December 29, 2019: SOAP #3678:  Revelation 10-14

Scripture:  Revelation (NIV) 12:10 Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say: “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
Romans (NIV) 8:34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.

Observation:  What a difference between the activity of Jesus and Satan.  One intercedes for me; the other condemns me.  One reminds the Father of His sacrifice for me; the other reminds the Father of my failures.  One points his finger at me; One raises nail-scarred hands.

Application:  When I come in prayer before God’s throne, do my prayers sound like Jesus or Satan?   Does the Father hear condemnation and a list of failures when I pray for others?   Or does the Father hear loving and heart-felt intercession as I lift others in prayer?

Prayer:  Jesus, I want to pray in agreement with you.  Holy Spirit, check me when I get out of line.  Help me to pray prayers like Jesus prays. When the Father hears my prayers, may He think Jesus is praying.  Amen
