π΄Man isnβt helpless and hopeless today; he isnβt without an intercessor.
π₯Weβre the ones called to intercede and see to it that Godβs purpose, His perfect will is fulfilled in the earth and in the lives of men.
π₯He gave us the power, the ability, and the responsibility.
πJob 9:33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
β The verse above shows that there was a day and time that man needed a βdaysman,β a mediator, and there wasnβt any.
β Job needed one and there was none.
β It reminds also of the words of Eli to his sons, in berating them for their atrocious acts. He said, βWhen you sin against a man, any man can come and intercede for you. But when you sin against God, whoβll entreat for you?β (Read 1 Samuel 2:25).
β But thank God Jesus came! Isaiah 59:16 says, βAnd he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him.β
β God saw that there was no man, there was no intercessor, and sent the Lord Jesus, who today has sent us as the Father had sent Him (John 20:21).
π΄Man isnβt helpless and hopeless today; he isnβt without an intercessor.
π΄Weβre the ones called to intercede and see to it that Godβs purpose, His perfect will is fulfilled in the earth and in the lives of men. He gave us the power, the ability, and the responsibility.
π΄Paul, writing to Timothy in 1 Timothy 2:1 said, βI exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men.β
π΄Also, in Ephesians 6:18, he declared, βPraying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints.β
π΄As we pray in intercession, the Holy Spirit takes hold together with us against the forces of darkness, to obtain that which belongs to us, and to establish the righteousness of God in every place.
π΄We carry out this ministry through, and by the Spirit.
π΄When we take our place of intercession, the Lord says weβll lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty (1 Timothy 2:2); our societies will be established in righteousness. Intercession is always on behalf of others; youβre concentrating the influence of Godβs power toward others for their good; and that requires some persistence in prayer.
π΄Imagine that someone has been sick for a long time with cancer or some deadly infirmity; he may not be able to appropriate the blessings of Christ about healing and health for himself. However, through your intercession, he can receive a miracle, as you take his place in prayer and rebuke the adversary...... click on the link below to study the message: How to grow that business with more grace.
