A NEW FIGHT 06/09/2010
A New Fight The church is in need of intercessors. Pastors are in need of intercessors. Our families, our nation and the lost are in need of intercessors. True revival comes through prayer. Reinhard Bonnke is a german evangelist, he has 500 full time intercessors with many full time intercessor coordinators. Pastor Cho in South Korea attributes his success in having the largest church in the world to prayer and intercession. Exodus 17:9-12 Ministers of the gospel need constant prayer in conducting the affairs of the church. Prayer is like strengthening the arms of your pastor and your leaders a like. Ministry will not be without battle waging war against it. And without intercessors these ministries will fail. These forces are very strong for one or a few to fight. It needs an army of intercessors to be defeated. A lot of our battles in church, in our homes, finances, etc are being lost because of our lack of prayer. Today we live in a different battle. It isn’t the same. We need intercessors! Judges 7:5-6 Gideon was known as Jerubaal which means “devil fighter”. God did not need the whole army He just needed a few who would do it His way. Numbers are not important to God, our hearts for prayer and seeking Him is what He sees. To have victory in today’s battle we need to be a devil fighter. How? By resisting him first then we have to learn to press through the oppression in our life. When you fight and stand against him it may get worse. And there will be those who will advise for you not to do those things. Don’t make noise in the kingdom of darkness, But God! We have to, we can’t let fear grip our hearts as so to back down. But remember, it may hurt you to go forward. But in the end you will be hurting the kingdom of darkness. Revelation 6:10 How long oh Lord? How long will this trial last? How long will You let me suffer? How long must I wait? We have all been there. “how long” is mentioned many times in the bible. Zechariah 1:12 Even the angles asked how long Lord? See how long it has been for Jerusalem. What if the power of intercession might have changed the length of their suffering. Oh today how we so know how to pray and we don’t! Hoe long will you wait and not cry unto the Lord? Hebrews 10:36-39 How long is answered by as long as our Lord allows. All we can do is pray and wait. James 1:2-4 There is a purpose for every test that we will go through. Church today’s battle is changing. The Lord is calling all of His intercessors to pray for His kingdom, His work, and His people. Most of the time we give up and resolve to seeking a relief instead of a victory. This hinders the work of God in our lives. But it is hard to suffer, though it is necessary sometimes. We need to have patience and perseverance. Know this, that God is for you, He is with you, and you belong to Him. Even of you fall He will catch you. (Is. 54:11-17) Psalm 37:23-24 We will go through things. The power of intercession can change and protect and strengthen the entire body of Christ. Galatians 6:9 Do not grow weary in these troubled times. Learn to pray and seek Him while He may be found. And know that your prayers are like literally holding up the arms of Moses to defeat the enemies of God. CommentsFri, 11 Mar 2011 23:02:23 Good article,thank you for giving me such a good article...
