Promise 76 from Exodus 32:11a,14
Ex. 32:11a, 14 - "Then Moses entreated the Lord his God, .... So the Lord changed His mind about the harm which He said He would do to His people." - Moses prayed that God would change His mind from what He planned to do to His people and He did. God is a jealous God and it broke His heart when His people turned away from Him. He was going to strike them all down, then start with a fresh batch of people for which to fulfill His promise to Moses. But Moses pleaded on their behalf, and God changed His mind. This verse shows us the impact of intercession when we are in right relationship with the Lord. At that moment the people didn't know that Moses was praying for them, so they themselves didn't change, therefore their actions did not sway God's decision. I believe it was the loving relationship between Moses and God that was the deciding factor for the Lord. God listens to those who love Him and He answers their prayers.
