Happy Intercessor

Best book on intercession I have read. It cuts to the quick - the life giving joy that comes from true intimacy with the Lord. As Beni says, intercession is simply finding the heart of the Father and then coming into agreement with Him.

The Happy Intercessor is well-named. If you are an intercessor or a pray-er, this is a must to read and to give away to others. Burden bearers tend to get bogged down with the subject of the need, the pain of others, the trauma, or the prophetic word. But God's yoke is easy and His burden is light. He doesn't intend for a bunch of sour faces to be depressed or depressing anyone else. From the place of joy and victory and praise we "floop!" give the burdens over. It's not a flippant thing, it's purposeful and powerful and beautiful. Makes us hear better too. Beni's writing is full of stories - she speaks with wisdom and experience and with a refreshing measure of vulnerability.

I just get excited and joyful when i read this book. I had to purposefully put the book down so i wouldn't finish it too fast! Beni shows us that the heartbeat of heaven is Joy, and the importance of the Secret Place. Each chapter holds so much revelation and stories/testimonies of her own experiences. It makes me want to grab a group of prayer warriors and pray over different parts of the area i live in. At the same time it shows us how important it is to pray what is on God's heart, to see what's He's doing, and pray from heaven down, and not out of a place of fear or worry. God will show you strategies to pray out of a place of victory. Check out Beni's sermon in the media player of [...] where she tells a couple of the stories that are in the book. I also liked learning about the different realms/levels of heaven. never had that explained to me in detail before. alright, i don't want to spoil the whole book for you, just get if for yourself and enjoy!

this book is good. i have been able to relate clearly to the author, and glad she can put to words what my wonderings and thoughts have been. we truly need to bear burdens in better ways. and that saying by Jesus is right: his burdens are light. If God is wonderful, so should the way we be with him.
