INTERCESSION FOR DAVID AND MICHAL  11/12/06

A spirit of weeping came over me at church tonight.  I felt the deep pain of those marriages who are unequally yoked where the men have loved the Presence and anointing of God and they have been called fools and were despised by way of demonic forces through their loved ones.  I wept deep, deep sobs over their pain, as they have sacrificed so deeply in yearnings for their brides to follow them in ushering in the ark of God’s Presence.  At one point I saw a man in a bridal white tux carrying his bride in his arms with so much labor because he did not want to leave her behind. 

Earlier during worship, I heard the demonic continue to say, “fool!” and I saw a huge rock in the path.  I understood the rock was the stone of offense where those who were willing to be fools for Jesus had become rocks to stumble the religious people and who were branded as fools.  It was not until I felt David’s heart for his bride, who had looked down upon him and despised the purity of his abandoned worship, did I understand that he was a type of the fool for Jesus.  He had chosen to be nakedly transparent in his testimony of his love and pursuit of the Lord and suffered deeply for it. 

I saw how many men had moved forward in God a few paces, then once again offered liberal sacrifices.  I understood that many men have walked out an intercession with the heart of Jesus over His beloved Bride, to carry her, stir her, wake her, draw her out of religion, and into intimacy with Him to become equally yoked with Him.  They were doing so at great, great cost. 

I asked forgiveness for all those despisers who dethroned the Word of God.  I asked forgiveness for all those who dared to call common that which was holy.  I asked for mercy over those who had despised those who wholeheartedly responded to God’s Presence.  I sobbed and wept and prayed.  I knew the Holy Spirit had become grieved.  I begged the Lord for the unequally yoked marriages, that He would give the Michals a second chance.  That He would deliver them from despising the Holy Spirit and give them altercations just like He did Saul on the road to Damascus.  I felt no answer to this prayer as though it was closed and this made me cry more. 

Then the Spirit of prophesy came upon me and I saw that David was covered with fool’s gold.  As the ark of His Presence was ushered into the city, the gold from the ark began to replace the fool’s gold and cover David with the pure gold.  And when David became pure gold like the ark, he had the heart of God’s mercy seat within him.  I saw that all David chose to touch would turn to gold and it was given to David the choice to touch anyone he chose with God’s golden Presence, including his wife with golden mercy.  If she received, she would receive through her husband at his hand.  It was his right to give or withhold and I saw the power of intercession as it truly was - over those whose hands and mouths are not innocent. 

REVELATION:  Later as I thought about the intercession, I remembered that Michal was the daughter of Saul.  There has been a long war between the house of Saul and the house of David.  Throughout the years, the Holy Spirit has become very grieved with those who took His anointing and placed it under their own control and for their own gain.  Thus His fresh anointing and outpouring has turned to the house of David.  It is in the anointing of David, that He will bring in the blessing of His Presence and bring mercy to all who repent from the house of Saul.

2 Sam 6:13-16 NKJV

And so it was, when those bearing the ark of the LORD had gone six paces, that he sacrificed oxen and fatted sheep. Then David  danced  before the LORD with all his might; and David  was wearing a linen ephod. So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting and with the sound of the trumpet.  Now as the ark of the LORD came into the City of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

Job 22:25-30 NKJV

Yes, the Almighty will be your gold and your precious silver; For then you will have your delight in the Almighty, and lift up your face to God. You will make your prayer to Him, He will hear you, and you will pay your vows. You will also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; So light will shine on your ways. When they cast you down, and you say, 'Exaltation will come!' Then He will save the humble person.  He will even deliver one who is not innocent; Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands."
