The Undetected Sacredness of Circumstances
“We know that all things work together for good to those who love God …” (Romans 8:28).
The circumstances in the life of a Christian is ordained of God. In a Christian’s life there is no such thing as chance. God in His providence brings you into circumstances that you can’t understand at all, however the Spirit of God understands. God takes you to places, among people, and into certain conditions to accomplish a definite purpose through the intercession of the Spirit in you. Never try to control the circumstances God place you in and say I’m going to fix this or that, or I will protect my self from that. All the circumstances a Christian find themselves in is ordained by God. The circumstances you see before you are in God’s hand. God want to use you in these circumstances. All your circumstances are in the hand of God, and therefore you don’t ever have to think or worry about its’ unnatural or unique attributes. god does not want you to agonize over how to intercede. God want us to use everyday circumstances and people He put around us by His providence to bring them before His throne, and allow the Holy Spirit in you the opportunity to intercede on their behalf. Your part in intercessory prayer is not to agonize over how to intercede, In this way God is going to touch the whole world with His saints.
Are we making the Holy Spirit’s work difficult by being vague and unsure, or by trying to do His work for Him? we must do the human side of intercession—utilizing the circumstances in which we find ourselves and the people who surround us. we must keep our conscious life as a sacred place for the Holy Spirit. Then as we lift different ones to God through prayer, the Holy Spirit intercedes for them. The Holy Spirit makes intercession in each of our lives. Without His intercession, the lives of others would be left in poverty.
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.
Our goal is to reach as many people as we can for Christ. If you enjoyed this post please donate to this ministry.
