Will You Spare the Righteous?
Will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked?
Genesis 18:23 (NIV)
Abraham approaches God with the Bible's boldest question: will you sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Before condemned Sodom, patriarchs haggle mercy — fifty, forty-five, down to ten. Courageous intercession before righteous Judges: Abraham appeals to God's own justice. Holy boldness argues with divine character, never against it.
Intercessory rest grows from such boldness. Abraham slept peacefully after negotiating Sodom, transferring cases to just hands. Our Sodoms — cities, families, nations near judgment — beg equal courage: approaching, arguing, insisting. God invites intercessors to decision tables; approachers influence outcomes. Certain judgment never cancels valid pleas.
Approaching for your Sodom today: naming people, arguing promises, insisting humbly. Will you spare the righteous?: God loves such questions, honoring askers.
Intercessors shift celestial maps. Kneeling today, negotiating faithfully. Plead daily and boldly. Decision tables admit bold intercessors gladly. Sit today with arguments and humility. God hears approachers with reverence. Holy negotiations shift judgments. Transferred cases rest in just hands peacefully. Sleep after pleading without anxiety. Certain judgments respect valid pleas always. Knock and enter boldly today. Plead persistently daily. Heaven honors holy haggling.
And resting afterward: cases handed righteous Judges sleep peacefully.
