November 7, 2007 The Undetected Sacredness of Circumstances We know that all things work together for good to those who love God . . . Romans 8:28 The circumstances of a saint’s life are ordained of God. In the life of a saint there is no such thing as chance. God by His providence brings you into circumstances that you can’t understand at all, but the Spirit of God understands. God brings you to places, among people, and into certain conditions to accomplish a definite purpose through the intercession of the Spirit in you. Never put yourself in front of your circumstances and say, "I’m going to be my own providence here; I will watch this closely, or protect myself from that." All your circumstances are in the hand of God, and therefore you don’t ever have to think they are unnatural or unique. Your part in intercessory prayer is not to agonize over how to intercede, but to use the everyday circumstances and people God puts around you by His providence to bring them before His throne, and to allow the Spirit in you the opportunity to intercede for them. In this way God is going to touch the whole world with His saints. Am I making the Holy Spirit’s work difficult by being vague and unsure, or by trying to do His work for Him? I must do the human side of intercession— utilizing the circumstances in which I find myself and the people who surround me. I must keep my conscious life as a sacred place for the Holy Spirit. Then as I lift different ones to God through prayer, the Holy Spirit intercedes for them. Your intercessions can never be mine, and my intercessions can never be yours, ". . . but the Spirit Himself makes intercession" in each of our lives ( Romans 8:26 ). And without that intercession, the lives of others would be left in poverty and in ruin Final Thought: As intercessors we must always remain available to be used by the Holy Spirit, remembering that, “He every makes intercession for us all”. To try and intercede without him would be like trying to breathe without lungs, or walk without feet and legs; so it would be should we try to intercede without the leading of the Holy Spirit. Always invite rather insist that He the Holy Spirit joins you when you pray, He will always be a welcomed companion to join you in prayer and intercession for those whom you interceder. He’s always looking for someone to stand in the gap and intercede for mankind and this world we live in. What an honor it is to be not just willing but chosen by Him for such a wonderful task and service. Holy Spirit here am I use me as you will… but be advised He will, are you truly ready? Only you know for sure. Keep in mind: “The poor have a better relish of their enjoyments, and are often more thankful for them, than the rich. In like manner the proud and self-sufficient disdain the gospel; but those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, find comfort from the meanest book or sermon that testifies of Christ Jesus.” (Pr 27:8) Be blessed today and always, Love Mardina
