It’s tempting to begin with God as Creator, but the first sentence of the Bible reveals a preexisting condition. God is uncreated. Everything God reveals about himself throughout Scripture has always existed. He is perfect, whole, complete—he cannot be divided.

I’ve recently read and meditated on John 11, the death and resurrection of Lazarus. As I did, there were some stirrings in my heart about intercession. I know there is so much more to this passage than the following thoughts. But if you will allow me, I’d like to share 7 threads of intercession I believe the Lord highlighted as I read–each one an invitation to more his heart.

Signs and wonders mutate into idols when they lose the Spirit of Life—when they no longer point to Christ. We can take a sign that God initially uses to build our faith and create something more out of it. In my experience, we start looking for the sign instead of listening for voice of God. That’s how a sign or wonder turns into an idol.

Have you ever taken a first step toward something and then a flood of second guessing hits you in the face? In realizing it’s scarier and bigger than you thought, did you want to run back to safety? The picture that comes to mind is a diving platform. It’s one thing to climb the stairs, and it’s another to walk to the edge. But jumping off is a different thing altogether. All you want to do is run back to the safety of the ground, but you’re frozen on the edge or in the middle. While I’ve been out on a limb pressing on to know the Lord, I’ve second guessed my surroundings and have desperately wanted to be back in familiar places. I’ve wanted to retreat to ways I’ve heard the Lord in past seasons (familiar places), forgetting the promise of the pursuit—to know the Lord.
