In ‘Til Heaven
Invades Earth, Cindy Trimm has written this book to guide readers into
praying and interceding on the behalf of others. Throughout the book, she
explored the way Esther displayed incredible faith and courage in facing King,
Ahasuerus. Before she enter his presence, she fasted for three days and she
prayed for strength and favor. There was a really danger in entering the king’s
presence uninvited. He could decide to eliminate the person or he could permit
their passage. He granted her favor and he met with his bride. Esther explained
the terrible genocide that was planned for the Jews. Cindy Trimm used Esther as
her example in understanding intercessory. Like most of us, we have noticed
that the world is in troubling times, but how often are we really praying for
the issues that are bothering us on a global view. Cindy Trimm identified that
it’s time for the prayer warriors to arise and to be dynamic and forceful in
our prayers, and to pray for the needs and burdens of the world.
Cindy Trimm goes into great detail on putting on the full
armor of God found in Ephesians 6:10-18. She also reminded readers that Jesus
himself practiced intercession and we’re commanded to follow in Christ’s
example. She revealed the three different works of grace. The new one that I
learnt was the grace in pursuing the plans and works, God has preordained for
us uniquely to complete for His kingdom. Following God’s will for our lives
begins in praying regularly and asking for His wisdom and strength daily. The
book also covered the judiciary of Heaven and what to pray in intercession
prayers.
One of my favorite quotes was, “Things are the way they
are because no one is standing before the throne of heaven to ask that it be
otherwise” (Page xvi).
I would recommend this magnificent book on intercession and
praying for other people needs and the world issues at large. I immensely love
how Cindy Trimm crafted the book and encouraged believers to pray for our president,
Senate, Congress, world leaders, and their spouses. I like how she included the
crucial importance of praying for worldwide issues like human trafficking,
hunger, child abuse, religious persecution, etc. This book made me realize that
the majority of us pray during election year, then after they are in office we
tend to quit praying for them. Now more than ever, believers must began to pray
that our nations will turn back to God, and repent for our sins, and declare
that we will serve the Kingdom of God! I enjoyed her helpful suggest in writing
down a prayer list on paper, notecard, or smartphone in order to make it easier
to pray during your prayer times. I loved the “Appendix B: An Example of a
Prayer Guide for Praying the Disciple’s Prayer” section, because it served its
purpose as being an effective resource in emphasizing to readers on how to intercede
on behalf of our world leaders. If you’re seeking a life changing, powerful book
on intercession and praying over world leaders and issues concerning the world,
then read this book!
