“Throughout the Bible, God’s heart to champion those who cannot help themselves is shown consistently, again and again. They may be people in poverty; those who are widowed; children or orphaned children; people battling illness or disability; those who’ve been trafficked or abused; or anyone else marginalized, wounded or depressed. As Believers, we carry the heart of our Father, and as He moves us, it is our responsibility and privilege to fill that gap for them.
“God is raising up those who will answer His call to advocate for those who cannot stand for themselves. If you are a parent, this role may feel more natural to you, but all Believers can advocate for someone else. See if God has already placed one of these groups of people on your heart. Do you have a connection to access them? If not, pray about what God wants you to do and ask Him to open a door for you.
“Proverbs 31:8-9 (TPT) says, “But you are to be a king who speaks up on behalf of the disenfranchised and pleads for the legal rights of the defenseless and those who are dying. Be a righteous king, judging on behalf of the poor and interceding for those most in need.”
“God is raising up warriors to fight for those who cannot fight for themselves. He is releasing strategy to Believers so that His Body may meet the needs of those in need. He is quickening connections and highlighting ministries that are aligned with different groups of people.
“This word is for you if you’ve been burdened by a certain group in need but have yet to step out and help them. Your heart may have been stirred recently by a story you heard or an account of a friend who stepped in the gap to advocate for someone who couldn’t fight for themselves. Listen to what the Holy Spirit is speaking to you. Pay attention to the group of people or the specific people He is highlighting to you, and what He’s telling you to do. It might be as practical as taking your neighbor to a doctor’s appointment or buying groceries for someone. Or it could mean serving an orphanage or an inner healing ministry.
“We all can help someone, so if you don’t know who that is for you, ask the Holy Spirit to show you. Who can you intercede for? Take time to intercede for them!” – Anne Ballard
