Where Are The Intercessors

I want you to really get this in your spirit. God was stunned, stupefied, dumbfounded, and horrified. Not that there wasn't an apostle, or pastor, or teacher, or even an evangelist.

What dumbfounded and horrified God, was that there was no intercessor.

I want to interject this right here. As much as we love and need true apostles and prophets, pastors, teachers, and evangelists, the absence of these is not what stunned and horrified God, it was that there was no intercessor.

I am absolutely convinced that the greatest need of any generation, and any society or people groups, is intercessors.

*The generation, the society, the people groups or the culture that have no intercessors, are the poorest, most vulnerable, most defenseless, and most likely to be deceived and destroyed people on the face of the earth.

*It is my conviction that the highest calling ever conferred upon a human being, is not apostle, prophet, pastor, teacher, evangelist, presbyter, or bishop.

The highest calling and the highest office ratified by heaven is the office and the calling of the intercessor.

I don't care what position you may hold in the church, the highest office you can occupy from heavens perspective, is the office of an intercessor.

When I read the text that we are speaking from today, it's like reading todays news paper. It's like we are that people. And the attitudes and the characteristics that are spoken of here, are running rampant in America today.

When God looked at that self-loving, truth hating, Godless society, what horrified him was that there were no intercessors.

Abrahams time had Abraham.

Moses time had Moses.

Samuels time had Samuel.

Elijah's time had Elijah.

Ezekiels time had Ezekiel

Daniel's time had Daniel.

It doesn't matter what title you put upon them. Prophet etc. Foremost and most importantly of all, they were intercessors.

The very thought that we would be living in a society and a time when there are no intercessors, should send chills down your spine. It should shake you to the core of your being. It horrified God. Why was it such a disturbing thing to God, that when he looked he didn't see an intercessor?

Because God knows that without an intercessor, he is locked out of the affairs of men. God knows that intercessors are the ones who build the bridge between two worlds.

God knows that intercessors are the link between heaven and earth.

God was horrified that there was no intercessor, because he knew that every ministry in the earth, would fall and fail without the intercessor.

*The work of God in the earth is irrevocably tied to human co-operation and participation.

*Before God does anything in the earth somebody has to pray it.

Simeon was an intercessor who prayed for the birth of the messaiah.

Intercessors are the most valued asset in heaven. But on the earth in many cases, they are the least valued and least appreciated.

I appreciate financial blessings, but if you never sowed a dime in to my life, but faithfully interceded for me, I would consider myself rich.
