The Desperate Cry Out for Life
“I know that after I leave, imposters who have no loyalty to the flock
will come among you like savage wolves. Even some from among your very
own ranks will rise up, twisting the truth to seduce people into
following them instead of Jesus. So be alert and discerning. Remember
that for three years, night and day, I’ve never stopped warning each of
you, pouring out my heart to you with tears.' Acts 20:29-31 (TPT)
"How can we save the lost? Try tears." General William Booth.
"My church will never grow while my eyes are dry." Ira Stanphill.
"Let us learn to think of tears as liquid prayers, and of weeping as a constant dropping of importunate intercession which will wear its way right surely into the very heart of mercy, despite the stony difficulties which obstruct the way. My God, I will "weep" when I cannot plead, for Thou hearest the voice of my weeping." Charles H Spurgeon.
'And in a similar way, the Holy Spirit takes hold of us in our human frailty to empower us in our weakness. For example, at times we don’t even know how to pray, or know the best things to ask for. But the Holy Spirit rises up within us to super-intercede on our behalf, pleading to God with emotional sighs too deep for words.
God, the searcher of the heart, knows fully our longings, yet he also understands the desires of the Spirit, because the Holy Spirit passionately pleads before God for us, his holy ones, in perfect harmony with God’s plan and our destiny.' Romans 8:26-27 (TPT)
'I’m exhausted and worn-out with my weeping. I endure weary, sleepless nights filled with moaning, soaking my pillow with my tears. My eyes of faith won’t focus anymore, for sorrow fills my heart. There are so many enemies who come against me!' Psalm 6:6-7 (TPT)
'When Jesus looked at Mary and saw her weeping at his feet, and all her friends who were with her grieving, he shuddered with emotion and was deeply moved with tenderness and compassion.' John 11:33 (TPT)
'The fountain of your pleasure is found in the sacrifice of my shattered heart before you. You will not despise my tenderness as I humbly bow down at your feet.' Psalm 51:17 (TPT)
