Wow, so I've been reading this book given to me on loan by my friend Benjamin who started CDO Cuernavaca but that's another amazing story. Well the book is called, "Bridal Intercession: Authority in Prayer through intimacy with Jesus." I must admit that I'm not one to read a christian book, but this is powerful. Every chapter the Lord has spoken to me in such a profound way. If you're wondering more about the book, the back says:
Bridal Intercession is a book for such times as this, approaching the topic of intercessory prayer from the perspective of the Church's place as the Bride of Christ. Rather than seeing prayer as an issue-oriented, anxiety-based exercise that produces fatigue, Gary Wiens presents prayer as joyful and romantic communion between the Lover and His Beloved. The approach is thoroughly biblical, utilizing the stories of God's relationship with His people as the foundation for the contemporary call to intercessory prayer.
Can I say WOW!!! I have been hit so hard with what I have been learning in this book, and I know it is the Lord because at the same time things are occurring in my life to help me understand what is being said in the book better before I even begin to read the chapter that usually corresponds. For example I was dealing with anxiety about somethings today and I begin to read the chapter titled "The Authority of Intimacy", and the author uses the story of Ester and the King to express his point. Can I say that this went straight to my heart and the situation I was dealing with and for the next hour or so I basically wept before the Lord, weeping of hurt and weeping of praise. All I can say is the Lord has been so amazing and faithful and there is none like him. Thanks and Praise be to God because seriously with out him who knows where I would be. The best thing about it is that I don't have to worry because he loves me, I am his daughter and he finds me precious, I can go before the king, just like Esther. I know my life and heart are in his hands and I trust that he will do what is best for me, and will keep me even though I may not know how.
So yea, I guess this isn't really an update, just an opportunity to say how awesome God has been and how grateful I am for his relationship. I wish you all the best, and I recommend this book, but only in the Lord's timing of course. Love you all.
