Lyrics Song Of Intercession Intro - William McDowell

Song Of Intercession Intro

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!
