Communal Intercession: A Call to the Field

Think for a moment of where you live? Where were you born? Where were you raised? Where do you live now? Where has the journey taken you?

These are very important questions that make up our history...our story of life.

Life sure has been a journey...one that I'm thankful to be a part.

I grew up in Nackawic. I lived there for around 22 years. When I left there for college, I embarked a new journey. I remember the last day of college before summer break, I felt God leading me to walk on every street in Nackawic and pray. So I did. It was my summer project. I will never forget that experience.

Looking back on that experience I realize now that I was seeding into the earth Word. I was taking what I heard from the world inwhich I came from and speaking it out into the airwaves. I haven't seen the results of those prayer walks but that doesn't mean that results haven't happened.

After 1997, when I left Nackawic for good, I moved to Florenceville/Oakland. I spent a good many year there. I would go for long walks and pray. Sometimes I would feel like I was in Europe speaking to churches. Sometimes I would feel like I was talking to one person. Sometimes I would get my next course to teach. Other times I would be praying and interceding over the community.

Over a year and a half ago, I moved to Woodstock. I have found myself once again walking and praying. Alot of times it has been for certain people while other times it has been for the community as a whole.

I share all of this to say this: wherever God has placed you be open and available to pray. There is a reason as to why you live where you do. God is anointing and calling His intercessors to the field. The time has come.

I really believe we are in a time where God is birthing an ache deep within. I really sense there is a season where tears are going to be shed. There is work ahead. There is sowing in tears in order to reap in joy. Be open. Let Him lead you through your communities. Wherever God has placed you be present there. Let Him lead you in communal intercession.
