Intercessory Prayers Pre-Session: Double Anointing

This series on intercessory prayers is based off my handwritten notes, which I took as I attended a church conference on this topic in Aug 2024.

Introduction:

God’s original plan:

God’s original plan was for everyone to come face-to-face with Him, as a priest
We see that, when God brought them out of Egypt (Exo 19:5-6)
Priesthood (prayer): People coming to the presence of God
But since Plan A didn’t work, God moved to Plan B: Aaronnic priests representing people, in intercession and personal contact with God hearing from Him
Prayer is intercession, intimacy with God
Kingship is the outflow, of what happens in the prayer room

Restoration of God’s original plan:

But in the New Testament: Jesus came, died, rose, and we are back at the original plan of God (1 Pet 2:9-12)
In addition, God added kingship as well, this enables us to flow with signs, anointing, preaching, crusades (please refer to Prophetic Part 5: Learning to be Led by the Holy Spirit article)
Joel 2:15-17: Everybody is called old and young, rich and poor, not just a selected group, to come before the Lord (please refer to Joel 2:31 article)
v17: Weep (Hebrew: Bakah): Has 2 opposing meanings
One side: Strong prayer, decree warfare
Other side: Cry, weep, silence
When we flow in the Holy Spirit with prayer, we will be led in either direction (of weeping)

Porch and the Altar:

Joel 2:17: Weep between the porch and the altar
Firstly, God answers not whether we are rich or poor, smart or not, but He looks at our heart
The altar is a place and position of prayer and worship, where we hear God (Luke 1:8-21)
Zechariah received a promise at the altar, and came out of the temple dumb, unable to speak
And the porch is the place of outflow, where power, signs and miracles happen

Areas impacted when we spend more time praying at altar:

Worshipper:

John 4:23-24: Worship is not necessarily singing, but the expression of your Spirit
Let’s give ourselves more at the prayer place, don’t have to be for hours, just 3-5 mins of undivided attention to God is also good for a start
Like how Jesus went to a quiet place every morning to pray

Humility:

We know we are weak, before God, let’s demolish our pride, and seek God’s help in prayer (2 Chron 7:14, James 4:6-7)
But His mercies and grace, are new every morning

Brokenness:

Psa 51:17: We can give ourselves to God, and He can move our heart, because we are flexible
For instance, if He wants us to pray for this country or something else, we flow with the Holy Spirit
And we let God shape our prayer list, however He wants

Proclaiming God’s word:

Not just reading God’s word, but praying and working with it, God uses word we say to action on things (John 15:7-9, Isa 57:19)
That His word will never come back empty / void (Isa 55:11)

Authority:

Does not mean speaking loudly, for instance screaming: “Jesus please heal him / her!”
Someone with authority can just speak one word, and everything change
God has given us authority to resist / trample on the devil, it’s something we have to do on our own (James 4:7, Luke 10:19)
This is based on the power of God’s word, His blood in us

Conclusion:

A kingly anointing (porch) is the outflow of the priestly anointing (altar / prayers)
Speaker spends more time praying, than on pulpit, and makes no negotiation / procrastination when it comes to prayer
And this results in her powerful healing ministries, which is the outflow of many hours of praying early in the morning
Prayer can move mountains, but combined prayer moves nations
We have the greatest intercessors: Holy Spirit, inside of us
He will teach us how to pray
