Note: Some random thoughts I had one night on spiritual manifestations. May or may not be accurate...
The spiritual is manifested in the physical through man. As children of God, it is our responsibility to act as gatekeepers, allowing the things of God to pour out in the natural through the working of the Holy Spirit. We are to fight against the attempts of Satan to exercise power in the physical world, block his attempt to use man to bring glory to himself in the spiritual. Satan tries to glorify himself in the spiritual through sinful acts of man in the physical. As gatekeepers we allow the Holy Spirit to lead us to physical acts that glorify Him in the spiritual. The power the Holy Spirit has given us is to hold sway over what passes between this world and the spiritual plane. The more our soul (mind, will and emotions), which is the physical half of our current two-part being, is under the alignment of our justified spirit, the better gate keepers we are.
Prayer is our most efficient tool in fulfilling our earthly purpose, and therefore the most effective. Audibly speaking prayers especially yield us command over attempts of Satan to pass into physical manifestation and brings forth greater workings of God because it is our physical expression of the spiritual power the Holy Spirit has granted us. There is life and death in the power of the tongue.

I like this.
"The spiritual is manifested in the physical through man."
I've learned through past experiences that the spiritual can be manifested through His creation...other than man. Does that make sense? God is calling His people to pray more. Like Brian says, "It's not what we do in prayer, it's what He does to us when we pray."
Hope you have fun in Rome. Tell Don I said hey and that I'm enjoying his book. Haha.
You know I was thinking about that the other day too, God manifesting himself through creation. I guess that's why I wrote the disclaimer. But you are very right. God is calling us to pray. Prayer is the key to opening spiritual flood gates. This is a concept I understand so little of.
By the way, who is Brian? I like what he says.
