Intercession

-Meditation-

Isaiah 62:1

--TheSecretPlace--

Right now I just want to talk about intercession, because we are about to take a little while doing into depth, and really seeing intercession come forth in the scripture we are going to be digging into which is 1 Samuel, and we will go with that until the LORD directs me, and leads me elsewhere in His Word.

Isaiah 62:1

For Zion's sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not be quiet, until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning torch.

The LORD right now is calling intercessors-HIS PEOPLE- to cry out to Him non-stop. 24/7. ALL THE TIME. Have you ever done something and never stopped? Really? The only thing I can think of is breathing, but sometimes people stop breathing, so what was the LORD talking about when He said to pray without ceasing, to never be silent?? How can we do that? How can we never be silent?

Well one thing I know is that He doesn't call us, and He doesn't expect us to be yelling at Him, all the time, or even talking out loud, I think it means a number of things, and I will definitely be getting my hebrew, and greek dictionary/concordance to look up the meanings of the words in these passages, but right now I just want to define it as to Stand in your faithfulness to Jesus with a prayerful spirit in prayer always--meaning to consider everything you do in prayer- and to follow His lead. To be aware spiritually, and to have a constant cry for more of Him in our hearts.

I would say that the thing we underestimate most in the Christian faith is not even prayer, but the God we pray to. I don't think we consider as much as we should the promises in His word that says over and over to ask and you will receive, whatever you ask for in prayer will be given to you. Those are important verses, but even I find myself reading, and viewing them as a normal everyday thing, I dont feel like I take those verses seriously a lot.

I believe though, that the LORD right now in the earth is raising up day and night intercessors, and slowly but surely bringing people into the realization that He said what He meant, and meant what He said when He said those things. He is inviting us to be apart of what He is doing, and He is looking for people to respond. Right now I just want to encourage you in prayer, to do what it takes to get to the place of prayer in partnership with Jesus. Do what it takes to get closer to His heart. Get involved in prayer. The LORD hears the cries of your heart, and He wants to pour out His Spirit on your life, and tends to do that to those who ask. Prayer is not a pointless thing that takes us nowhere, and really praying itself can't do anything for us, but the GOD WE PRAY TO CAN. What is on my heart is will He hear our cries, and see just people going through the motions, or will He see those who really really truly want to know what is on His heart? I believe He will find both, but what catagory will you be in? What a somewhat dramatic question, but I don't think this has to be hard, and I don't think it is a hard question, you either want to partner with the LORD in prayer or you don't, and you are not disqualified if you think you cant, ALL HE WANTS IS OUR 100% EFFORTS, He just wants you, and I to try, and He loves that. So I encourage you strongly to run into His heart in the place of prayer, and He will pour out His Spirit on you whenever He pleases whenever that may be.

the point is not to be cool intercessory people, there is nothing cool about us except for the God we serve, but the point is, and will always be LOVE. So let's pour ourselves out to LOVE(God) for LOVE(God).

---Intercession---

Jesus I love You, and I just pray that You would make Yourself known to Your Bride, and call us deeper into Yourself, and into Your heart. God, You are awesome, and I just pray that as You call Your people to prayer, and to the house of prayer, I pray that the faithfulness in their hearts would minister to others, as it ministers to You, and I pray that people would just be attracted to You because of the fragrance of those they know who are continually, non-stop in prayer. Thank You for what You are doing in the earth. I love you LORD. In Jesus Name. Amen.

Be blessed with many blessings!!
