58. Intercession

 This was something I wrote after a prayer experience in my living room On May 2, 2020:

2 Timothy 2: 20-21 ”In a large house there are articles not only of gold and silver, but also of wood and clay; some are for special purposes and some for common use. Those who cleanse themselves from the latter will be instruments for special purposes, made holy, useful to the Master and prepared to do any good work.”

“I began to pray and I found my hands in fists held up in front of me with my wrists touching each other. As I was praying, I felt as if my hands and wrists were instantly bound together (As you see in the picture) I could not physically separate them nor could I put them down or move them. BONDAGE was the word I heard and I began praying for those in bondage. But more than that, I prayed SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PEOPLE IN OFFICE WHO FEEL AS IF THEIR HANDS ARE TIED. Declaring ‘yes they can!’ and the scripture Acts 18:9-10 came to mind: “Do not be afraid; keep on speaking, do not be silent. For I am with you, and no one is going to attack and harm you, because I have many people in this city.” A woman specifically with dark hair came to my mind but I could not tell who she was. I was then led to pray over her; speaking courage into her in Jesus name. She needs to know that it is NOT hopeless and the church needs to know that we are NOT being called into politics. We are being called into position for the spiritual battle. We do not fight against flesh and blood but against the forces of evil. Again, we are NOT being called into politics. Show us how to love louder, Lord, for your army is many!

My hands were released as I began to praise Him. “

Update: I believe the Lord has been placing HIS people where HE wants them...People who are instruments and have been cleansed and made holy to be used for special purposes and prepared for HIS good works. Since that day, I continued to pray for those within office who still fight for righteousness. Many in this world want us to believe that there are none left. Many in this world want to provide a new definition of what righteousness should look like. But when you fight for the Lord, there is no compromising HIS definition of the word and I assure you there is no such thing as a losing battle! It bothered me that I didn’t know who the woman was so nearly every time I would see a woman with darker hair I would ask the Lord if she was the one from that day of prayer but I received no confirmation. During the last week of October as I was doing the dishes, it instantly hit me. I knew who this dark haired woman was and as I looked up a picture of the newly appointed Supreme Court justice, Amy Barrett, there was no doubt in my heart that it was her.

I don’t know why the Lord waited until after she was confirmed to reveal to me who she was. But I share this now because I believe that we are heading into a future of an even more intense spiritual battle over MANY if not ALL things.

Brothers and sisters in Christ, please reread what I wrote, and allow the Lord to lead you into prayer. We are ALL called to play a very important roll in the body of Christ and the way we intercede is no exception.
