INTERCESSORS ARE A RARE BREED!
It is not our fine clothes, or cars, or bank accounts that are going to win the lost! And it is not Fund-raisers, Polished Communicators, or Building Contractors that will build the Church of the Living God…but INTERCESSORS!
• ABRAHAM…dickered with God over Sodom…
• SAMUEL…thundered from his knees, “Spare my people!” and the Philistines came NOT AGAIN TO ISRAEL DURING THE LIFE OF SAMUEL…1 Samuel 7
Paul “…I could wish myself accursed for Israel’s sake!”
In Luke 11:1-8…right after they asked Jesus, “Lord teach us to pray…” He tells them of a man who needs bread and goes to his friend at midnight. HE ASKED FOR 3 LOAVES…but because he was URGENT AND TROUBLESOME…HE GAVE HIM AS MUCH AS HE NEEDED!!
JESUS EVER LIVES TO INTERCEDE FOR US!!
But you will never know the ministry of intercession until you allow the Lord to put you in their place…to let you by the Spirit understand their despair…
• The anguish of a broken home
• The loss of a child…
• When the one you love says, “I don’t love you anymore”…
WHEN YOU CAN FEEL THEIR PAIN AND HEAR THEIR VOICE IN THE NIGHT…
THEN YOU’LL PRAY!
