The Power Of Prophetic Acts And Intercessory Warfare
Well-known intercessor, Lou Engels, shares a word of encouragement to those called to intercession. He also talks about a media event that took place which demonstrates the power of intercession!
Excerpt:
Evidence of the power of prophetic intercession (specific intercession and actions directed by the leading of the Lord) has been shown to me numerous times. One night I was awakened by words that had been spoken to me in a dream: “Go pour the salt of your purity out on it.” I knew that the Lord’s voice had spoken these words, but I didn’t understand then what they meant.
The following morning I went to a prayer meeting, during which Kateri Matilla, an intercessor from our church, prayed that God would change the name of Devil’s Gate Dam. Suddenly, it struck me forcefully that the Lord wanted me to go pour salt into the stream at Devil’s Gate as an act of prophetic intercession!
Devil’s Gate was the name of a dam that protected the original water source for Pasadena and Los Angeles. A 1947 Star News article confirms that Devil’s Gate was so named “because of the resemblance of the rocks to His Satanic Majesty.” Several people were killed during the construction of the freeway near the dam, and numerous murders and suicides have occurred along the river, the Arroyo Seco, that flows from the dam. Intercessors in Los Angeles have sensed that the name literally brought a curse on the city.
As I recalled the words in my dream, I understood that the Lord wanted me to pour salt into the stream as a sign of cleansing, to ask for forgiveness on behalf of our forefathers for cursing the water, and to entreat God to pour out the rivers of revival on Pasadena and Los Angeles. As I contemplated God’s command, I was reminded of a Scripture the Lord had impressed upon my heart prior to coming to Pasadena.
