to criticize our leaders, but wisdom says watch and pray. Pray for those who have authority over you, that you may lead a quiet and peaceable life.
