While mortal intercessors are sleeping, God is watching over all His people. Our divine, high-priestly Intercessor Yeshua (Jesus) does not sleep. He is incessantly interceding for members of His Body on earth, those whom the Father gave to Him – those whom He promised never to “lose”. (Hebrews 7:25, John 6:39, John 10:28, John 18:9)

However, sometimes He decides it’s time for a human intercessor to be awakened to pray or follow His lead in some other way. So yesterday at 3:30 AM the Holy Spirit (the Spirit of Yeshua) woke me up abruptly by showing me in a dream that if the devil had his way my eldest grandson would die in short order. I got out of bed, went into the living room, got two knee cushions and knelt down to join Yeshua in intercession. Because this grandson’s life has been under threat for years, and we have therefore been interceding for him for years, I felt at a loss for new words to use or new directions to take in prayer. I didn’t know how exactly to pray, so I just began to pray for him in tongues. After praying in tongues for a while, the Holy Spirit led me to just pray, declare and decree in Yeshua’s Name that God’s will would prevail “TODAY” in the lives of him and his mother (my eldest daughter). So I concluded with that simple prayer – essentially “Thy will be done, this day, in their lives!” Before going to work, I contacted my daughter, told her of the prayer prompt, and asked if all was well. She said it was.

Last night just before 9 PM, she contacted us again because a harrowing event had just occurred. The devil had tried his thing- tried to kill the child and almost succeeded. But, as Jamaicans say, “Nearly nevah kill bird!” So satan’s murder attempt had failed, God’s saving will had prevailed, my grandson’s life was preserved, and my daughter was victorious in her emergency response. All had ended well, only because the Lord, who watches over us, does not sleep.
