Many speak of the call to become and serve as intercessory prayer warriors, which is good and necessary. Yet, we are living in times of great division and war throughout the nations that require an army of intercessory peace makers to rise and stand in the gap.
For I hear the Spirit of Christ speaking these words to us. "There is a great divide in this nation, and neither side is right. It's not about choosing a side, but standing in the gap between the two sides and becoming an intercessory peace maker. Do not feel pressured to pick a side or have an opinion on every issue. Just listen and be present in the conversation."
What does this mean for us individually and corporately? It means that in the midst of turmoil, strife, debate, battles and war God speaks and His Word always releases GOOD NEWS. It is time that we look through the lens of God's Love which is expressed most remarkably and powerfully through the Gospel, which literally means GOOD NEWS. Every disciple of Christ is called to BEAR WITNESS to the GOOD NEWS of Christ's Life, Death, Resurrection, Ascension and very PRESENCE not only seated on the throne of Heaven, but right HERE and NOW WITH us and IN us. He is the Prince of Peace. And though we know there is a future time when Christ will come and establish COMPLETE peace and restoration, we also know that He is PRESENT HERE and NOW to bring peace, as well.
So, where has God established you to stand and bear witness of His GOOD NEWS? Wherever that may be, STAND, RECEIVE His mantle of PEACE, and SEE the Salvation of the Lord as you SERVE as His Intercessory Peace Maker. For truly, God is raising up intercessory peace makers to stand in the gap between the numerous great divides within our communities and nation. He is calling forth an ARMY of INTERCESSORY PEACE MAKERS that serve as BRIDGES of PEACE. Will you answer His call?
