"Fire Truck: A Wake Up Call for Intercessors"
by Helen Calder, Melbourne, Australia
From the Desk of Steve Shultz:
 Helen Calder is a new writer for the Elijah List and is from Australia. In her latest article she writes from her own journey of praying for loved ones and praying the wrong types of prayers.
This is an eye-catching and unique word about how universalism has crept into the Church as she shares:
Intercessors, the Holy Spirit is putting the call out. It is time to rise up and cry out for souls! Beware of the dangers of universalism—it is a seducing spirit that is aimed at weakening the prayer movement. It eliminates the urgency of the Gospel and contradicts the Biblical requirement to repent, turn and change one's lifestyle.
I pray Helen's short but potent article helps you to always seek the Lord in "how" we are to pray! (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)

"Fire Truck: A Wake Up Call for Intercessors"
by Helen Calder, Melbourne, Australia
On Friday, May 19th I had a prophetic dream just before waking. My husband Malcolm and I were in a parked car and perpendicular to us, on our right-hand side, was a fire truck. It was also parked, while a man I know to be a prophet-teacher-intercessor was in the driver's seat.
The fire truck drove away, and we said to each other, "Why didn't we take the opportunity to talk to him while he was here?" That morning, I shared the dream with Malcolm. I don't often have prophetic dreams and didn't understand what the fire truck symbolized, but my husband became animated when I talked about it.
Fire Truck to the Rescue—The Importance of Intercession
Malcolm told me that from a young age, whenever he saw a fire engine, he wanted to follow it, to see where the fire was—clamoring for his dad to pursue it.
Within a matter of hours we were booked to attend a conference we had not previously considered going to. Three weeks later, I was standing in the worship of "Beyond Conference" in Auckland NZ, experiencing a vision. I saw Jesus carrying a giant fire-hose, and I suddenly knew He was there to rescue me!
Truthfully, I was puzzled—I didn't know I needed rescuing. Moments later, John Arnott began to preach on the need for the Church to strengthen the foundations for the "more" that is coming. He began to speak out against permissiveness and universalism coming into the Church. As soon as he mentioned the word "universalism" I began to cry as the power and conviction of the Spirit came upon me. Because the night before, I had been crying out to God alone in my hotel room over an unsaved loved one saying, "Father, I want universalism to be true!"
I had not even been aware of how the philosophy of universalism was seducing my heart. In brief, Christian universalism is the doctrine that Jesus died on the Cross for all humanity, and therefore everyone will ultimately be saved—regardless of whether or not they choose to believe, repent and follow Jesus during their lifetime.
The message of the Gospel is good news. It is not exclusive, it is inclusive. The invitation of salvation is available to every person—but according to Scripture, it requires an RSVP.
Intercessors Arise!
Intercessors, the Holy Spirit is putting the call out. It is time to rise up and cry out for souls! Beware of the dangers of universalism—it is a seducing spirit that is aimed at weakening the prayer movement. It eliminates the urgency of the Gospel and contradicts the Biblical requirement to repent, turn and change one's lifestyle.
The greatest danger of the philosophy of universalism is that it takes away the need for urgent prayer. It is time to reawaken fervent prayer and intercession.
"I looked for someone among them who would build up the wall and stand before Me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found no one." (Ezekiel 22:30 NIV)
It's time to pray for the lost. Intercessors and prayer warriors, it's time to pick up the mantle. You will see an open Heaven—and you will see His Kingdom come. You are participating in releasing revival. (To Subscribe to the Elijah List subscribe here.)
