RHEMA 5/09/13  INTERCESSORS:  THE HONOR OF BRINGING COMFORT TO GOD

VISION:  I saw a fresh coat of asphalt being placed on a bridge on the right side. 

Isaiah 40:3-8 The voice of him that cries in the wilderness, Prepare you the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places smooth: 5 And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD has spoken it. 6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all its loveliness is as the flower of the field: 7 The grass withers, the flower fades: because the breath of the LORD blows upon it: surely the people are grass. 8 The grass withers, the flower fades: but the word of our God shall stand forever.

PIX:  I saw the word Intercessors. 

HEARD: Gather them, bring them in. 

HEARD:  My purposes for you intercessors are unique.  Gentle.  Friend.  My Beloved.  Hear Me.  What I am about to tell you.  All that is good, Jesus poured out onto the Father. 

REVELATION: He imparted knowledge and revelation into my heart and I heard things that I did not write down because I was so overwhelmed and undone by them.  But He said that the unique gift He gives the intercessors is to see the goodness of God and focus on that, and remind Him of Himself.  Jesus reminds the Father of His loving kindness and goodness and this comforts the Father’s own heart, against the wrath towards sin.  What a true honor to be in such a position with our Father!

Showing forth the goodness of God

Acts 10:38 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.

Romans 2:4 Or despise you the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

Romans 11:22 Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them who fell, severity; but toward you, goodness, if you continue in his goodness: otherwise you also shall be cut off.

2 Thessalonians 1:11 Therefore also we pray always for you, that our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfill all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power:

HEARD:  A great tribulation.  The Lord Jesus.  Living intercessor.  On our behalf.  

Psalms 27:13-14 I would have fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. 14 Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.

THE GIFT TO BE ABLE COMFORT GOD

When God relents of evil, it causes Him to breathe strongly and sigh, relieving a great burden.  He feels sorrow, pity and consolation over those who are so ignorant of His ways and rebellious.  When God relents of evil, He is comforted and eased of such great conflict between Himself and mankind.

WORD TO PONDER:  MY FRIENDS YOU COMFORT ME 5/09/13

My dear Friends, you comfort Me when you focus on My goodness.  When you live gentle, peaceful and righteous lives, averting your eyes and ears from bloodshed, how can I not help but bow very low to listen to you?  You remind Me of all that is good!  You are the very deep regions of Who I AM and when I hear your hearts, it appeases My heart.

The death of the wicked brings me no pleasure at all.  There is no satisfaction in it.  I AM both good and severe.  It is only because of the rebellion of mankind, that they must learn righteousness through judgment in the earth.  So many will not come to Me without the sufferings of discipline, justice and finally judgment. For those in the world, there is a need to wake up and hear My warnings of justice then judgments with the coming tribulation.

But to you beloved intercessors, I yearn for you to stand in the gap for your unrighteous loved ones, and continue to pray in the last day wave of My supernatural Spirit that will bring in the end time harvest.   For you to focus on the negativity of death and destruction leaves no hope at all.  It gives Me great comfort when you live righteous lives and pray for My goodness to bring deliverance and help in a time of trouble. My desire is that all will know My goodness that leads them into repentance. 

Isaiah 26:9 With my soul have I desired you in the night; yea, with my spirit within me will I seek you early: for when your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness.

Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, As I live, says the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn you, turn you from your evil ways; for why will you die, O house of Israel?
