Spirit-Led Prayer - Part 1

I believe this is an important teaching for the Church of Jesus Christ. I would ask that you give it wide distribution. If you want to order the tape, call 315-469-555 and ask for "Spirit-Led Prayer", 1/17/2001, by Vince Aquilino and the church will give you details. The tape of this teaching was damaged, so I re-recorded the first 4 or 5 minutes and as a result, it does not have the same anointing as the rest of it, but please stick with it.

If we are going to survive during tumultuous times we have to learn to hear the Lord's voice and learn how to pray.

I also received a prophetic dream the night after I taught this message on prayer and would like to share it with you for your consideration and insight:

A Prophetic Dream - 1/19/2001 about 7 A.M.

Vince Aquilino

I had just arrived at a hotel for a wedding. I was late, held up in traffic. I arrived by cab. My wife was outside sitting, a few others were there - they were already in wedding clothes.

I was told that I had to hurry. I went into the hotel and went up to the sixth floor. I was briefed by a man in a white suit. He had something to do with the preparations.

I felt like I hadn't done everything right and I kept asking him - what is it you would have me do?

He told me to work on the communication system with the same zeal I had worked on other things - like cutting the grass which I gathered that I had done an excellent job because I saw the grass cut in perfectly neat swatches.

The phone rang and I asked him what was going on and he said there were to be a few phone codes set up that could not be "squelched out", but communication would go right on through.

I felt I had to hurry. I went out into the hall, hurried down the hall. I knew the man in the white suit was still behind me at the door of the room I had just left watching me.

I told him, "do you know what time it is!!!?"

I had to get to the 10th floor. There were only 10 minutes left. I passed a man I knew who turned into a stairwell. I yelled at him to wait, but he started up the stairs.

I noticed I now had a tuxedo on.

While I was waiting for the elevator, one elevator passed the floor heading down. The next one stopped, the door opened and I got onto the elevator. It was very small and I barely fit - I felt the door brush against my back as it closed. I noticed I had mail in my hands to deliver.

I got to the 10th floor and got off - I had to back out because there was no room to even turn around. I almost forgot the mail, but the man who got on the elevator on the 10th floor I asked for him to hand me the mail, which he did. The mail was all bundled neatly with a rubber band.

I then went down a short corridor into the main locker room. I looked around. There were people, mostly older woman, some men, standing by their lockers. They were spaced every 3 to 4 lockers - a lot of room yet.

I did not know which way to turn. I asked where to get a key. Someone pointed down the hall. I started down the hall. A different man I knew in the past passed me going the other way - apparently he had already gotten his key - I presume.

I found a woman with a cart. A few people pushed in ahead of me. I asked her what she needed from me - I presume to get the key.

I had a red perforated card in my hand - she said she needed my "heart" which I started to remove from the card by tearing along the perforations to give it to her.

I woke up.

===============================

The above was the dream, this is the interpretation (I could be interpreting it wrong, but this is how I see it right now)

I first thought this dream was just for me. But since I had just taught on prayer the evening of the dream (and the Lord had brought the message together and anointed it) and the dream was on communication, I believe I am being told to not only improve my own prayer life (communication with God), but am being called to promote prayer as a ministry with the same zeal I have done the other prophetic watchman ministry the Lord has called me to - as there is not much time left. It seems clear that the prayer life of the church is sorely lacking

Six is the number of man, 10 is the number of testing. The wedding is the wedding feast of the Lamb. God wants my heart - I presume to purify it because only the pure in heart shall see God.

Only 10 minutes left, not much time, refers to the lateness of the hour. I noticed I did not arrive in wedding clothes, but received them on the way to the elevator. I believe this indicates that the wedding feast of the Lamb is very close (we're about to go up in the rapture - as I did on the elevator and I noted I received my wedding garb before I went up the elevator), but many still are not clothed in white - not prepared as the 5 foolish virgins.

I think the man who ran up the stairs and did not wait for the elevator, represents mankind trying to climb the stairway to heaven under their own effort as opposed to just letting God do the work (the elevator)

The fact that the elevator was so small that it only held one, barely, is representative of the fact that narrow is the way to eternal life and few find it and it is an individual decision to chose Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord.

The fact that I had to get to the 10th floor and that their were only 10 minutes and 10 is the number of testing could refer to the persecuted church in Revelation 2:8-11 or the 10 virgins - 5 were ready and 5 were not.

To the Church in Smyrna:

"To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again. I know your afflictions and your poverty -yet you are rich! I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. Do not be afraid of what you are about to suffer. I tell you, the devil will put some of you in prison to test you, and you will suffer persecution for ten days. Be faithful, even to the point of death, and I will give you the crown of life. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not be hurt at all by the second death. (Rev 2:8-11)

This may mean that the church is about to be tested as we enter into the tribulation period - a time of persecution, or perhaps it is for me, that I will be persecuted and maybe even put in jail for a time, but to be faithful even to the point of death, but I think it means persecution (a time of testing and separation is coming).

Ten could also represent heaven, because ten is the number of dimensions there are and God inhabits eternity. Mamadadies (spelling is incorrect I think), a 14th century Jewish cleric, in studying the extra letters in the title of the book of Genesis, concluded there were 10 dimensions…this was confirmed by particle physicists about 10 years ago.

I believe that I, and others, am going to be given direct prayer access to the throne - all Christians are supposed to have this access, but the dream mentioned that prayers could be "squelched" out during this time of testing, perhaps just as Jesus' prayers were not heard by the Father during His final moments of testing.
