Intercession

Interceding - June 9, 2007

People who don't know me, don't realize that I've been adamant about the things of God for a long, long time. When my grandmother died and I began to go through her books left to me, I found several bibles with lots of things underlined... telling me that my grandparents were just as passionate about God as I am. There is a scripture that tells you to leave an inheritance to your children's children. I've told my grandchildren.. the inheritance I leave you is the amazingly close walk with God.. I believe my grandmother left this to me. I can only hope that up in Heaven, somehow she knows and dances in delight as she sees.

I woke up this morning around 5 - finally gave in and got up about 5:30 -- thinking all that time.. Early in the morning will I rise up and greet Thee... sleep... Early... Finally the Rise up and greet Thee won.. and I found myself praying for Shiela.. interceding for her.. almost like a surprise. As I prayed for her, and spoke things around her.. it occurred to me.. it was a bit of the interceding for more than within my four walls. smile.. stepping into the gap. Read a little of the blood and the glory.. about terrors.. and I thought.. walking into the enemy's territory means you'd better know Who is with you and be sure you walk His way... That first scripture is one I've loved, but never knew exactly what it meant.. awesome.. and how important it is that we present that face to the enemy's forces... no fear, because... and that Blood line that surrounds us that can't be crossed... What is that song.. about going into enemy territory and taking back what's ours.. I'd say OURS means those others who for whatever reason haven't presented that countenance and the enemy has taken advantage

Early in the morning, will I rise up and greet Thee -
Thank you for this day. I will rejoice and be glad in it. Thank you for your Word. Thank you for the shed blood of the Lamb. Thank you for your awesome sacrifice. That you for bearing our diseases. Thank you that you teach us how to receive Your healing. Thank you that we are the healed of the Lord, We are the saved of God.. we are the delivered .... Thank you that line upon line, we can build a mighty force around us, dismissing the enemy. Thank you that you give us the tools to present a barrier that turns away the enemy in fear. We may be tempted to think and act on thoughts of fear, but thanks be to You.. those words don't have to come out of our mouth.

I am remembering that I am covered in the shed blood of the lamb.. I am remembering that I don't have to fear. I am remembering that He never leaves me. I am remembering that the enemy is defeated by the blood of the Lamb and the testimony of my mouth. I can come boldly into any place He leads me... without fear. I am the protected of the Lord. The most High God surrounds me with His protection and deliverance from all terrors. Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death.. I do not have to fear any evil, any death in any territory that the enemy thinks is his.. I can step boldly in the face of terrorism, because of what He has done for us, me, I do not have to have any fear. I can go anywhere He leads me... even into territory where the redeemed of the Lord are being held captive.

I thought of that soft yellowy blanket for Shiela... maybe.. and printed out the psalm.. didn't know what to do with it, and ended up wrapping it around the skein of yarn and tying it on with a piece of yarn. As I thought about Shiela, it was like speaking to her.. speaking His word..walking around her,. encircling her and laying stitch upon stitch of His Word like crocheting.. building up that wall around her, keeping the enemy out. Do you know that sometimes when I think like this, the enemy tells me.. what, are you crazy??? LOL I tell him to BUG OFF !! he's just ticked because we're going to take back that territory.... and ticked because some are finally getting how powerful the truth is... sets the captives free... and it doesn't matter my opinion of where the person stands with God.. strong, weak, knowing, or not... His Word is still powerful and I can still go in there and intercede... He alone knows exactly what they need. .... LOL ~~~ I think the enemy just said.. maybe what you need is a tranquilizer....lol... Its like thinking of stomping in there, grabbing that person or whatever and yanking them away from the grip of the enemies tricks. more laughing... yep -- still what most people would call a fanatic!

Philippians 1:28
And in nothing terrified by your adversaries; which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. A token is a sign.. we send a sign to the enemies... Because we are not terrified by adversaries, this sends them a sign.. an evident token"" "Perdition means doom" A sign to the enemy of perdition.. its a sign to them that they are doomed! The same is a sign to us of salvation." "What kind of sign do we sent to the enemy?IIsn't that good? No wonder its important what we say. Even the smallest things...not giving the light of day to thoughts that don't line up with His word... Put a guard on my mouth, Lord !!! Create in me a clean heart...

Psalm 27:11
Teach me Thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies. "Original Hebrew of "mine enemies" translates as those which observe me." What kind of sign do we show to 'those which observe us?" the enemy

Psalm 91 is a wonderful scripture to read frequently... what promises are in there!!! Psa 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Psa 91:2 I will say of the LORD, [He is] my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Psa 91:3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence. Psa 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth [shall be thy] shield and buckler. Psa 91:5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; [nor] for the arrow [that] flieth by day; Psa 91:6 [Nor] for the pestilence [that] walketh in darkness; [nor] for the destruction [that] wasteth at noonday. Psa 91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; [but] it shall not come nigh thee. Psa 91:8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked. Psa 91:9 Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High, thy habitation; Psa 91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. Psa 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psa 91:12 They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. Psa 91:13 Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Psa 91:14 Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. Psa 91:15 He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I [will be] with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. Psa 91:16 With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Revelation 12:11 .. We overcome by the blood of the lamb and the word of our testimony.

I AM the healed of the Lord. I am the protected of the Lord. ...You are under this protection. .
