Are You Intercession or are You a Scapegoat?

A warning to they who are called as deliverers:

Gal 5:1 Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.
2Pe 2:20 For if after they have escaped the pollutions of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end is worse with them than the beginning.

A priest is an intercessor. A Priest's work is to go between God and man, and make a path for their connection and coming together. A Scapegoat is one who takes the Godless failure of others upon them selves, and removes it from their lives. A scapegoat actually takes the blame of others in their sin, unto them self.

We are never called in the scripture to be a scapegoat.

Jesus took the sins of others on Himself. We identify with that role, but he alone was able to carry the sin. Yet it killed him. He was the Scapegoat.

As an intercessor you carry the sin of this nation, this world unto the Father. We confess the sin as ours in agreement with Jah, and He forgives the sin. Because you are in relationship to Him, He grants you the favor of hearing your prayers and answering.

Kingdom Prophet, prayers are not merely said. They are made of the substance of your lives. As an intercessor what you carry of others is important to our Lord. He did not call you to become sin. He called you to pray for the sinner. He called you to love the sinner. YOu become your prayer for them.

Yet, Love will not do evil. It is evil to placate sinners. They must stand before God. We carry thier sin to our Lord, we do not become it.

If you act as a scapegoat, you make it OK for them to continue on in their path as you relieve thier guilt without thier being committed to change. They must see their sin, and repent. You repent for them as a spiritual priest, just as did Daniel. But you do not let that sin rule in your life. Their sin is not to be carried by you into the wilderness. You only carry it to Jesus. Jesus was the only one who could atone for sin. You give their sin, to Him. He can handle it.

It takes courage to rise up and stand against others, and tell them you cannot travel a wrong path. But do it. And stand. Do not become entangled in their worldly affairs. Entanglement is a call to death for the spiritual.

Jah is watching over you. Fear not. What you give up to Jah, in people, and money, he will return in multiples. 30, 60, and yes even 100 fold.
