I want to ask the Holy Spirit to give us spiritual presence, so that He can prepare our hearts for sowing with all the strength and authority of healing.<\/span>We will reflect on the Word of God in John 15: 1.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are men and women seeking to do God’s will.<\/span>For that, we need to understand what the Lord has to tell us and how He wants to lead us.<\/span> We need to be in deep communion with God;<\/span> and John tells us that this life of intimacy and prayer with Him is permanent.<\/span><\/p>\n

The principle of communion is in remaining with Jesus.<\/span> The supernatural life has to be expressive in us and, Jesus, gives us the sign of how we need to walk.<\/span> Because we will only be able to execute what God has for us when we spend time in His presence.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we look at ourselves and forget to seek this fellowship with Him, we succumb.<\/span> Without God we can do nothing!<\/span><\/p>\n

Ask for the intercession of God<\/span><\/h3>\n

Intercession is prayer for others.<\/span> We can not bear fruit by ourselves, there is a limit, so we must remain on the vine to bear fruit.<\/span> The fruits are generated when we stand beside Jesus.<\/span><\/p>\n

The fruits are produced when we live an intense search for God, because we are only the branches.<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember that act of faith when Jesus comes walking on the water?<\/span> Peter also asks to walk on the water;<\/span> and while he remains focused on the eyes of the Lord, he walks on the water.<\/span> But when he turns his gaze from the Lord’s eyes, he sinks.<\/span> So it is with us when we turn away from the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Church needs intercessors<\/span><\/h3>\n

We need to urgently raise intercessors because we need to list men and women who are willing to pay the price of intercession and always remain with the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our trust needs to be in God!<\/span> So that we may come out of ourselves and do His work.<\/span><\/p>\n

When we have communion with God, for example, it is like the communion of the mother with the child.<\/span> The mother knows exactly what the child needs.<\/span> Therefore, when we have fellowship with God, He knows what we need, because our heart is in union with Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Old Testament, in Samuel 1: 4-11, shows us that without fellowship with God there is no victory.<\/span> There is no victory without struggle and intercession, because we must be in communion with the Lord.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n.: Persevering in God’s Will<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

When we abide in God, there is victory !<\/span> The Lord sees the heart of those who have fellowship with Him. The Lord does not look at our appearance, but the heart of those who are connected with Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

God is interested in the heart that has fellowship with Him, so in the face of battle there must be intercession to achieve victory.<\/span><\/p>\n

The giants that appear before us must be fought with the intense communion of God.<\/span> It may take time, but victory is certain.<\/span> Without communion with God there is no victory!<\/span><\/p>\n

Understand what the Lord communicates to each of us;<\/span> and remain in union with Him. In this way, know who the winner will be.<\/span> The Lord, in many moments, frees us from the “giants.”<\/span> That is when we are in communion with Him.<\/span><\/p>\n

Prayer is a daily effort and a struggle with the tempter who wants to keep us from God.<\/span> The tempter always tries to divert us from communion with God, because, he knows that when we are not in prayer and union with God: we end up falling.<\/span><\/p>\n

There is nothing more powerful than men and women who pray!<\/span> St. Bernard tells us that prayer is more potent than all demons.<\/span><\/p>\n
