Few have been willing to feel it. You aree to embrace the agony—His groanings and holy tears.You didn’t understand this path, but He did.

Rees Howells calls this “the gained position of intercession.”Not gifted. Gained. Through agony.Through surrender.

Through dying a thousand silent deaths. It's not about your will — but His.

Rees says: “As crucifixion proceeds, intercession begins.” 

God buried you in someone else’s battle.You lost sleep, friends, opportunities—but gained authority in the Spirit.

Tears of agony gain for the intercessor the position of authority.

You became the burden.You carried what others mocked.

And Heaven took notice.

God seeks intercessors—but seldom finds them.

You are not overlooked.You are being formed.

This is not weakness.

This is power made perfect in surrender.

You are more than a prayer warrior—You are an intercessor.

A messenger of the Lord.

A territory-taker in the Spirit

.Every groan, every tear, every “yes” is gaining ground.

Heaven is counting on your obedience.Keep pressing.

Keep groaning.

You are shifting history.
