Between Enemies

Interceptions are awesome! I love playing and watching football. I especially love watching the picks, and doing it myself is an absolute thrill. The face of the QB usually reflects a look of disgust. The enemy got between him and his receiver. Don't you feel bad for him? I guess that depends on the QB and the team protecting him.

Well, that's a bit of the devil in me. Satan loves to get between people, and for all the wrong reasons. He wants to get between you and your spouse; You and your parents; You and your in-laws. He loves messing up relationships. He loves getting between people that are supposed to be on the same side, so he can get them on different sides, which can both then be on his side (however that works)... He is the master deceiver and confuser, the father of lies, the great accuser, and he wants to get between you and the ones you love, especially The One that loves you more than father or mother, The One that loves you eternally, The Lord God Your Savior.

So, I have two questions for you. One, are you going to let him do that to you? And two, are you going to get between Satan and the ones you love? Are you going to pray on their behalf? It's called intercession. Are you going to intercede for the people you know and love?

Moses interceded for the Israelites when poisonous snakes where upon them, and on many other occasions. The Aronic priests interceded for Israelites as they brought sacrifices to God. The Spirit of God intercedes for us, when we don't even know what to pray. And above all, Jesus is our complete intercession. He is The One that goes before God on our behalf, and he has gone between us and Satan to separate us from the sin that so easily entangles.

So what are you going to do? ... Go before the Lord on behalf of a friend or loved one. Pray to get Satan out of the lives of those you care about. Go between them and Satan. Go before God and ask for his help.

God Save the U.S.A.

Having a brother who intercedes on your behalf - awesome! Having Christ intercede on our behalf - need we say - priceless! Our primary example is in Christ. What a blessing to know we are being interceded for and we can intercede for those around us.
