memorize god’s word
write Genesis 18:14a
Is anything too hard for the Lord?
Our book has given us plenty to ponder on the matter of INTERCESSORY PRAYER.
So I urge you to really sit with the verses we were given and what you learned about intercessory prayer perhaps you even feel led to look up some more on this topic, DO IT! There are many gems in God’s Word about intercessory prayer!
In Ezekiel, God says, "And I searched for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found no one" (Ezek. 22:30, NASB)
Will you answer this call to INTERCEDE in prayer before Almighty God? Will you stand in the gap on behalf of yourself, your family, your friends, this nation, and your world?
Even if you don’t know what to pray, God’s word says
''Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. And he who searches hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. ' Romans 8:26-28
Verse 28 is one of those that we like to pluck out because it sounds good. Don’t get me wrong as a stand alone, verse 28 IS GREAT.
BUT I am just now seeing for myself that God works together everything for our good on the basis of WORDLESS INTERCESSORY PRAYER IN THE SPIRIT! God’s will is done when we bend to the fact that He knows best and works according to the totality of his character(his attributes) and come before Him in humility and surrendered prayer for ourselves and for others!
Remember, INTERCESSION is a weapon in a spiritual battle, so remember to head to Ephesians 6 and armor up and take up the sword of the Spirit(God’s Word) and THEN GO TO WAR!
