Gift of Intercession & Codependency

Praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints. Ephesians 6:18

I have heard it and believe it to be true…..”The enemy likes to pervert what God creates” Take for example, sex; God created it for marriage and in its purest form, it is a blessing; however, taken outside of marriage, it can bring on curses and consequences that the enemy would like to hide from us.

Well, I feel like God has revealed that our giftings can operate very much the same way. What God meant for good, the enemy perverts. I personally have always struggled with anxiety and codependency issues. I have come a long way in both of these areas; however, I still have tendencies toward both strongholds. But, I feel the Lord is revealing that through my anxiety and codependency is my opportunity to intercede on behalf of the people I am seeking to change or control. (root of codependency) and the things I get anxious about are also my opportunity for prayer. I am realizing that when the strongholds are heightened, it’s more than likely because I have taken back the wheel of control and not turned it over to the Lord. (The one with the real power to control or change things).

The times when I have turned my anxiety and codependent moments into times of interceding prayer, that’s when real change can take place….because I am putting my trust in “the one” that can make things happen and that is the only responsibility I have….to intercede and trust.
