READ: PSALM
149:1-9
Not long
ago, we considered the basics of intercession. Let us recapitulate a bit.
Intercession is a ministry. Therefore, we must learn the rules if we want to
become effective intercessors. You cannot become a master unless you practise
daily until you quit the amateur ranks to the level of maturity. Binding and
loosening is an integral aspect of the ministry of intercession. Your relatives
and friends need your prayer, intercede from them! Unless you learn to
intercede for your relatives and friends, and break down the stronghold, they
will not be released from the shackles of the enemy. We have enough power to
bind the demon, to loosen the beloved one and to pull down the stronghold of
the enemy for our loved ones to escape. How do you enter into the stronghold of
the enemy, deal the enemy damaging blows, loosen your beloved one and pull down
the stronghold of the enemy without hurting yourself in the process? Psalm
149:5-9 gives an answer: “Let the saints be joyful in glory; let them
sing aloud on their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a
two-edged sword in their hand, to execute vengeance on the nations, and
punishments on the peoples; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles
with fetters of iron; to execute on them the written judgment-This honor have
all His saints. Praise the LORD! ” As you carry out the ministry of
intercession, you must use the weapon of praise. Praise is your shield of
protection. Continue to praise God and you will experience safety and victory
all the way.
MEMORIZE:
2 CORINTHIANS 10:4 –For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in
God for pulling down strongholds.
