When He spoke He needed no megaphone to be heard. He walked with those He knew, preached on the hillside and prayed in the night for the city He longed to nurture with the Father's love.
A man of intercession, we find He had a clear vision of what to pray for those God the Father loved so much.
Luke 13:34-35......34 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her! How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, but you were not willing! 35 See! Your house is left to you desolate; and assuredly, I say to you, you shall not see Me until the time comes when you say, 'Blessed is He who comes in the name of the LORD!' " NKJV
Yes, He had wanted to gather the children together. He desired what the Father desired.
Psalm 81:13-16
13 "Oh, that My people would listen to Me,
That Israel would walk in My ways!
14 I would soon subdue their enemies,
And turn My hand against their adversaries.
15 The haters of the LORD would pretend submission to Him,
But their fate would endure forever.
16 He would have fed them also with the finest of wheat;
And with honey from the rock I would have satisfied you." NKJV
Jesus came to bring love and light from the Father. God the Father desired His people to listen to Him. He desired Israel to walk in His WAYS! He so wanted to subdue all the enemies that was prevailing against them. And God would see them fed with the finest of wheat and with the honey from the rock God would satisfy indeed!
Yes, Jesus came and did that. Jesus endured for the joy that was set before Him. That joy came from the Father of His love. When He arose from the dead, He was seen by many. Was not held in a deep secret, but A REVEALED Jesus had risen from the dead.
He came through and in the Crowning MOMENT showed the earth and all its inhabitants that God was Alive! He came to reveal the Battle had been won. The cry had been heard, "it is finished!" And finished it was!
All chaos broke out after He was risen in Heaven. The disciples now Apostles were being changed from glory to glory. The talk was probably non-stop. But on Pentecost, the Holy Spirit came in power, He revealed the wind of change.
Prayer was the word Jesus gave. Go back to Jerusalem and tarry!
Prayer was the word Jesus gave. Go back to Jerusalem and tarry!
Do you want change?
Is it time to speak as Jesus spoke? Is it time for a Battle Cry or just that wimpy whine?
As the intercessor for your family, for your community and for your church or body of believer's, is it time to shout out in prayer?
My intercession times are not marked with sighs or too much silence. I am not protesting God's goodness, but I am protesting the enemies and their rights. They have none in my life or in yours.
I do not need a megaphone. God hears my cries, and He hears yours as well. I may not have every hair in place on my head or even the clothes on that looks like a militant ready for battle, but I do have on the full armor of God. I am in tune with His heart and when I hear that battle sound of the drums.........playing........I am knowing my God is for me and He is on His way with what I require.

Prophetic, most likely.
Significant always. For intercessory prayer is reaching God's heart for those around us. It is the instrument of sound from our hearts that states loudly..........." boots are on the ground and we are taking territory for the kingdom of God".
Cursing, never.
Complaints, no. I'd rather not whine when I know His Blood covered and brought change for a human race.
God is brilliant. He needs no introduction. He made His life known when He placed the stars in the sky. Keeping our focus on Him, helps us capture His thoughts for the right plan, for the people to pray for, for the family member who is lost in drugs, for the one wanting to control you in the work place, or even in some form of rejection, Jesus knows. God always brings us to the that place which is knowing who we are in Him and how valued we are.
Let Him remind you of the Love He sent for you. Let Him soothe your anxious brow that everything is going to be alright.
Let Him gather you as a mother hen and her chicks, and let Him speak mysteries that will light the fire in your heart to pray............to give the sound of the beating drums from that which comes from Heaven through you to bring change. Touch Heaven today and see your earth changed for the good.
That is why He came!
