Advocate

The silent prayers of benevolent God said on your behalf.  I wonder the perfect sound of Jesus and His prayers for us as He invalidates the slander of the accuser.  A voice of pure mercy, bringing to bear the undeniable truth of redemption, having paid the bailsman’s fee for all of us.  What noise would follow such eloquence, perhaps the silent contemplation following all truth.  Does the resounding thunder of God’s judgment follow denying the motion for the prosecution or is all argument abandoned once Christ speaks?  The things we cannot know in this limited life.  Oh the things we cannot know.

The accuser has no gravitas in heavens court, no where to stand at its gates, no voice within its worshiping throng.  Appearances reveal that his only authority remains on earth, though even that has been stripped long ago.  To what illusion due we owe allegiance, that God’s Word would be superseded, replaced by the musings of created beings?  Lord, let me utter not even one word of folly, misdirection or falsehood.  I will not aid or abed the plans and machinations of your enemies by supporting their misgivings and false teaching.  I will not follow those determined to enter the longevity of death and isolation.  An isolation with constant reminder, pain and suffering as they yearn to be back in Your presence.  That shall not be my guidon, I shall follow the light of the Word up the narrow path with sure footing.

You are my hope Lord and this life only a temporary learning opportunity where soon I will be forgotten or perhaps remembered fondly.  Let me lead many to the cross where they may ask their heart’s questions and be answered by the Spirit through salvation.  Give me what I do not have, the ability to be effective for Your Glory.  In Christ’s name I pray, Jesus the name above all others.
