Song Of Intercession Intro - William McDowell

It’s so important that we surrender

'Cause there are things on the heart of the Father

That we can’t even know until we posture ourselves

To surrender to what He wants

We’ve been… deceived by the enemy

In the area of prayer

Because, specifically--I know this will go around the world

But specifically in America

The most financially prosperous nation on the earth--

The enemy has deceived many parts of the church

By convincing us to continue praying for our own needs

When we have everything we can possibly imagine

If we were to heed the words of Jesus, he said:

Take no thought of what you will each

What you will drink, or what you will wear

For your Father knows that you have

Needed these things before you ask

It goes on later to say

Consider the lilies of the field:

They neither toil nor spin

Yet Solomon, the richest man that ever lived

In his glory, was never arrayed like one of these

God… knows what we have need of

I want to invite us to a new posture

Of understanding and prayer

Don’t spend your faith on yourself

That’s lower-level prayer

How can we ever apprehend the heart of the Father

For the nations, if we keep worrying about

If He’ll pay our bills next month?

The nations are desperately in need

Of a church who will arise in power

And intercede on their behalf

That the Lord of Glory would intervene

On the affairs of the earth

I just wonder, if in this moment

There are some people who say

«Okay, I get it.»

Maybe some of you for the first time

Posture yourself in the position in prayer

To apprehend God in a way that says:

«Lord, this prayer, this cry

Is not about me, is not about my needs

Is not about my desires

It’s about what You want

It’s about interceding for the nations

Is there anyone in this room tonight

Who have enough faith to know that

Everyone of your needs is taken care of

It’s time for us to intercede

On behalf of the nations

It’s time for us to intercede

On behalf of the nations!
