The Results of Intercession    

The Lord Jesus Christ as our Intercessor: Ephesians 1:17 That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of Glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. The eyes of your understanding being enlightened that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints. And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to usward who believe according to the working of his mighty power.

From the moment You, Lord, obtained a vessel for Your purpose in that year of 1950 you began Your Holy work of Intercession.

Worldwide, the outlook was devastating in the year 1950. To look for emergence of any form of righteousness was fruitless. That post-war period of time was filled with a frantic scramble to make up for those years of war and thoughts of God were far from man’s mind.

It was true that there were vessels who had seen miracles happen as they entreated the Lord in prayer for His favor in that desperate wartime struggle. These vessels would be visited later as you looked for those who could be usable in the forthcoming battle.

First priority was to get this chosen vessel to seek wisdom. After 21 days of a water-only fast, the vessel could clearly hear Your Word of command asking, “What do You want from me?” I replied, “I am just an ignorant child of limited understanding, I need help!”

The answer came quickly: I Kings 3:11,12 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life: neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thy enemies: But hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment. Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and understanding heart; . . .

 

The Long Struggle For Truth Was Underway

It began in a little neighborhood church when tapes of the results of the awakening in Argentina were played to a gathering of men invited by the pastor. This vessel was included.

Again, the Lord had been busy, showing the great needs spiritually in that little church through His Holy Word. It wasn’t hard to put two and two together.

At the playing of the tapes great waves of sorrow caused this vessel to weep significantly. God was showing to this vessel a need to be met, and that by prayer.

It was proposed, by this vessel, that we, including the pastor, would meet early in the morning, each morning, for prayer for revival. This took place in the early 1960’s.

We started with about 10, including the pastor. Each morning there were less; excuses were made. Some indignantly said, It cuts too much into my time. Even the pastor said quite brazenly, Prayer is not my strong suit, and he quit.

So by week’s end I was the only one left. Then I said to the Lord, Perhaps I also should drop out. Wow! Did I get a quick answer: EMPHATICALLY, NO!

These times of prayer at the altar continued for three months. Faithfully, this vessel drove a great distance to meet with the Lord in prayer. The subjects of prayer varied, but with the insistence we would see a Holy move of God at this neighborhood church.

This was the point of the intercession, I thought. Then one day, a clear, precise answer came! “I have heard your prayer, and I have answered.” The next morning I arrived and proceeded to go to the altar. I was halted by the words of the Lord saying, “I gave you my answer. What are you doing here?”

At that I stopped, turned in my key to the church secretary and went home, rejoicing, knowing my Father never lies. If He had answered, so be it. This was in the very early 1960’s — fifty-0ne years ago.

“The eyes of your understanding being enlightened that ye may know what is the hope of His calling.” A lot of water has gone under the bridge since that time, yet it is known that God’s promises are eternal. That time of the Lord’s intercession was absolutely essential for these days, the Day of the Lord.

It was the very heart of the fulfillment of His word; If ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you. John 15:7 In that, the Lord Jesus Christ is shown to be the total and only object of praise, worship and adoration. In that context, You, Father God, are glorified.

So the prayer at the altar is answered with this understanding, entitled, A Word from the Prophet, the Lord Jesus Christ, dwelling in a vessel.

    “And he shall live, and to him shall be given of the gold of Sheba: Prayer also shall be made for him continually; and daily shall he be praised. Psalm 72:15

   “All actions of righteousness, anything good or right, always begin with prayer, for prayer is communication with the Holy God and brings all thoughts, actions and purposes into subjection to His will. There is nothing good, no matter what interpretation the natural mind gives, except it is according to the will of God. As such, all right actions will glorify and benefit the Holy Son of God. He must be the whole focus of every endeavor, every action, every purpose. The Word of God commands, “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and all these other things shall be added to you.”

   “The first instruction in seeking the Kingdom of God is to pray, specific prayer, not for this or that need or want or trouble, but for the Son of God. Pray that His purposes will be prospered, that His work on earth be made first, that everything He has need of to carry it out will be provided. Why? Not because He needs anything from man, far from, not even prayer. But because the only hope for man, the only answer to his multitude of troubles, is to center his life and existence on what the Son of God is doing. Seek first the Kingdom and everything else will be taken care of, for there is nothing too hard for God. He is the God of all flesh.

   “Therefore, according to this Word from a Holy God, I command all mankind everywhere to lift up hands and voices and to pray for the Son of God. Pray for His prosperity, His good, Him to be blessed in all His tasks. Join the voices in heaven declaring, “Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, honor, glory and blessing.”

   “Yes, this Word from God is a command to all inhabitants of the earth: prayer is to be made for the Lord Jesus Christ and praise rendered to Him.

   “As this prayer is made, each person will be shown by the Lord God what part they have to be assistive and a benefit to the Son’s purpose. This is the only way anyone will have a purpose and reason to be allowed to remain on the earth and is the secret to solving all of their troubles and difficulties.

   “As they “seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness” and put their focus on what will further the Lord Jesus Christ’s purpose, then all the things that they need will be taken care of as God promises.”

 Total truth is the witness of the nine vessels in whom Christ dwells that You, Lord, are alive and here, very present, fulfilling Your Word, Your works, Your purposes on earth! Isaiah 8:18 Behold, I and the children whom the Lord hath given me are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of Hosts which dwelleth in Mount Zion.

The vessels are in the world, but not of it, and are seen quite openly as divine signs and wonders in what has become a very perverse world. They are not hidden under a bushel basket, just as the watermelon gave evidence it was a watermelon vine by what the branches produced.

Philippians 2:15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world.

 Command of the King to All:

The first instruction in seeking the Kingdom of GOD is to PRAY, specific PRAYER that THE SON OF GOD would prosper in HIS work and HIS purposes that HIS work on earth be made FIRST, that everything HE has need of will be provided, THAT the HOUSE of THE LORD would be physically built without delay.

Therefore, according to this WORD from You, Father, I command all mankind everywhere to lift up hands and voices and to pray for the Son of God – PRAY for HIS prosperity, HIS good, for HIM to be blessed in all HIS tasks.

Join the voices in heaven declaring, “WORTHY is the LAMB that was slain to receive POWER, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, HONOR, GLORY AND BLESSING.”

THE GOSPEL, Writing of the Anointed King

 Galatians 1:7 WHICH is not another (GOSPEL): but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the GOSPEL of CHRIST, but though we or an angel from heaven, PREACH any other GOSPEL unto you than that we have preached unto you LET HIM BE ACCURSED as we said before, so say I NOW AGAIN, if any man PREACH any other GOSPEL unto you than that ye have received, LET HIM BE ACURSED.

 The first instruction in seeking the Kingdom of GOD is to PRAY, specific PRAYER that THE SON OF GOD would prosper in HIS work and HIS purposes that HIS work on earth be made FIRST, that everything HE has need of will be provided, THAT the HOUSE of THE LORD would be physically built without delay.

Therefore, according to this WORD from You, Father, I command all mankind everywhere to lift up hands and voices and to pray for the Son of God – PRAY for HIS prosperity, HIS good, for HIM to be blessed in all HIS tasks.

Join the voices in heaven declaring, “WORTHY is the LAMB that was slain to receive POWER, RICHES, WISDOM, STRENGTH, HONOR, GLORY AND BLESSING.”

Matthew 6:33 SEEK ye first the Kingdom of GOD and HIS righteousness and all these things will be added unto you.

Matthew 6:31-34 THEREFORE take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

(FOR after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your HEAVENLY FATHER knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

BUT SEEK ye FIRST the KINGDOM of GOD, and HIS righteousness; and ALL these things shall be added unto you.

TAKE therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the DAY is the evil thereof.

Acts 15:14-17 SIMEON hath declared HOW GOD at the first did visit the Gentiles to take out of them a people for his name.

AND to this AGREE the WORDS of the prophets AS IT IS WRITTEN:

AFTER this I will RETURN, and will BUILD again the TABERNACLE of David, which is fallen down and I will BUILD again the ruins thereof, and I will set it UP.

THAT the residue of men might SEEK after the Lord, AND all THE Gentiles upon whom MY NAME is called, saith the LORD, who doeth ALL these things.

Acts 13:46,47 THEN Paul and Barnabas waxed BOLD , and said, It was necessary that THE WORD OF GOD should first have been spoken to you: but seeing ye put it away from you, and judge yourselves unworthy of everlasting life, LO, we turn to the Gentiles.

FOR so hath THE LORD commanded us, saying, I have set thee to be a LIGHT of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

Matthew 7:7,8,11 ASK, and it shall be given you: SEEK, and ye shall FIND; knock and it shall be opened unto you:

FOR everyone that asketh receiveth: and he that SEEKETH findeth: and to him THAT knocketh it shall be opened.

IF ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, HOW much MORE shall your FATHER which is in HEAVEN give good things to them that ASK HIM?

Our prayer is this: AND HE SHALL LIVE, and to HIM shall be given of the gold of Sheba: PRAYER also shall be made for HIM continually: and DAILY shall HE be PRAISED.

I Thessalonians5:9,10 FOR GOD hath NOT appointed us to WRATH, but to obtain salvation by our LORD JESUS CHRIST.

WHO died for us, that whether we wake or sleep, we should LIVE together with HIM.

Isaiah 11:1-5 AND there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a branch shall grow out of HIS roots, and THE SPIRIT of WISDOM and UNDERSTANDING, THE SPIRIT of COUNSEL and MIGHT, THE SPIRIT of KNOWLEDGE and THE FEAR of THE LORD.

AND shall make him of QUICK UNDERSTANDING in the FEAR of THE LORD: and shall not JUDGE after the sight of HIS eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of HIS ears.

BUT with RIGHTEOUSNESS shall HE judge the poor, and reprove with EQUITY for the meek of the earth; and HE shall SMITE the earth with the ROD of HIS mouth, and with the breath of HIS lips shall HE SLAY the wicked.

AND righteousness shall be the girdle of HIS loins, and FAITHFULNESS the girdle of HIS reins.

Acts 3:20-23 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.

For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.

AND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, THAT EVERY SOUL, WHICH WILL NOT HEAR THAT PROPHET, SHALL BE DESTROYED FROM AMONG THE PEOPLE.
