And Then He Spoke
As I knelt to pray,
I began my petition,
"Please, hear me, Father,
As I give voice to this condition.
A friend has a deep need
And asked that I intercede."
As I began to tell
All that I knew,
Speaking from my heart
As I had learned to do.
Then, I became quiet,
Listening for His precious word.
Then, He spoke
"Yes, my child. I have heard.
Long before the earth
Was set into its place,
I saw this situation.
I even knew their face.
Rest assured, my child,
Nothing escapes my mind.
In the long time ago, I planned.
Tell them look to me, answers to find."
"But, Father I began, again.
They want me to hear from You
So that I can give the answer
As to what they, now, should do.
I don't want to let them down.
They are counting, now, on me.
That's why I've come, again,
To enter, one more time, their plea."
I paused and, then, I waited.
The room was quiet and still.
Then, he spoke, again,
"They need to seek my will.
It's not you, my child,
They should count on, 'tis me.
Sometimes, they need to do the trusting
And on my word they should feed.
You have done your part
As, in intercession, you do obey
And you've heard from me.
They need to hear just what I say.
The answers that they seek
Are written in my word to open.
Search and they shall find
The answers that I have spoken."
TELL THEM
Prayer of intercessions
Have been offered up for you.
This warrior has been faithful.
The rest is up to you to do.
Tell them, seek me while I can be found.
I hold all things within my hand.
Search and try me.
See what I have planned.
I FOUND,
As warriors we can intercede.
But they must trust Him all the way,
While we, in loving vigil, keep;
They must seek Him every day.
For, if we do all the praying,
Then they have missed a blessing.
They do right in asking and
We are blessed in intercessing.
But, when we have done our part,
Then we leave the rest to Him.
For the answer,
They must seek His heart.
INTERCESSION IS A CALLING
I have noticed that many ask for prayer, who are lost and they don't know how to gain the ear of God. and they depend on us for the answers. But God has laid upon my heart, that they need to find Jesus in His grace for themselves.
As I have seen with my own children, they ask for prayers for other people too, and they don't walk with the Lord. So, they depend on me. I of course pray their need, but I have to tell them always, that they need to look to Jesus for themselves. I tell them very often, God doesn't have any grandchildren.
I never turn down another's request, but in all their need, they need Jesus. |
Thus He Spoke
I was their beginning
Will they be with me at the end.

[44] ~ If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house that I have built for thy name:
[45] ~ Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
[46] ~ If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
[47] ~ Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
[48] ~ And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
[49] ~ Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
[50] ~ And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
[51] ~ For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
[52] ~ That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.
( 1 Kings 8: 44-52 )(KJV) |
