Become an Intercessor!

Become an Intercessor!
- Pastor Ashish Mathews

Ezekiel 22:30
So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.

Intercession means to stand in the gap and pray for the salvation of the people of this world. Your intercession can bring people to Christ and thereby save them from the coming judgement and the day of wrath. Become an intercessor!

Intercession is the very heart of God for God desires all men to be saved. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. This is why we intercede for the lost and unsaved so that their eyes would be opened and they would turn to Jesus and escape the day of wrath. Acts 4.12 says, Salvation is found only in the name of Jesus for there is no other name given under heaven whereby mankind can be saved. Revelation 20:15 says, And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. The only entrance to the Book of Life is by faith in Jesus Christ because Jesus died for the sins of humanity, was buried and rose again on the third day perfectly justified. Anyone who believes in Jesus escapes the judgement, wrath and condemnation of God because Jesus took it all and paid for it all with His own blood. Pray for your family members, your friends, your relatives, your loved ones and stand in the gap for them and snatch them from the fires of hell. Selfishness refuses to intercede. Love intercedes! Compassion intercedes! Mercy intercedes! Write down the names of your unsaved loved ones and start praying for them diligently to be saved. Through you prayers, demonic powers will be bound, labourers will be released, souls will be saved and Jesus will be glorified. Stand in the gap and save people from the eternal and horrible fires of hell. Start today! Intercession is powerful.

Friend, every believer is called to intercede. Why don't you enroll yourself as an intercessor in the kingdom of God? Standing in the gap and praying for the lost is big in the eyes of God. We must save as many as we can from the fires of hell. Stand in the gap! Remember who you are! You are the salt of the earth! Preserve and add value! Become an intercessor!
