THE COMPOUNDING EFFECT OF INTERCESSION
I had a vision the other day, and it completely shifted everything I thought about long suffering in prayer.
Leading up to this point, I had been wrestling with apathy towards this intercessory burden I had been carrying for years and heard an accusatory voice whispering to me,
“you don’t have to care so much. You don’t have to pray that much for them, you’re not really making a difference anyway.”
It was an apathetic voice of accusation trying to bait me out of love.
Because the enemy of love is not hate, it’s indifference.
One morning while in collective prayer with a few others, I was taken into this vision of one person I had been interceding over for several years. They were standing in between two mirrors facing each other. As they stood straight ahead facing one mirror all I could see was their single reflection staring back. Suddenly, they shifted their position ever so slightly and “turned” toward me.
What I saw next opened up a powerful revelation about prayer.
I saw an infinite reflection of people that were positioned behind the one person that I had been praying for, and the ripple effects of what happens in the Spirit when we pray for one person consistently over time.
Intercession for the one was actually unlocking breakthrough in all of these people that stood behind this person; all of the relationships, families and bloodlines that touched them through time and the weaving together of their destinies in Christ.
And The Lord said,
“That is the compounding effect of intercession. This is how I am building up My Body. Do not diminish the power in stopping for the one. Do not forsake the ministry of loving one. There is compounding interest building up in the Spirit that will be immeasurable to the human eye. All it takes is the turning of one to unlock generations and whole regions to the uniting and healing work of Love I am doing in this hour.”
Do not grow weary.
Pray one more time.
Go for one more.
We are on the cusp of explosive breakthrough.
