God is releasing a new breed of travailing prophets in the earth right now who have been convinced that their greatest privilege in life is to make intercession to the Lord of Hosts. These burning ones are being forged in the context of night and day prayer. They are more devoted to the secret place than the public place.
These travailing prophets are more familiar with a prayer room than a playroom called a stage. These men and women would rather minister to an audience of One than an audience of hundreds or even thousands. They crave the attention of the throne room more than the praise afforded to them on a platform and is the very generation Jeremiah spoke of in Jeremiah 27:18 when he said, “But if they are true prophets and if the word of the Lord is really spoken by them, let them now make intercession to the LORD of hosts…”
There are prophetic voices that carry the word of the Lord, and then there are prophetic voices that carry “the burden” of the word of the Lord. These travailing prophets are actually going to live in a place inside the Father's heart called, "the birthing room".
Travail will be their bread and water during the day and the groans of the Father’s heart will be what keeps them up at night. They will enter into cities and regions carrying aspects of God’s character and nature that are simply not available to others that have not made the secret place a priority.
Travailing prophets understand that cities and regions can be won in travail and intercession down on their knees before they even arrive and prophesy on their feet! Intense seasons of prayer and fasting will precede the arrival of these messengers. They will carry the fresh fire and word of the Lord wherever they go because they have spent time gazing upon the throne room and receiving the Father’s desires in intercession. They will not prophesy from mere impressions, but from being impregnated with the very mind and heart of God.
Perhaps the greatest reward of these travailing prophetic voices of intercession will be an accurate assessment of the Father’s heart that they will gain through wrestling with Him through prayer and fasting. These messengers understand that it is not enough to deliver the word of the Lord, but rather delivering the word with the Father’s heart is what is most needed in this hour.
