God is still seeking Intercessors

{John 3:16. For God so greatly loved and dearly prized His World that He even gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in, trusts in, clings to, relies on, Him shall not perish or come to destruction, be lost, but shall have eternal everlasting LIFE!}

He saw that there was no one, 

He was appalled that there was no one to intervene.

Isaiah 59:16

Thank you Father, for Your invitation to take part in the extension of Your Kingdom by unceasing prayer and intercession.

From the earliest ages God had among His people intercessors to whom He listened and through whom He gave deliverance.Here we read of a time when He searched in vain for an intercessor. And He was “appalled that there was no one to intervene.”                                 

Think of what this means.  God could not find even one who loved the people enough to intercede on their behalf, or who had sufficient faith in His power to deliver.  If there had been an intercessor He would have given deliverance without an Intercessor. His judgements came down (see Isaiah 64:7,Ezekiel 22:30,31).

Of what infinite importance is the place the intercessor holds in the Kingdom of God! Is it not indeed a matter of wonder that God should give men such power, and yet that there are so few who know what it is to take hold of His strength and pray down His blessing on the World?

After Christ had taken His place on the throne, the work of the extension of His Kingdom was given into the hands of men.  Christ lives to pray. God rules the World and His Church through the prayers of His Children.  That God made the extension ofHis Kingdom largely dependent on the faithfulness of His people in prayer is a stupendous mystery and yet an absolute certainty.  God calls for intercessors, and in His grace He has made His work dependent on them. He waits for us.
