[omonija]

Let the prayer begin
(Isaiah 59:16 KJV) And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.


God is always searching for people that will stand in the gap for others. In as much as He desires to see His power manifested on earth, He will not break the laws that govern the planet. The planet belongs to man and so man's permission is always necessary before every move of God.

God needs man to co-operate with Him before He can do anything in his life. God's will is that nobody will spend eternity in hell but man must consciously surrender his life to God to be a partaker of the promise of eternal life. God will always protect a man's choice at any cost.

Intercessory prayer is simply bridging the gap between man and God. It makes power available to change lives and situation for the glory of God. It gives God permission to enter the arena of humanity and brings changes that are divine. An intercessor stands in the face of God until the impossible becomes a reality in the lives of people around him.

You have the Holy Spirit, the greatest intercessor within you. Utilize the power of your partnership with Him to make things to happen around you. Follow His promptings, the next time He quickens your heart. This is most effective when you pray in the Spirit. Make things to happen today by making yourself available for intercession in the Spirit.
DAILY SCRIPTURE READING: Isaiah 59:1-21.




MY DAILY CONFESSION
I am a new creation in Christ Jesus. I am the temple of the Holy Spirit. I keep God's temple holy and God is always pleased with me.

The Spirit of Him that raised Jesus Christ from the dead dwells in me. I am quickened from within. My body and soul are full of God's life as a result of the working of the Spirit on my inside.

Greater is He that lives within me than the one that lives in the world. I can do all things through the Spirit of God that strengthens me.

I have an anointing from the Holy One and I know all things. The Spirit of God that lives on my inside teaches me all things about life.

I have been adopted as a Son into the kingdom and I am always led by the Spirit of God. His divine power has given me all things that pertain to life and godliness.

I am never confused in life because the Spirit of God leads and guides me. God has not given the spirit of fear but that of love, sound mind, and power
