Manual for Intercessors - Umberto Saba - Bog

History is not history if it does not repeat itself in cycles. History indicates over and over again that in times of affluence, security and peace the people turn away from God and disobey His laws. He then sends many servants to warn, and even threaten, the rebels, but usually to no avail. They become stubborn and refuse to turn back. Yet for that refusal His holy nature demands death, unless unselfish people stand in the gap between a holy God and the laughing fools. If no one does, judgement inexorably follows: God raises ruthless people to carry out His verdict of destruction and death. Endless mercy without judgement becomes foolishness, and God is not a fool. We are living in such times of rebellion, and if an army of committed intercessors does not rise right now, history will repeat itself with all its horrors and scenes of death. However, it is sad to note that, as Georg Hegel wrote, "History constantly proves that man learns nothing from history". But for those who are willing to learn from it, I have prepared a manual that teaches all they need to know about intercession, so that they may avert the coming disaster by prayer and fasting. Though the task may seem impossible, we are dealing with a God for whom nothing is impossible. He responds to the prayer of those who are willing to pay any price to rescue the rebels from their foolishness. He will convict them of sin and will remove from them the heart of stone. Both history and the Bible also prove that those who refuse to pray for them, will be overcome by the judgement that is looming closer and closer. Those who have understanding will perceive this truth, but those who don't will remain blind till death wipes them out. You are now choosing between life and death.
