Sermon 2823 - Seal of Groaning, Aw-Nakh Intercession.....(Fri pm 8/07/2009)

GROWING IN THE VAW OF THE LORD’S NAME (ISAIAH 53:1-13).....(THU AM 7/30/2009)
The Hebrew word for groan, aw-nakh, means to be filled with anguish. Groaning is a depth of prayer that has to do with the depths and the heights of the LORD’s tetragrammaton, His Holy Name. There are vessels of mercy and vessels of wrath (Romans 8:22,23). The cup of Mercy is almost full, and the cup of wrath is almost full. When these two cups fill up, the cup of Mercy is going up, and the cup of wrath is going down. So the vessels of wrath’s full cup will demonstrate itself in their allegiance and service and idolatrous worship of the Antichrist.

Psalm 32:1,2 says: “Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. Blessed is the man unto whom the LORD imputeth not iniquity….” And God’s Word reveals the following seal of those who are groaning, aw-nakh, those who are filled with anguish because of the reproach that man’s iniquity, transgression, sin, and trespasses have put against the Name.

I. Israel and Jerusalem Groaned (Exodus 2:24).
II. Gentiles Groaned (Job 23:2).
III. Jesus Sighed or Groaned (Mark 8:12; John 11:33).
IV. The Whole Creation Groans (Romans 8:22).
V. The Saints Groan (Romans 8:23).
VI. The Holy Ghost Groans (Romans 8:26).

The message also encourages us to memorize and quote the Word as we are going around the foursquare (tetragrammaton) Name, LORD.
