The Lord asked me to share this today, and I am obeying.
All Christians are called to intercede for our loved ones.
Maybe you’ve been praying for a spouse to come to Jesus… or maybe you’ve been pushing them or another loved one to give up an addiction, or come to church with you.
Here’s what the Lord said, and I am sharing it as He said it:
——
You don’t have to push or pull them away from the enemy,
you don’t have to fight the temptation or addiction…
just woo them closer and closer
to Me
and My gravity – my love- will suck them in.
Better yet, ask Me to move closer to them,
ask Me to come to them.
You’ll have more luck begging God to move closer to them than you will begging them to move closer to God.
Nobody can resist Him
when they REALLY see Him!
The Bible says EVERY KNEE shall bow!
EVERY TONGUE will confess!
Don’t you see?
On that day (at the end of days)
it will be too late.
But right now He is telling us everyone has the potential inside them.
Nobody is too far.
But you cannot put yourself against them and effectively win them .
You have to see this is the enemy on them.
You have to come on their side, as in intercede…
Many Christians don’t even know what it means to intercede.
It means to see the hurts
and see the needs-
see the gaps –
and stand in them.
This is 🅽🅾🆃 an 🅸🅽🆃🅴🆁🆅🅴🅽🆃🅸🅾🅽
where you get all their loved ones in a room
and corner them
and tell them what’s wrong with them
and give them an ultimatum
(a choice to either make this decision
or they will lose you.)
This is 🅸🅽🆃🅴🆁🅲🅴🆂🆂🅸🅾🅽:
Get into a (prayer) room with God.
Better yet, get all their believing loved ones in a room together with God and resist the urge to gossip about their gaps, but stand in them instead.
Repent on their behalf. (It’s a real thing- in the Bible God would often call people not even involved in the sin, to figuratively take the sin upon themselves and repent for their nations as if it was they themselves who had done the sinning. It’s substitutionary, and it follows the model of Jesus who stood in our gaps and went to the cross, and who still stands beside the Father and intercedes for us.)
Cry out to Me (God) on their behalf!
Plead to Me that you know they want to believe but they need help with their unbelief!
Ask Me to help them see.
Ask Me to help you see them the way I do. (Which is not a failure
through the lens of religion,
but as a fallen and lost son or daughter
who desperately needs to come home.)
Beg for Home (Me- I am your Home)
to come to them.
Show ultimate love
(instead of an ultimatum)—
which says with actions louder than words—
no matter what choice you make
I am going to choose
to always love you
enough to pray for you.
Even if you tell me to leave you alone,
even if you turn your heart from me,
I will never stop begging God
to not leave you or forsake you
(turn His from you.)
It is prayer like this that moves Me into action, says the Lord.
You want to see strongholds broken and hearts healed?
Learn to pray for people like this.
This is the reason I allow you to see their gaps.
Not so you can gawk at them.
Stop pretending you don’t see the gaps.
(I detest that kind of passivity.)
And stop trying to convince people to change their behavior.
I am looking to bring 🆃🆁🅰🅽🆂🅵🅾🆁🅼🅰🆃🅸🅾🅽,
not behavior modification,
says the Lord.

All I got today, is what He said. ⤴️
It needs no additives from me.
I certainly am still learning to walk in this,
and needed this bold reminder from Him just as much as anyone else.
But if He only used perfect people as mouthpieces, nobody would be able to speak His Word out.
