Intercessory Prayer

Judge Of All The Earth

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

And the men turned their faces from thence, and went toward Sodom: but Abraham stood yet before the LORD.  And Abraham drew near, and said, “Wilt Thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?  Peradventure there be fifty righteous within the city: wilt Thou also destroy and not spare the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?  That be far from Thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from Thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?”  And the LORD said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.”
Genesis 18:22-26

Of course, the Judge of all the earth will do right. He can do no wrong. He knows how to deliver the righteous from the judgment of the unrighteous.

All who come to God through the cross of Jesus Christ, shall be cleansed, forgiven, and given the righteousness of Christ.

Praying For One Another

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man; that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; and to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Ephesians 3:14-19

Before the Grace, and Glory of GOD

/ Tim A. / Leave a comment

Before the Grace and Glory of GOD
Exodus 33:12-23

Moses had come down from the Mount and found the people in rebellious revelry against God and His commandmdments. He had plead for mercy, and received it for them. Now Moses pleads for grace for God’s leadership through the wilderness, and into the land which flows with milk and honey; and God promises “My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.” (v. 14).

1. Pleading for GOD’S Presence to Go With Them (vv. 12-13).

2. GOD Responds with a Promise, and Moses’ Commitment… (vv. 14-17).
A. …The commitment was to stay put rather than leave present location.

3. Pleading for the Sight of GOD’S Glory (vv. 18-23).
A. Without the back of a holy GOD Moses would perish.

Praying and a Safe Church

/ Tim A.

The following is a quote from E. M. Bounds; from a chapter titled “Praying Men and Personal Purity”;

“Praying men keep the church safe from the materialism that is affecting all its plans and policies, and that is hardening its lifeblood.  By this I mean that the secret and poisonous insinuation circulates, that he church is not so dependent on purely spiritual forces as it used to be–that changed times and changed conditions have brought it out of its spiritual straits and dependencies and put it where other forces can bear it to its climax.”

Men, Pastors, Evangelists, Preachers we ought always to pray, and not faint (Luke 18:1).

Men and Wilberforce

/ Tim A.

The following is a quote from E. M. Bounds on Prayer;

“Men of Wilberforce’s character are needed today –praying men, who know how to give themselves to the greatest task demanding their time and their attention, men who can give their whole heart to the holy task of intercession, men who can pray through.”

Lord, may I be one of those men.
