SHE-BEAR MEETINGS: Prayer Note # 24

   
Dutch Sheets tells us, “Let’s progress in our thinking to the breaking aspect of intercession meetings—enforcing the victory of Calvary.

I call this ‘the bear anointing’ because of Proverbs 17:12: "Let a man meet a bear robbed of her cubs, rather than a fool in his folly."…

I’m not insinuating that that this verse is talking about prayer.

I am saying, however, that the word for "meet" is our Hebrew word translated ‘intercession.’ Paga.

Meetings can be unpleasant!

Some can be down right ugly! Such as the one Satan had with Jesus at Calvary when Christ interceded for us.

Satan had come between God and His ‘cubs.’…

Don’t tell me God doesn’t have a flare for the dramatic.

The Cross defines drama….captives were rescued, bruises were inflicted, keys were exchange, authority was transferred.

1 John 3:8 KJV adds insight to what happened at the Cross.

The verse reads, "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil."

Destroy is the Greek word, luo, which has both a legal and physical meaning…

The legal meaning of luo is (1) to pronounce or determine that something or someone is no longer bound; (2) to dissolve or void a contract or anything that legally binds…He ‘voided the contract,’ breaking {Satan’s} dominion over us.

He also made certain the literal consequences of that deliverance were manifested: He brought healing, set captives free, lifted oppression and liberated those under demonic control.”

Prayer Note # 24 SHE-BEAR MEETINGS - Taken from Dutch Sheets’ book, Intercessory Prayer (pgs. 54-56 )

“This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed: by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again.

Anyone who trusts in him is acquitted; anyone who refuses to trust him has long since been under the death sentence without knowing it. And why? Because of that person’s failure to believe in the one-of-a-kind Son of God when introduced to him.” John 3:16- 18 MSG
