[Sheets relates the need of prayer by
a missionary friend who’s young son was near death with a high fever. He’d
called several friends stateside to help him pray. He’d been praying for the
child, but couldn’t seem to break the spiritual attack. The Lord showed the
friend that if some strong intercessors joined him, they would be able to break
the attack.]
“We then bound the power of Satan over
this child’s life—in Christ’s name, of course, because it was His victory we
were ‘administering.’..Mike called back a few hours later and said, ‘Almost
immediately after I contacted several of you to pray with me, the fever broke
and my son began to improve. Within a few hours he was well and released from
the hospital.
Praise God! The body of Christ had
functioned as the Lord intended and Jesus was glorified…Isn’t that profound?
The Almighty administering the blessings of the covenant through us. That’s
what intercession is all about. Paga: He
‘lays on’ us someone else’s need.
Bastazo: We ‘carry away’ the weakness or burden.”
