Hello!
Welcome to another edition. Please, spend some good time in studying these broadcasts and the scriptures given. They will move you to another level when you are baptised/immersed into them.
There are still some things to say along the line of INTERCESSION.
Thank God for intercession.
Many times to move from point A to point B you need intercession.
This goes to the parents, if your kids will be Godly and fulfill destiny, you have to INTERCEDE ON THEIR BEHALF. Your intercession can wade off evil company from them. Don't wait until they are grown, right from the womb, lay your hands and pray. That baby has ear to hear in the womb. Don't say 'he/she is still young, he/she doesn't know anything'. Your kid must be baptised in the Holy Ghost talking in tongues from childhood.
John the Baptist was full of the Spirit from his mother's womb. Luke 1:15. Your kids must have been walking in the supernaturals from childhood.
All parents reading this, if the verses of scripture below are not true in your child/children's life/lives, you are very wrong:
Luke 2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.
2Tim 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
The above should be true concerning your child/children.
May God give you understanding. Many problems in the world originate from POOR PARENTING.
The Bible talks about Epaphras:
Col 4:12 Epaphras, who is one of you, a servant of Christ, saluteth you, always labouring fervently for you in prayers, that ye may stand perfect and complete in all the will of God.
If saints will stand perfect in the will of God, we need 'MANY EPAPHRASES'.
There is too much carnality, shallowness, low concentration, little commitment to God. All we have are LIGHT WEIGHT CHRISTIANS.
We need intercessors.
You may not receive the accolades and praises of men but, the Father who sees in the secret will reward you OPENLY both now and in the life to come.
The parameters the Heavens use in measurement is completely different from ours. In fact, I found out that the measurement of SPIRITUAL STATURE AND REWARD are different also.
Intercession doesn't belong to the PRAYER DEPARTMENT.
It is NOT A TALENT LIKE SINGING OR ACTING,
IT IS ONE OF THE MOST HONORABLE PART OF OUR PRIESTLY MINISTRY.
THE RESPONSIBILITY BELONGS TO ALL OF US.
Thank you Holy Spirit for reminding me.
In interceding for others, COMPASSION IS A NECESSITY. Many times, you feel what the person is feeling whether sickness or pain. In praying for the lost, you can even be feeling lost. An intercessor most times takes the place of another. There have been times I have felt sickness. It was in the place of exercising authority over it that I got to know it is not for me. I had to intercede for the person.
IDENTIFICATION IN INTERCESSION
In intercession, it is necessary that the intercessor identified (put himself/herself in the place of the person he/she is interceding for). Many prophets and leaders in Israel practised this principle when they interceded for the deliverance of Israel from captivity; Nehemiah (Neh. 1:6), Jeremiah ( Jer. 3:25, 14:20), Daniel ( Dan. 9 ), etc.
You identify with the sins of the person/people as you plead on their behalf for mercy.
Listen, Nehemiah and Daniel were living comfortably even in captivity yet, they identified with the suffering of their people and they pleaded for mercy.
It is easy to play the Blame Game (the oldest game on earth).
Adam though identified with his wife by eating the fruit, but, when God showed up, he shifted the blame on the woman.
Our Lord Jesus was tested and He passed the test. One of those tests was the woman caught in adultery. John 8.
When Jesus was asked for His opinion, HE STOOPED DOWN- typifying that He identified with HER FALL. HE BEGAN TO WRITE ON THE GROUND-typifying that He identified with HER FALL. HE BEGAN TO WRITE ON THE GROUND-typifying that He wrote her sin on the ground(a type of His own body). He said 'he that is without sin among you should cast the first stone'. When the accuser left, He said that He wouldn't condemn her. He told her to sin no more.
Hmm, this is deep. He was the only one qualified to cast the stone yet, He refused. Instead, He granted her pardon.
There are types and shadows in the Bible. This is one of them. That woman typifies 'the Bride of Christ'. Just like what Eve was to Adam. That particular art guaranteed our salvation. It meant that Jesus will not condemn us even when we go wrong.
May God grant you access to thus truth.
Maybe, I will teach about types and shadows later on.
In intercession, don't separate yourself from those you are interceding for. Jesus identified with our weaknesses, sin, etc so that He can be a merciful High Priest. Heb. 2:17, 4:15. Shalom.
Let's proceed.
THE PRAYER OF SUPPLICATION
This is calling God's attention to man's needs being backed up by God's promises.
It is done MAINLY FOR BELIEVERS.
It is the legal side of prayer. You are acting as a lawyer on behalf of a believer/believers.
HOW TO SUPPLICATE?
A. Write down your request.
B. Write down the reasons that will make God to answer you.
Note:
The reasons should consist of natural things and scriptural reasons also.
C. Write out the scriptures to back up your prayers
D. Then, PRAY.
The prayer can be done in tongues and in understanding.
Elijah and some others that I have mentioned before used SUPPLICATION in INTERCESSION.
Supplication is a prayer that GOD IS BOUND TO ANSWER. He doesn't answer this prayer with SILENCE. No! It's either He do what you have requested or give you reasons why it can't/shouldn't be done.
Even though, Deut. 29:29 is true, Probe until you can't probe any further. Many times, we back off too quickly. Stay there. PRAY UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPEN. Press until the door is opened. Travail until you give birth. Until you see the travail of your soul and you are satisfied, DON'T QUIT.
In this type of prayer, Don't pardon or pity God. Don't try to explain away why the thing happened.
If you are persistent enough and you stay long enough in prayers, the King of Zion will show up.
Daniel stayed in prayers for 21 LONG days until MICHEAL was sent to break through the demonic garrison in Persia and Gabriel brought the answer to him. Imagine if Daniel had been like many of us today.
Many of us give up too soon and have allowed the enemies to shout for joy. Many believers have died because those that went on the scene couldn't hold out in prayers. Many times, the spirit would have returned to the body and God's name would have been glorified. Most times, we give up in the darkest of the hour when the light is about to shine. Stay around until you get an answer.
This is not the 'Not as I will but yours be done' prayer.
You bring forth your strong reasons. Is. 41:21. Remember that this is a prayer prayed for or on behalf of BELIEVERS or for sake of the Gospel.
Eph 6:18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
6:19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel.
We supplicate for saints and intercede majorly for the lost (there are some other categories that I pointed out yesterday that we also intercede for).
Let me stop here today. I will soon be through with prayers. Oh my! There are some other terrible weapons we are going to learn about. These broadcasts are not to provide illumination alone but, to grant you access into them. The portals are being for you as you read them with faith.
