#The Spirit of intercession

[wiirocku]

Romans 8:26 (NKJV) - Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

The Spirit Helps Us in Our Weakness

[lightfromthelighthouse]

Good Morning!☀

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. Romans 8:26

There are times in life when words fail us. Times when words seem inadequate to express what we are feeling and we are hard pressed to know how to pray.

Fortunately God has made provision for those times and the fact that we often do not pray as we should. The Holy Spirit prays for us as well, according to the will of God, making up for our errant prayers and inadequate words. Since the Spirit knows what is in our heart, he can address the cry of our heart when our head is unsure of what to say.

Because of the work of the Holy Spirit we can rest assured God hears our prayer even we have not found the words to pray it. We can come to him praying the best we know how knowing that the Holy Spirit will pray for us aright if we are praying amiss!

Stood In The Gap

“…Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw? Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.” Luke 22:52-53NIV

There are times that belong to satan. We can pray, trusting faith scriptures, quote God’s Word until we are blue in the face… that is the hour of satan. One such time was when they crucified our Lord Jesus, Yeshua Hamashiach. Another time is coming— the final hour of satan, the time of antichrist, and his tribulation.

Until that time we must be ‘the ones who restrains’… “For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way” 2Thessalonians 2:7ESV. I’m quite aware many preachers teach Holy Spirit is the one who restrains. My question to them has always been and continues to be, where is the scripture which predicts Holy Spirit is leaving? Each preacher has then pointed back to this scripture. Problem with their explanation returns to the actual language translations— a ‘masculine-feminine’ or ‘human gender nonspecific,’ male or female. Nothing like Holy Spirit Who is Spirit and part of the triune Godhead.

During the time of Nazi Germany, Hitler was considered to be the antichrist. The church thought we were at the end of the age, thus they wouldn’t pray away the events. Except for a few intercessors such as Bonhoeffer, or Reese Howell, a man from Wales UK, who led a group of intercessors, who literally stood between Hitler’s goals and the world. Yes, there were other nameless intercessors who stood in the gap… “I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before Me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it…” Ezekiel 22:30NIV. God will always look for His person who will pray and intercede on behalf of their nation.

Today, we have such people interceding for our land. Cindy Jacobs and Dutch Sheets being two leaders in this movement. Assuredly, there are thousands more praying as well. I know a little woman from South Africa, whom God has frequently provided the funds to come to the USA to pray. Jesse has been to every border crossing in this nation, both borders, anointing it with oil, while bathing it in prayer. She also goes bi-annually to Israel instructed to walk the streets and pray there.

Has anyone beside me ever wondered what the following scripture means? “I tell you the truth, anyone who believes in Me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father” John 14:12NLT. What are the greater works than what Jesus could people do?

As I read our text, Holy Spirit dropped into my spirit— ‘Jesus couldn’t prevent the hour belonging to satan. We can. Reese Howell, Bonhoeffer and the other intercessors prevented Hitler from taking over the world, as the antichrist.

The cabal, elites, and globalists all believe this is their hour to rule our world. They’ve been busy putting their one world government into place, painstakingly so, over the last seventy plus years. News flash: God has His elect praying, interceding, repenting for this world because it’s not satan’s hour yet. Will you join the intercessors in praying away the darkness’s hour? It’s your choice. You choose.

LET’S PRAY: LORD God we pray for Your kingdom alone to come, and Your will only to be done in our nations and our world. You alone God love us and are trustworthy. Help us to trust in You alone, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

The Case of the Angered House Spirit

Over the course of the past three weeks (since moving to my new abode), I've been having several issues which I've traced back to an angered spirit, here being a Hob. In this case, the angered hob is curdling freshly bought cream, tangling my cat's hair into mats overnight, spoiling food such as bread left on the counter, and making small things go missing. So how does one approach this?

The first thing I attempted was leaving offerings of locally sourced mead and freshly baked bread. I left the items on a makeshift altar, and fell asleep; when I woke the next morning, the bread had turned moldy and the mead had evaporated. The hob was still angry.

Next, I did a deep clean of the room- I had admittedly let the cleanliness of my room go a bit, and it's a very small space. I picked up any clothes laying on the ground, did laundry, and cleared a space for a proper altar/place for offerings. I lit candles, opened the window, and aired out the room in the hopes that taking better care of the place would leave me on better terms with the hob. This, however, had no effect- I felt better, but the milk was still spoiling and my cat's hair was still tangling into painful mats.

Finally, I decided to scry in the mirror that came with the room, with help from a locally made beeswax candle and a mugwort and ghost pipe tincure. I can't speak to exactly what I saw, but essentially I determined that I needed to communicate with and dedicate myself to Good Folk that call the local hill their abode. With some trepidation, I did just that; a contract that connects me to Them for the following three years, while I'm here. I also determined that I had been offering the hob the wrong things; it had connections to brass, motherwort, linden, and hawthorn- I proceeded to make a tea with one part each motherwort, mugwort, linden, hawthorn berries, rose hips, and marshmallow root and now offer a fresh cup of tea each morning.

BRINGING FORTH IN THE GIVEN HOUR

 Travail connotes that we are at a narrow transition. The transitional place is a place of "crossing over." Travail means that we are in a "distressed" moment.

Travail is a specific type of prayer that births (Isaiah 66:7-9), as well as wars (Isaiah 42:12-14). When a person enters a time period or season of travail (birthing and/or warring), they will experience it as a heaviness, a weight, a BURDEN, a deep penetrating concern, or an uneasiness over a situation or condition that they cannot shake. Sometimes, travail extends to weeks or months.

Travail is defined as BIRTHING, delivering; to be disgusted, faint, grieved or weary, distressed, troubled. To travail is to be troubled, sorrowful, in agony, intense pain or distress. Often time, a believer will initially interpret travail emotionally and become introspective, suspecting something is wrong with them. However, it is not an emotion, it is the BURDEN of the Lord, and the voice of the Lord coming to a person as a burden to draw them into partnering with Him to birth and/or to war.

TRAVAIL IS RELEASED THROUGH PRAYER

The person will feel weighed down by a situation until it is released through sustained prayer. It is during travail that people often experience a "Romans 8:22-26 time, "For we know that the whole creation groans and labors with birth pangs together until now." The Holy Spirit within the person knows how to pray under this type of BURDEN. As the person begins to pray, the Holy Spirit takes over and begins to TRAVAIL within and through them with groanings that cannot be expressed in English words.

Isaiah 42:13 says that God Himself, "will go forth as a Mighty Man, He will cry, 'yes,' He will shout aloud, He will do mightily against His enemies." Verse 14 continues, "Thus says the Lord, 'I have for a long time held My peace, I have restrained Myself, now I will cry out like a woman in travail...'"

There is a tremendous power in travailing prayer because it births the will of God into the earth. This type of prayer always outwits the devil because he is so strongly opposed by the new thing God is producing as a result of travail. We, therefore, need to have an understanding of what God is wanting to BIRTH through us. We, like Hannah, need to be in-tune with what God is ready to bring forth in that given hour. That can only be done through intimacy with God and through a willingness to allow Him to use us in TRAVAIL.

Many times, we have much that God has put in our spirits, but we don't have the strength to bring it to BIRTH. Isaiah 60:1 says, "Arise, shine for your light has come and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you." In the Amplified Version, it tells you to arise from the depression and oppression that has held you down, and arise to new life. This is the time to call upon the Lord to begin to break those things that have held down your spirit, for this is the time for the Spirit of God to begin to arise within us.

ALLOWING GOD'S GLORY TO ARISE THROUGH US

The word "arise" means to stand firm; to come from a lying down position to a stand. When we begin to arise and allow God's glory to arise through us, we will take our stand against the powers and principalities that have resisted us. As we allow the Spirit of the Lord to arise within us, we will find that He gives us the expectation of new life and the strength to bring that life to BIRTH.

Once this process begins and we identify what burden God wants us to pray over, we begin to agonize and feel the urgency of seeing the BURDEN birthed. The BURDEN becomes our own "baby" as God's heart for seeing that thing brought forth, begins to press down on our spirits. With it comes oppression, but it's not the oppression of the devil.

If your assignment, for instance, is a travail to break an oppression over certain people on God's heart, you can actually begin to feel the oppression they are under. That is the time to TRAVAIL until the oppression breaks--until, as in natural childbirth, the Heavenly opening is large enough, so that God's will can come forth on the earth.

September 17, 2023 Verse Of The Day

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

God brings you to places, among people, and into certain conditions to accomplish a definite purpose through the intercession of the Spirit in you. Your part in intercessory prayer is not to agonize over how to intercede, but to use the everyday circumstances and people God puts around you by His providence to bring them before His throne, and to allow the Spirit in you the opportunity to intercede for them. In this way God is going to touch the whole world with His saints.

Confessions of an intercessor

“I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, always in every prayer of mine making request for you all with joy, for your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ; just as it is right for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart, inasmuch…
