In intercession you bring the person, or<br \/>the circumstance that impinges on you before God until you are moved<br \/>by His attitude towards that person or circumstance. Intercession<br \/>means filling up &#8220;that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ,&#8221;<br \/>and that is why there are so few intercessors. Intercession is put on<br \/>the line of &#8211; &#8220;Put yourself in his place.&#8221; Never! Try to put yourself<br \/>in God&#8217;s place. <\/p>\n<p>As a worker, be careful to keep pace with the communications of<br \/>reality from God or you will be crushed. If you know too much, more<br \/>than God has engineered for you to know, you cannot pray, the<br \/>condition of the people is so crushing that you cannot get through to<br \/>reality.  <\/p>\n<p>Our work lies in coming into definite contact with God about<br \/>everything, and we shirk it by becoming active workers. We do the<br \/>things that can be tabulated but we will not intercede. Intercession<br \/>is the one thing that has no snares, because it keeps our<br \/>relationship with God completely open.  <\/p>\n<p>The thing to watch in intercession is that no soul is patched up, a<br \/>soul must get through into contact with the life of God. Think of the<br \/>number of souls God has brought about our path and we have dropped<br \/>them! When we pray on the ground of Redemption, God creates something<br \/>He can create in no other way than through intercessory prayer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Men ought always to pray, and not to faint &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &#8212; Luke 18:1 You cannot intercede if you do not believe in the reality of theRedemption; you will turn intercession into futile sympathy withhuman beings which will only increase their submissive content tobeing out of touch with God.
