Song Of Intercession Intro

It's so important that we surrender
 'Cause there are things on the heart of the Father
 That we can't even know until we posture ourselves
 To surrender to what He wants
 We've been deceived by the enemy
 In the area of prayer
 Because, specifically, I know this will go around the world
 But specifically in America
 The most financially prosperous nation on the earth
 The enemy has deceived many parts of the church
 By convincing us to continue to pray for our own needs
 When we have everything we could possibly ever imagine
 If we were to heed the words of Jesus, he said
 "Take no thought of what you will eat
 Or what you will drink, or what you will wear
 For your Father knows that you have needed these things before you ask"
 It goes on later to say
 "Consider the lilies of the field, they neither toil nor spin
 Yet Solomon, the richest man that ever lived
 In all of his glory, was never arrayed like one of these
 God knows what we have need of"
 I wanna invite us to a new posture and understanding in prayer
 Don't spend your faith on yourself
 That's lower-level prayer
 How can we ever apprehend the heart of the Father for the nations
 If we keep worrying about if He'll pay our bills next month?
 The nations are desperately in need of a church who will arise in power
 And intercede on their behalf
 That the Lord of Glory would intervene in the affairs of the earth
 I just wonder if in this moment
 There are some people who say, "Okay, I get it"
 Maybe some of you for the first time
 Posture yourself in the position in prayer
 To apprehend God in a way that says
 "Lord, this prayer, this cry
 Is not about me, is not about my needs
 Is not about my desires
 It's about what You want
 It's about interceding for the nations"
 Is there anyone in this room tonight
 Who have enough faith to know that
 Every one of your needs is taken care of?
 It's time for us to intercede on behalf of the nations
 It's time for us to intercede on behalf of the nations
