March 30, 2013 - My Personal Intercessor

Good morning to my healthy friends, I didn't blog yesterday as I had prayer at church early and then we ended with prayer last night. GREAT day! Praying with my church fam on the bottom and top end of the day brought such a smile to my face. I pray you are comforted and rejoicing this day as you remember God's amazing plan and display of love for you. Nothing can compare. I cannot even begin to wrap my small brain around this kind of sacrifice for someone so undeserving as myself. I had a melt down yesterday and then while reading in Luke this morning, a deeper revelation came that reinforced the concept that EVEN in "melt down phase" God still thinks I'm a GREAT kid. WOW! This week we have been concentrating on the final journey of Jesus. As we complete this week, let's focus on LIFE following death - resurrection #5. We celebrate the resurrection for many reasons, only one of which is the hope each of us has that we will someday conquer the final enemy, death. We spoke in our last blog of the fear of death and hopefully you gained a different perspective on that journey. Today, let's open our heart to the vision of seeing Jesus seated at the right had of Father God constantly praying for each of us. That is ONE of the benefits on Jesus' death. While He no longer walks the Earth, there is no one I would rather know is praying for me than God's own son. How about you? Before I left for Thailand, I gathered a team of people that committed to pray for me during the 2 week journey. At times when I was confronted or discouraged, my heart remembered people were praying. While they committed to pray for me for 2 weeks, Jesus has committed to pray for us 24/7 for an entire lifetime. Anybody got tears in your eyes? Do you have a friend like that? I have many beautiful friends, but I don't know of one who never stops praying and believing for the best for me. (now I am tearing!) Jesus never grows tired of calling our name and speaking life. He never grows weary of our shenanigans. He never grows weary of our asking for His help on our health journey. NEVER. He has God's heart for each of us and constantly makes intercession on our behalf. That's one of the benefits of Jesus' life after death to the believer. I don't where you are on your health journey today or your life's journey. But remember...every journey has a beginning and an end. It's the middle that's the tough part and we have the King of Kings committed to being our personal intercessor during the tough part. Thank you Jesus that you care and you pray.
