8.Thou
shalt commit thyself to intercede for a set period of time.
9.

Jesus,
our Christ, our Lord is the great intercessor. Were it not for His
death, and the washing of our sins in His blood, all of us would
remain eternally condemned to the fires of Hell. This is TRUTH. God
gave us the ability to decide, to choose salvation and live, or to
believe the lies of Satan and be forever lost and in darkness.
There
are those who live and breathe who have forever lost the ability to
decide. Trapped in the ever shrinking world of their failing minds,
these living souls are grandfathers, grandmothers, brothers, sisters,
uncles, aunts, and in some instances, children. Brain injury,
disease, trauma, violence, infection are among the causative agents
that produce entrapment in a closed TERMINAL world of deep despair
and loss.
Alzheimer's,
stroke, organic brain wasting disease are a few names many of us have
heard about and some have had first hand introductions through a
loved one or friend.
(Heb
7:25) Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near
to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for
them.
Christ
Jesus calls whom He wills to follow His lead in interceding for those
who cannot escape the confinement of their own inability to decide.
Intercession through prayer, powerful prayer. Praying for and on
behalf of those who cannot pray for themselves.
In
our system of laws, specifically dealing with Emergency Medical
Intervention, we have three accepted levels of consent regarding
intervention. (1) EXPRESSED CONSENT; the person is gravely
injured, recognizes such, and readily agrees to ask for and receive
intervention to stop or mitigate the emergency situation. (2)
INFORMED CONSENT; My child is badly injured and I am requesting and
giving permission for intervention. (3) IMPLIED CONSENT; The
person who is in extremus cannot call for help. Cannot evaluate their
grave situation. Is helpless and may soon perish and breathe their
last. It is implied that this person, if they were able to do so,
would readily agree to intervention in order to save their life.
It
is through intercessive prayer and the call of the Holy Spirit that
the tenants of implied consent come to bear in a spiritual emergency
intervention, (on behalf of that precious soul) who cannot cry for
help themselves.
In
many cases, the calling for intercession through prayer may be the
only avenue left opened, by God, for the dying to be saved unto the
Lord. Perhaps you have been called to be an Intercession Prayer
Warrior?
(Psa
25:4, 5) Make me know Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. Lead
me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation;
For You I wait all the day, Amen.
