We are walking in today:  Drop To Your Knees And Intercede!

Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.  What is Intercessory Prayer?  It is the act of praying on behalf of others.  All of us are intercessors, because Jesus is our intercessor.  Jesus closed the gap between us and God when He died on the cross.  Because of Jesus mediation, we can now intercede in prayer on behalf of other Christians, or for the lost, asking God to grant their requests according to His will.  “For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5).  “Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus who died, more than that, who was raised to life, is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us” (Romans 8:34).  God calls all Christians to be intercessors.  It is God’s desire that every believer be active in intercessory prayer.  What a wonderful and exalted privilege we have in being able to come boldly before the throne of Almighty God with our prayers and requests.  Intercessory Prayer is so humbling.  You begin to pray and intercede for others.  It is not a selfish prayer.  The more we pray for others, the more we see the hand of God move in our lives.  The word says it is better to give than receive.  Jesus gave Himself for us.  We should strive to be more Christ like.  We should do as our Father has taught us.  Stand in the gap for someone today.  Start practicing praying for others.  Get ready to experience a closer walk with God as never before in your life.  This is a way of praying that everyone can relate to.  There has been a time that I could not pray for myself.  God uses us to intercede just like His Son.  Pray for your children, family, co-workers, church members, etc.

1 Samuel 25:14-36 14 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent messengers out of the wilderness to salute our master; and he railed on them. 15 But the men were very good unto us, and we were not hurt, neither missed we any thing, as long as we were conversant with them, when we were in the fields: 16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day, all the while we were with them keeping the sheep. 17 Now therefore know and consider what thou wilt do; for evil is determined against our master, and against all his household: for he is such a son of Belial, that a man cannot speak to him. 18 Then Abigail made haste, and took two hundred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five sheep ready dressed, and five measures of parched corn, and an hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and laid them on asses. 19 And she said unto her servants, Go on before me; behold, I come after you. But she told not her husband Nabal. 20 And it was so, as she rode on the ass, that she came down by the covert on the hill, and, behold, David and his men came down against her; and she met them. 21 Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that pertained unto him: and he hath requited me evil for good. 22 So and more also do God unto the enemies of David, if I leave of all that pertain to him by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. 23 And when Abigail saw David, she hasted, and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on her face, and bowed herself to the ground, 24 And fell at his feet, and said, Upon me, my lord, upon me let this iniquity be: and let thine handmaid, I pray thee, speak in thine audience, and hear the words of thine handmaid. 25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, regard this man of Belial, even Nabal: for as his name is, so is he; Nabal is his name, and folly is with him: but I thine handmaid saw not the young men of my lord, whom thou didst send. 26 Now therefore, my lord, as the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the Lord hath withholden thee from coming to shed blood, and from avenging thyself with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, and they that seek evil to my lord, be as Nabal. 27 And now this blessing which thine handmaid hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto the young men that follow my lord. 28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the Lord will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the Lord, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days. 29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the Lord thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling. 30 And it shall come to pass, when the Lord shall have done to my lord according to all the good that he hath spoken concerning thee, and shall have appointed thee ruler over Israel; 31 That this shall be no grief unto thee, nor offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath avenged himself: but when the Lord shall have dealt well with my lord, then remember thine handmaid. 32 And David said to Abigail, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, which sent thee this day to meet me: 33 And blessed be thy advice, and blessed be thou, which hast kept me this day from coming to shed blood, and from avenging myself with mine own hand. 34 For in very deed, as the Lord God of Israel liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, except thou hadst hasted and come to meet me, surely there had not been left unto Nabal by the morning light any that pisseth against the wall. 35 So David received of her hand that which she had brought him, and said unto her, Go up in peace to thine house; see, I have hearkened to thy voice, and have accepted thy person. 36 And Abigail came to Nabal; and, behold, he held a feast in his house, like the feast of a king; and Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunken: wherefore she told him nothing, less or more, until the morning light.
We have to drop to our knees and intercede--pray for marriages, children, America and the churches to turn back to God!  We have to intercede immediately not looking for something to talk about but to cast our cares on the Lord!  We are not to take our own vengence, we have to be in prayer--vengeance is mine says the Lord!  2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.  Fiveamprayer, we must intercede for the land--the people, we are to be the voice crying out to the Lord God Almighty!  We don't even have to defend ourselves from what it is that others may have to say about us!  Romans 8:31 What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?  We have to be in a position and place of love.  1 Corinthians 13:13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.  To here this again click here.

We seal this prayer in the precious blood of Jesus of Nazareth, the only Begotten of the Heavenly Father and by the Holy Spirit:  Lord we stand in intercession!  Let us keep washing our hearts and standing in love!
