Desperate Intercession

Esther 3-8; Luke 18

“’And will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to him day and night? Will he keep putting them off? I tell you, he will see that they get justice, and quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?’”

Luke 18:7, 8

“In every province to which the edict and order of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing. Many lay in sackcloth and ashes.”

Esther 4:3

The edict of the Persian king to annihilate all Jews was met with mourning and desperate intercession before God. 

Has any circumstance in our lives, families, or society moved us to desperate intercession?

Jesus promised that God’s heart, even more so than the unjust judge, is moved by our desperate intercession.

Will we, too, humble ourselves before God and cry out to him for our spiritual freedom and the deliverance of our families and our nations?

This desperate intercession comes from a place of faith that God is who he says he is and that justice is the foundation of his throne. However, will God find faith in our lives, the kind of faith that seeks his face as the ultimate answer to our needs?

“Lord Jesus, thank you for access to the throne of God and your call to desperate intercession, for your glory.”
