ANOTHER COFFEE BREAK: INTERCESSION, Part 3<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>

And a Gooooooodddd<\/span> Morrrrrrrnnnnniiinnnnggg<\/span> to you!<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

Yup.  It is!  And I'm already into my second cup of\nFrench Roasted Columbian Supremo<\/span> -- made in the\nFrench Press, of course.  Got yours, yet?  Well whaddaya<\/span>\nwaitin<\/span>' for?  Christmas?  <\/span><\/b>(oooopppsss<\/span>...that's just around the corner.)<\/span>  Hehehehehehe<\/span>........<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n

When I first started this discussion on intercession, I\ndidn't expect it to stretch out like this, but because the Lord has really\ncompelled Della and me to intercede more and more and more in the past weeks,\nit seems like there is a lot more understanding unfolding for both of us in\nthis realm.  That being the case, it is appropriate for me to share this\ncontinuing revelation for your growth and understanding as well.<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n\n

In our last Coffee Break, I quoted from I Timothy\n2:1-5: <\/span>"I exhort therefore, that, first\nof all, <\/span><\/i><\/b>1<\/span><\/sup>supplications,<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/span>2<\/span><\/sup>prayers,<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/span>3<\/span><\/sup>intercessions, and <\/span><\/i><\/b>4<\/span><\/sup>giving of thanks,\nbe made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may\nlead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.  For this is\ngood and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour<\/span>;\nWho will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the\ntruth.  For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the\nman Christ Jesus; Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due\ntime."<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n

We talked about the four specific commands embodied in\nPaul's instruction: (1) Supplications, (2) Prayers, (3) Intercessions, and (4)\nGiving of Thanks.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

For the sake of short review, supplications comes from the\nGreek word, <\/span>de.esis<\/span><\/i><\/span>; meaning petitions or requests.  Prayers, in this\ninstance, is taken from <\/span>proseuchomai<\/span><\/i><\/span>,<\/span> a covenant term better translated: worship. \nThe third word -- intercessions -- is a term we would better frame within the\ncontext of a courtroom; and it comes from the Greek <\/span>enteuxis<\/span><\/i><\/span>; and means: to present a legal argument based in Law\n(that is, to confer with, to mediate on behalf of, or to deal with an\nunresolved issue).  The fourth command -- the giving of thanks -- is\nanother covenant word in Greek <\/span>eucharistia<\/span><\/i><\/span>. \nThis word defines gratefulness, gratitude towards God for His keeping covenant\nwith His people.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Each of these words or phrases are drawn from the picture\nof the Covenant God made with Abraham.  The event is told in Genesis 15\n(you can read it for yourself) but I will simply draw the picture for\nyou.  We know from all of the references in Scripture that this is the\nfifth time the Lord has appeared to Abraham.  But this time is\ndifferent.  In each previous appearance, God has spoken to him and made\nsome very singular promises.  What separates this fifth appearance of the\nLord from all previous events is the fact that God now makes a promise to\nAbraham that -- for Abraham -- is simply impossible to enact by any means of\ncalculating or reasoning.  Sarah has been barren in all the years of their\nmarried life, and Abraham is well past the age of male fertility; and yet, God\npromises that Abraham's seed -- of his loins -- will be innumerable as the\nstars in the heavens and the sand of the seashore.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Verse 6 of this chapter tells us that in spite of the\nimpossibility of the event, Abraham believed God.  Now God is going to\netch His promises to Abraham in the form of a Legal Covenant, the likes of\nwhich Abraham -- and all his generations thereafter -- will clearly understand\nand be able to relate to: a Covenant of Blood.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

I remember during my growing-up years hearing about\n"the Blood, the Blood, the Blood" and singing all those songs (Oh,\nthe Blood of Jesus<\/i>; The Old Rugged Cross<\/i>, Power in the\nBlood<\/i>, Nothing But the Blood, <\/i>etc., etc.), wondering why\nthere was so much importance put on the blood of Jesus being shed.  Sure,\nI knew all the usual things: He died to save us from sin; He paid the price for\nour freedom, His death and resurrection restored what was lost when Adam and\nEve sinned and brought a curse to mankind; but the real significance of what\ntook place on the Cross was not something any of us really understood at the\ntime, and the concept of "Covenant" simply was lost on us.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

It never occurred to me that blood was shed from the time\nAdam and Eve were kicked out of the Garden.  Consider for a moment that\nwhen they lost their "covering" and clothing of Glory, they were\nnaked.  Yet God made a covering for them of animal skins -- a poor\nsubstitute for the Glory of God, but a covering nonetheless.  In order for\nGod to provide those animal skins, the animals had to die and their blood be\nshed in the process.  It was to set the future pattern for\n"covering," protection, blessing and redemption.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Now God gives seemingly strange instruction to Abraham.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

"Take me an heifer of three years\nold, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a\nturtledove, and a young pigeon.  And he took unto him all these, and\ndivided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the\nbirds divided he not."<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n

There's a prophetic picture in the choice of these animals\n(and one I don't have time to delve into with all the specifics today) but\nGod's command to Abraham in choosing these animals was very deliberate. \nThese animals would represent every spectrum of the promises to be made, and\nevery kind of character and personality in the generations to follow.  The\nnumber (5) of animals chosen would -- again -- be prophetic.  It\ndenoted <\/span>k<\/span><\/i>heseed<\/span><\/i><\/span>: that\nremarkable and astonishing grace<\/b> of God which represented His\nBlessing, His lovingkindness<\/span> and tender mercy, His favor,\nHis total covering, protection and provision for every conceivable need or\nsituation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Now God puts Abraham into a vision-state.  He cannot\npermit Abraham to actually see Him physically, so He places Abraham in a\nposition that will allow him to see what takes place without endangering him by\nthe Glory of His actual physical being.  And God shows up in person to\nenact this Covenant.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

What Abraham sees is what Moses and the Children of Israel\nwill see some 400-plus years in the future as God takes them out of bondage in\nEgypt: a pillar of smoke and a column of fire.  And God now walks up and\ndown, back and forth in the blood that is flowing between the divided halves of\nthe animals.  As He does so, He declares and decrees His Covenant promise to\nAbraham.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

"And he said unto Abram, Know of\na surety that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and\nshall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years; And also that\nnation, whom they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward shall they come out\nwith great substance.  And thou shalt<\/span> go to thy\nfathers in peace; thou shalt<\/span> be buried in a good old\nage.  But in the fourth generation they shall come hither again: for the\niniquity of the Amorites is not yet full."<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n

"In the same day the LORD made a\ncovenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the\nriver of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates: The Kenites<\/span>, and the Kenizzites<\/span>, and\nthe Kadmonites<\/span>, And the Hittites, and the Perizzites<\/span>, and the Rephaims<\/span>, And\nthe Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Girgashites<\/span>,\nand the Jebusites<\/span>."<\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n\n

God had already made this same promise to Abraham, but now\nHe seals it in an unbreakable Covenant.  This Covenant is a legal act, a\ndecree which cannot be altered or broken.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

As Paul notes in his letter to the Hebrews, <\/span>"For when God made promise to Abraham, because He\ncould sware<\/span> by no greater, He sware<\/span>\nby Himself, saying Surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will\nmultiply thee." <\/span><\/i><\/b> (Hebrews\n6:13-14)<\/span><\/p>\n\n

It is important to note that in a Covenant relationship,\nboth parties literally give their all to the other.  They become\n"joined at the hip" to use the old metaphor.  Whatever one party\nto the covenant has, the other is entitled to without question.  Each acts\nfor and on behalf of the other.  Each watches out for the other.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

This is a covenant of blood.  Since as we all\nknow <\/span>"The life of the flesh is in the\nblood"<\/span><\/i><\/b> (Leviticus 17:11), a covenant\nof blood meant "life for life."  If one party were to violate\nthe covenant, his life was forfeit.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

That God fulfilled His part of the Covenant -- and\ncontinues to this day to fulfill it -- is evident in all that we have and\nreceive through Jesus Christ.  Abraham, however, fulfilled his part of the\ncovenant in a way most folks today would find impossible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

During the years, God had withheld nothing from\nAbraham.  He was easily the Bill Gates of his day being the richest and\narguably the most powerful man on the planet.  It mattered not what\nAbraham required, God met that need.  But now it is God's turn to ask\nsomething of Abraham -- and if he is going to perpetuate this extraordinary\ncovenant blessing in the generations to come, he must -- without hesitation --\ngive God whatever He asks of Abraham.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

And God asks him to offer up his only son -- the son in\nand through whom God has promised the Covenant Blessing would be implemented --\nas a burnt sacrifice to Him.  Sounds nuts, doesn't it?  Sounds like a\ncontradiction!  Why would God ask Abraham for the very thing through which\nHis Covenant Blessing was promised?<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Easy.  Isaac represented literally the whole of\nAbraham's life, his future, the generations to follow.  God had withheld\nnothing from Abraham.  Now Abraham must likewise withhold nothing from\nGod.  And here is the crux of the whole picture, the focal point of the\nBlessing of Abraham, the essence of Covenant with God.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Watch.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

"By faith Abraham, when he was\ntried, offered up Isaac: and he that had received the promises offered up his\nonly begotten son,  Of whom it was said, That in Isaac shall thy seed be\ncalled: Accounting that God was able to raise him up, even from the dead; from\nwhence also he received him in a figure."<\/span><\/i><\/b>  (Hebrews 11:17-19)<\/span><\/p>\n\n

See it?  Abraham's absolute and resolute trust and\nfaith in God and in His Word was so great that even if Isaac died on an altar\nof sacrifice to the Lord, he knew without question that God would raise Isaac\nfrom the dead in order to keep His Covenant Word.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

But here's the best part!<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Jesus came as the "Seed of Abraham" AND<\/b> as\nthe Son of God so that both ends of the Covenant were met at once in a single\nmoment and in a single person.  God did not require the sacrifice of Isaac\nfrom Abraham in order for Abraham to keep his part of the Covenant, but\nprovided him a ram instead at the last second to offer in Isaac's place.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Some seventeen- or eighteen hundred years later, Jesus\ncame along.  By reason of his being brought into the earth through Mary,\nhe qualified legitimately as the Seed of Abraham.  By virtue of His having\nbeen conceived through the Holy Spirit, Jesus was the Son of God.  In Him,\nGod offered up His ultimate sacrifice -- the sacrifice of His Only Son. \nAt the same time, as the Seed of Abraham, he was able to legally fulfill the\nprice of Abraham's part in the Covenant of Blessing -- the offering up of his\nseed to the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Jesus' willingness to become the fulfillment of the Law of\nthe Covenant on both sides meant that all who come to God through Him have\ncomplete and total access to every part of the Blessing, by the Law of God!<\/span><\/p>\n\n

OK.  Now that we've drawn this picture of the Abrahamic<\/span> Covenant, let's take it forward in time so that\nwe understand the covenant nature of Paul's command in his letter to Timothy,\nand how intercession is so intricately woven into covenant.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

In the apostle Paul's letter to the Galatians, he\nwrites, <\/span>"Even as Abraham believed God,\nand it was accounted to him for righteousness.  Know ye therefore that\nthey which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.  And the\nscripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith,\npreached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be\nblessed.  So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful\nAbraham." <\/span><\/i><\/b> (Galatians\n3:6-9)<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Paul continues, <\/span>"Christ\nhath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it\nis written, Cursed is every one that hangeth<\/span> on a\ntree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus\nChrist; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith."<\/span><\/i><\/b> <\/span> (Galatians 3:13-14)<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Have we gotten there, yet?  Are you seeing the\nprogression from Abraham to us?  We are recipients of the Blessing of\nAbraham <\/span>(1) <\/span><\/b>by and through the blood that Jesus shed, <\/span>(2)<\/span><\/b> our acceptance and acknowledgement\nof Him as the redeemer and mediator of the Covenant, and <\/span>(3)<\/span><\/b> our participation in that\nCovenant by faith.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

That being the case, let's return to the four commands\nPaul gives in I Timothy 2:1-5.  The first, of course, is the presentation\nof the petition.  The petition, however, is presented because of the\nCovenant we have with God through the Lord Jesus Christ.  Our request is\npresented with the full faith and trust of God's Word backing our petition.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

What is the nature of our petition?  We are coming\nbefore God as intercessors, as People of the Covenant, on behalf of God's\nWord.  We are bringing Kingdom Authority into this natural world,\noverruling the works of the flesh, defeating Satan and his army of demons and demonic\nprinces, and implementing the Kingdom of God on His behalf "for all men,\nfor kings and all that are in authority" so that "all men" will\nhave the opportunity to respond to the redemptive plan Jesus made available.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

We are "standing in the gap" putting our lives,\nall that we have, and all that we are on the line so that Jesus receives His\ninheritance in us.  If we do not stand in the gap, God must <\/b>(because\nHe is righteous and just) execute His wrath upon "the children of\ndisobedience."<\/span><\/p>\n\n

To stand in the gap means that we present ourselves before\nthe Lord in and on His behalf.  We do so, both presenting ourselves as an\nact of worship, and also actually worshiping Him -- "in Spirit and in\nTruth."  Thus the second part of Paul's instruction -- translated\n"prayers" in the KJV -- is actually "worship."  But\nthis isn't simply worshiping the Lord because we want to spend time with\nHim.  This is worship in the context of our Covenant with Him.  As\nthe Author, Implementer and Finisher of the Covenant, He is worthy of our worship. \nHe is due that worship.  Our worship recognizes and acknowledges Him and\nthe fact that without the redemptive work that Jesus Christ did on our behalf,\nwe could not come before Him at all!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n

It may seem a bit incongruous that we now intercede in the\nmidst of the worship, but let's put this all in its proper context.  We\nare in the Courtroom of the Universe.  This is a legal situation, and we\nare here for the purpose of implementing God's Word in an environment that is\nhostile to Him and resists submitting to His Word at every possible\ninstance.  We are here to enforce the Word.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Intercession is nothing more and nothing less than\npresenting our legal arguments before God.  What makes those arguments\nlawful and enforceable is the very Word God has Himself spoken.  We come,\ntherefore, into this August Presence armed with the Word, reminding God of\nprecisely what He has decreed and spoken.  His Word is the Final\nAuthority.  Everything that happens is based on what He has already\nspoken.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

It is important to note that we waste our time and God's\ntime if we attempt to come before Him with requests and petitions NOT based in\nHis Word.  That means we'd best KNOW what He has said and be able to\ndeclare that Word before Him.  As God spoke through the prophet\nIsaiah, <\/span>"Put me in remembrance; let us\nplead together; declare thou, that thou mayest<\/span> be\njustified."  <\/span><\/i><\/b>(Isaiah\n43:26)<\/span><\/p>\n\n

He, therefore, makes it clear that He wants us to remind\nHim of what He has already spoken.  Our ability to do that means that we\nare not coming before Him frivolously, that we KNOW<\/b> His Will,\nand that we are desirous of implementing it.  It isn't that God has\nforgotten what He said.  Far from it!  He simply wants us to know and\nunderstand just exactly what we actually can do!<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n\n

And what we can actually do is to stand in the blood of\nJesus!<\/span><\/b>  Doing so reminds both us --\nand the Father -- that we have legal standing in this Court.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Finally, having presented His Word to Him as the legal\nbasis for our petition, faith in Him and faith in that Word we have presented\nnow demands that we offer thanks -- even before we've seen the manifestation of\nthat for which we asked.  Thanksgiving -- at this stage -- is again a\nCovenant act.  It is a statement of faith.  It is a declaration that\nwe know with absolute assurance He has heard us, we've come before Him with His\nWord, and He has responded accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

Thanksgiving -- in the Courtroom of the Universe --\nacknowledges that our petitions have been heard and that God has ruled in our\n(and not coincidentally, in His) favor!  John put it like this in his\nfirst general letter to the body of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

"And this is the confidence that\nwe have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His Will, he heareth<\/span> us: And if we know that He hear us, whatsoever we\nask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of Him." <\/span><\/i><\/b> (I John 5:14-15)<\/span><\/p>\n\n

So, there you go!<\/span><\/p>\n\n

We've presented our petitions.  We've come before the\nThrone of the Universe in worship.  We've presented our legal\ndocument.  We've come before God, standing in the blood of Jesus, and\ndemonstrated that we not only have the right to stand before Him with our\npetition, but also that our request has the merit of His own Word and the\npromises He has made.  Lastly, we've exhibited absolute and implicit trust\nand faith by offering up our gratitude and gratefulness for His having ruled in\nour favor concerning our requests.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

That, folks, is exactly what intercession is all\nabout.  We put our lives on the line.  We put all that we are and all\nthat we have on the line so that God will stay deserved judgment against those\nwho are rightfully due that judgment.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

This is the Thanksgiving season in America.  If\nyou've been presenting your requests before the Lord, you know that you have\nboth standing, and a sound legal argument before God predicated in His Word,\nthen spend these days in thanksgiving before Him.  Worship Him!  Pour\nout your whole being in love to the Lord, KNOWING that you are operating\naccording to His Will and functioning in the Covenant of Blessing God\noriginated through and with Abraham.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

See you again in a few days.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

The purpose of Covenant is to place God's mark in your\nforehead, that is, to mark your mind.  That Covenant is as valid today as\nit was in the Garden.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n\n

The Blessing of the Lord: it makes\nrich and He adds no painful toil and sorrow!<\/span><\/i><\/b>  <\/span>(Proverbs 10:22)  Be blessed!<\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n\n<\/ARTICLE>\n\n
