"Intercessory Prayer" [Reflections On Book Powerlines by Leona Frances Choy - Chapter 23 - T.A.Torrey, #11/25]
The power’s for the service which God would have us do;
It’s not so much the pleasure outpouring unto you,
So ask God what’s the service that He has on His mind;
Be open to the Spirit He gives that you might find –The task in Him accomplished before you e’er begin;
Prayer that is interceding – a whole new life in Him –
Sets off a chain reaction, addressing what we say
Is on our hearts, believing He works with us His way.So power is for His service, whatever term we use;
The Holy Spirit’s working, in Him we cannot lose,
For minds of King He’s bending like river in its banks
We enter in that service, and end up giving thanks.The gifts He gives His children are for their given task;
Don’t ask for gifts – assignments he has for us at last;
The gifts He grows us into at times give us a clue
Of work He is preparing for us in end to do.Thanks Lord for this.
