My Tears
Psalm 56:8, Exodus 2:23, Exodus 3:7-10, Psalm 34:17, John 11:35, Heb. 5:7, Jeremiah 17:9, Mark 7:21-22, Psalm 30:5, 1 Samuel 1:5-20, John 11:1–45, Matthew 26:36-39, Romans 8:26-27, Galatians 4:19
Men and brethren, when a mother weep in prayers for a wayward son, it touches the heart of God. When a father cries to God for His fallen children, it moves heaven to earth. When young people are broken over their schoolmates’ salvation, the Spirit of God is released from heaven to capture that school for Christ. God holds dear to His heart the tears of His children. The Bible says, “Thou hast taken account of my wanderings; put my tears in Thy bottle; are {they} not in Thy book?” (Psalm 56:8). God has a bottle where He stores our tears; a book where He records our heartaches. As we weep for those who are without Christ or over those who have tormented us so long, we must never forget that God has not forgotten. One day, in His time, He will open the heavens and pour out a blessing upon us that’s beyond imagination.
God’s ears never miss the tears of the righteous (Psalm 34:17), even the faintest of cries are heard by this awesomely awesome God. The Bible says in Genesis 4:10 that Abel’s blood cried out to God from the ground because his brother, Cain, murdered him. God heard the cry of the innocent. This God will hear your cry from those that have tormented you. The children of Israel were tormented by their taskmaster and God sent a deliverer. Exodus 2:23, Exodus 3:7-10, I see God sending you a destiny helper, a deliverer when you don’t expect it.
Friends, to pray with tears is to make an eternal investment. To pray with tears is to sow your tears with eternal harvest. No tear shed in burdened intercession for others is ever forgotten by God, unrecorded, or in vain. Therefore, intercession watered with your tears is one of the most powerful forms of prayer known. Let me explain further that tears are precious in the sight of God when they are tears of longing, shed in intercession (Job 30:25), or tears of joy as you praise God for answered prayer. The Son of God knows what it means to weep in prayer. The shortest verse in the Bible, “Jesus wept” (John 11:35), not only speaks volumes about the love and compassion of Jesus; it also explains the relation of tears to the intercession of Jesus. He who weeps with us wept for us as He wrestled with the powers of darkness in the Garden (Hebrews 5:7).
Right where you are, the anointing of God! If money could buy it, some of you would sell your house to get it, but you can’t get it with money. And you can’t get it at the university. The church is trying to marry Christianity to prosperity, and popularity, and personalities. And it isn’t working because we are missing what is important to God. His heart! The scripture says “The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” Jeremiah 17:9. Jesus said “For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed the evil thoughts, fornications, thefts, murders, adulteries, deeds of coveting and wickedness, as well as deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride and foolishness..” Mark 7:21-22. A man with such products from the heart will find it difficult to come into the presence of God and offer tears that will touch the heart of God. The church of today needs a heaven born, earth shaking, hell-terrifying revival born from the heart. Let us make very clear that we are not talking about tears of self-pity. Such tears can be basically carnal! They may give relief from tension, for “a good cry” often helps the mood of a discouraged or depressed person. But recurring tears of self-pity give no testimony to spiritual depth or power. We are here discussing the power of tears resulting from deep spiritual desire- That is weeping your prayers to God.
