weapon we have today in our battle against
the powers of darkness.

Whatever POSITION Godhas put you in, you holdthe GATEWAY to thatposition. (I am the DOOR.)You are responsible for the
door. Example -Intercessors you are theWATCHMAN, pick up whatis coming. You will be thefirst one to be hit before the
group you are looking afteras Watchman. Once it getspast the watchman, itaffects the people.

God is no respecter of persons, He has no favorites. Butthere are those who find favor with God. To anyone in theearnest pursuit of God and His ways, I commend thesestudies. The precious treasures of God are withheld fromthe careless and the satisfied, and are revealed to thehungry, the determined, and the one hundred percentinvolved with God. ALWAYS SET YOUR HEART FORSOMETHING HIGHER FOR GOD, FOR HIS GREATERPURPOSES.
There will be those who dare to take God at His word and
cross the spiritual deserts of our time, finding their waythrough to Gods answer for this generation.
Are you one of them???

Jesus is the intercessor
The principle ofintercession is related toMANS REDEMPTION. Aproper understanding ofthis is crucial! Only as weunderstand this, can weproceed and be effectivein our intercession.
Jesus has accomplished
an incredible work ofintercession on the Cross,which we now need toENFORCE in the earth.

III. Mans Role in the Earth
Most Christians do notunderstand the extent ofGods decision to makeHimself dependentupon man. Theimplications of this are
profound and must beunderstood if we are tounderstand intercession.I believe the plans ofGod are greatlyhindered because we
have wrong notions ofthe sovereignty of God.Hence, many thingsdont happen which Godhas purposed.

God works through Man
Whatever God does, He does thru His people.From the beginning, God determined that theaffairs of the Earth would be governed by man.
God made man to rule in the earth. Man wascreated to be an extension of the family of God inheaven. HE WAS TO BRING AND MAINTAIN THERULE OF GOD IN THE EARTH. He was to make the
earth like heaven, and he himself was to reflectGod.
Read Genesis 1:26-28

Man was given dominion over all the earth
Psalm 8:3-8 Made to rule
Psalm 115:16 The earth
given to man
1 Corinthians11:7 Man in theimage and
glory of God.
SO COMPLETE WAS
MANS AUTHORITY IN
THE EARTH, THAT HE
HAD THE RIGHT TO GIVE
IT AWAY (to Satan).
THIS RIGHT WOULD
HAVE GRAVECONSEQUENCES ON
MANS FUTURE IN THE
EARTH.
Man made in Gods image and
glory to rule in the earth, to
govern the earth for God.
Man was to be Gods mediator,
His mouthpiece in the earth.

B. Satan Obtained Authority in the Earth
Luke 4:6
And the devil said unto
him, All this power will I
give thee, and the glory
of them: for that is
delivered unto me; and
to whomsoever I will
give it.
Satan had the LEGAL
RIGHT, the Lord Jesus
did not contest it.
John 12:31, 14:30,
16:11
Satan, the prince of this
world
2 Cor. 4:4
Satan, the god of this
world

The plans and purposes ofGod are greatly hindered bya wrong conception of thesovereignty of God. Godcan do all things, but that
does not mean that Hedoes. The WILL OF GOD(including prophecies) ISNOT AUTOMATIC IN THEEARTH, OR IN YOUR LIFE,
OR IN YOUR CITY ORNATION. We need to graspthis, it is very important.This will be contested bythe enemy.

God is in control to the degree that we put
him in control
Adam, (Man) gave hisauthority over the earthaway to Satan.
In order to get it back,God had to do it throughMAN ... thus theIncarnation.
Romans 5:14-15 Nevertheless death reigned
from Adam to Moses, evenover them that had notsinned afler the similitude
of Adams transgression,who is the figure of himthat was to come. But not
as the offence, so also isthe free gift. For if throughthe offence of one many
be dead, much more thegrace of God, and the giftof grace, which is by oneman, Jesus Christ, hathabounded unto many.

C. Man would forever be linked to
authority over the earth
This is the reason for
prayer. God will not
sovereignly move
because He has givendominion/authority to
Man
Every CHANGE in ourlife has to BE BIRTHED
through PRAYER.
EXAMPLES:
ELIJAH - 1 Kings 18, James 5.Elijah stops the rain. It was Godsidea but Elijah had to travail.
DANIEL - Dan. 9, Danieldiscovered the prophecies ofJeremiah regarding the seventyyear captivity. The time was up,but he had to co-operate withGod and pray. He had to beconsistent and diligent in prayer.It would NOT have come to pass if
Daniel DID NOT PRAY. EZEK. 22:30-31 - God looked for a
man, an intercessor to stopjudgment on the land.

Thy Kingdom come
Matt. 6:10 Thy Kingdom come.
Greek for come: Ginomai- A COMMAND, not
just passive prayer.
Gods kingdom comes when we, with
authority, command it to come, to be
established. IF WE DONT - HE WONT.

Romans 8:26-27 Rom. 8:26-27 Likewise the
Spirit also helpeth ourinfirmities: for we know notwhat to pray for as we
ought: but the Spirit itselfmaketh intercession for uswith groanings whichcannot he uttered. And hethat searcheth the heartsknoweth what is the mind
of the Spirit, because hemaketh intercession for thesaints according to the willof God.
Rom. 8:28 tells us thatall things worktogether for good. ISTHAT TRUE?
Not unless verses 26and 27 are in place,only after PRAYING IT
THROUGH.

GOD DOES NOT WORK IN THE EARTH
APART FROM REDEEMED MAN, YOU ANDME.
HE HAS CHOSEN TO ADMINISTER HISAFFAIRS IN THE EARTH THROUGH THE
CHURCH.
OUR CO-OPERATION WITH HIM IN THIS IS
VITAL FOR THE WILL OF GOD TO BE DONE.

Pray the purposes of Godin your life,
family, nation!
Cooperate with God, BRING THEM TO
BIRTH.
God works through Man - through you,
through us.
When things go wrong in your life, it does notmean that you are out of the will of God oryouve missed it, not sensed Gods Spirit.
