May 2nd – Capsule Two
TOPIC: INTERCESSION OR ACCUSATION?
BIBLE TEXT: At that time, when you call, the Lord will answer; when you cry out, HE will say: Here I am. If you get rid of the yoke from those around you, the finger-pointing and malicious speaking – Isaiah 58 vs. 9
Has your healing failed to come? Do troubles follow you more than blessings? Are your prayers seldom answered? The reason could be a yoke in your life called – “The pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness and maliciously”. God promised through Isaiah that things will change radically when you remove this yoke!
There are two ministries that go on continually before the throne of God. One is intercession. The other is accusation. Jesus lives to intercede for His people, and if you abide in Him you will intercede for them too (see Hebrews 7 vs. 25). On the other side, Satan is “the accuser of our brethren” (Revelation 12 vs. 10). When you give him access to your life, you will become increasingly critical of others.
You have got to make a choice about which of these ministries will be yours. You may ask how Satan can continually accuse the saints before God, if he’s been thrown out of heaven. The answer is, he uses the saints to do it for him. Anytime you see one believer accusing another, he’s at work. Satan know the authority God has given to any two who will agree in prayer (Matthew 18 vs. 19)
