The Place of Intercessory

"In accordance with your great love, forgive the sin of these people, just as you have pardoned them from the time they left Egypt until now." (Numbers 14:19)

"Your piety is worthless unless it leads you to wish that the same mercy which has been extended to you may bless the whole world." (C. H. Spurgeon)

May my selfishness be evaporated in the light of Your eternal glory.

Your blood has blotted out my sins.

"i am" is prostrate before You, O' Lord my God, confessing my selfishness, pride, idolatry and so much more that "i am" has done and forgotten.

I bow my spirit before You and look only to the One who taketh away all my sins, Jesus, the Christ, the crucified, the risen Lamb of God . . . and in this lowly place is when "i am" is enriched.

Your grace is sufficient . . . (2 Corinthians 12:9). It is here that "i am" brings petitions for the whole earth to be filled with Your glory.

Praise be to his glorious name forever; may the whole earth be filled with his glory. Amen and Amen. (Psalm 72:19)

. . . it is here where intercessory is effective upon Omnipotent One who is longsuffering and the One that invites the sinner to come and reason together . . . "Come now, let us reason together," says the LORD. "Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool." (Isaiah 1:18)

Him on high and "i am" face down . . . this is the place of intercessory.

In Christ's love,
Chappy Dave


As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, O God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?
My tears have been my food day and night,
while men say to me all day long,
"Where is your God?"
These things I remember
as I pour out my soul:
how I used to go with the multitude,
leading the procession to the house of God,
with shouts of joy and thanksgiving
among the festive throng (Psalm 42:1-4)
