WALKING IN THE FULLNESS OF OUR INHERITANCE

    TRUE INTERCESSION

        ...."With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints"....

           Ephesians 6:18 NASB

There is a distinct difference between Satan having "free reign" in a person's life and when, through intercession, the Holy Spirit is enabled to minister to that person  [through holy vessels] those things that they "need" to be "confronted with" - in order that every hindrance that stands between them and God be removed. When, through holy intercession, Satan is bound and the angels of God are loosed, the Heavenly Father is enabled to put into effect His perfect plan for that individual's life, and while it is true that God, at times, will "permit" Satan to work his folly to a certain degree in their lives, one can see clearly - if they will look closely at any given example - that it is always the "priority" of the Father for His Word to, ultimately, be ministered to those who are being interceded for. As we intercede for the lost and the Evil One is bound, each diabolical attempt upon the life [mentally and/or physically] of the one being interceded for shall only serve to move them one step closer to a "true" knowledge of Jesus Christ. Every believer must have a deep revelation of the fact that it is the Father's will that not one soul should perish and, in "knowing" this, they need to cooperate with Him in obedience to the Holy Spirit - in order that many might be led out of darkness and into His light. Many children of God, because they have refused to live a life set apart unto God, have a fear for the souls of their loved ones while all along God has made the provision in His Word for them to topple the strongholds of Satan in the hearts and minds of men and women through faith [love] and intercessory prayer. As one begins to place the Word [Wisdom] of God first in their lives they will begin to understand the wondrous provision God has made for their families in His covenant with them and, thus, they can begin to turn the tables on Satan and his schemes. Anything that causes fear to rise up within the child of God must be dealt with immediately. For if any fear is "allowed" to operate in one's heart they will remain in a form of bondage to the Evil One, and they will be incapable of standing in the gap for those whom God has called them to intercede for. Love can never proceed forth from a heart that is filled with unbelief and fear. So let us diligently be found replacing the fear-filled lies of Satan that he attempts to influence us with and replace them with the faith-filled promises of God's Word - for then it is certain that we will be a "living" intercession" to all those the Father brings across our path in this most glorious hour and many captives shall be set free.
