Because of the Cries
In the gospel of Luke, there are two folks who are shown the infant Jesus when Joseph and Mary brought him there. Simeon had the Holy Spirit (he must have been a prophet under Old Testament parameters) and was told he would not die until he saw the Lord’s Christ (Luke 2:26). Anna worshipped the Lord and prayed day and night in the temple. She was shown the infant and she went about and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem. (Luke 2:38)
I believe the timing of the coming of Jesus was predicated on the intercessions of Anna, Simeon and others. I say this because of what we find in Exodus.
The LORD said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians. . .” – Exodus 3: 7-8
The Lord acts because of the cries of His people. God can do whatever He pleases but He chooses to act through us in partnership. God wants to partner with us to bring about great salvation and deliverance with many on this mountain at this time.
I want us to partner in faith for the good of many on this mountain at this time. What a wonderful Christmas it will be for many! Alleluia!
