This Is A Me

Fluorescent lights really don’t make it easy to intercede.  Somehow their glare dulls the senses and annoys the eyes.  And a multi-purpose room with a low, pre-fab platform doesn’t really exude ‘coolness’ and ‘urgency’ and ‘intensity’.  But, gosh, when something is on the Lord’s heart, His grace is abundant, and you could be standing in the middle of Walmart’s Home Storage aisle and be as engaged as you are standing in a multi-million dollar venue with strobe lights and throbbing bass.  IHOP’s multi-purpose room served just fine.

Kathy Coburn, the director of Bound for Life ATL, led about eighty-or-so people in intercession for:

• preservation of the mystery of Christ and the Church as exemplified through marriage between a man and a woman–specifically for the passing of Proposition 8 in the upcoming vote in California
• ending of abortion across the nation–specifically for a third pro-life seat in the Supreme Court (fulfilling a prophecy given over sixteen years ago)
• mercy on Atlanta, the city that proposed the bill that eventually legalized abortion all over the nation
• release of the spirit of adoption–specifically that the Church would step in to adopt unwanted children, as the answer to her own prayer with Jesus to raise up a generation of worshipers and forerunners for Christ’s second return

One of the most precious aspects of these two hours was an abundance of little children running through the congregation the entire time.  I am sure the parents felt like they needed to keep their children under control a little better, but I was so grateful to see their little ones joyfully parading their beautiful life before me.  It tenderized my heart to the message of the Lord and His invitation to receive the Spirit of the Son that cries “Abba!”.

You are a Father to the fatherless

You are a Lover to the desolate
