It’s not about coming
to church to pray
Intercession isn’t meeting with your prayer group either.
What exactly is an intercessor? You
know you are a true intercessor when righteousness is birthed in you to the point
that you can no longer operate in the flesh. You become a covenant partner in
the work of Christ. You are an intercessor when the errands of your day are
interrupted by the Lord to pray for someone. At that divinely appointed moment
you must have the power of God already in you; you are the temple of prayer,
and dropping everything to run to the church isn’t an option. When His
anointing pours over you as His intercessor you must be ready to pray for that
person then and there! As His intercessor you are on duty 24/7, it’s not a job
of convenience where you punch in at 9 and out at 5. It’s not even a minimum
wage position. Sorry, no check on payday for you.
Just watch when the church announces a special choir program
or that a popular guest speaker is coming; its standing room only! But,
announce “there will be a prayer meeting at the church Thursday night” and see
who comes. There will only be a few of the same righteous warriors who show up.
The alarm call for prayer is only heard by true intercessors, those whose
righteousness quickens them to answer the call and pickup the burden of Christ
in prayer.
Jesus Christ pulls you into intercession if you are one of
His righteous warriors. You will be called to pray for your family, your
church, your community, and if you are one of His intercessors you will drop
everything and drop to your knees! Many
are called – few are chosen.
