THE POWER OF INTERCESSION

John 17:1
These words spoke JESUS, and lifted up His eyes to heaven, and said, "Father, the hour is come; glorify Thy Son, that Thy Son also may glorify Thee".
This is the prayer of JESUS as He gives the "ok" for the time of His passion and the redemption of humankind. Yes, GOD the Father always responds to the desire and permission of JESUS, just like GOD responded to the permission of Mary to conceive JESUS. GOD will never violate the will of the anointed One, who is GOD incarnate.  JESUS released His life to the Father, so that humankind could be saved through Him.

Intercession is "standing between" or standing in the gap for others. It is also, standing with another in their circumstances. Most powerful of all, it is standing with JESUS as He brings others, those whom He loves, to the Father. We become the prayer-partners of JESUS; our great High Priest, Who is forever making intercession for us.

Read John 17 and see how JESUS prays for others in intercession.  This is really the LORD'S Prayer to the Father and is a perfect model for us to pray in agreement with Him. We intercede with JESUS to bring glory to the Name of JESUS who glorifies the Father.  The power of the whole Trinity is with us as we intercede for the needs of others.

PLEASE INTERCEDE FOR THE PEOPLE OF MOORE, OKLAHOMA. PRAY FOR ALL PEOPLE, EVERYWHERE, WHO ARE IN MORTAL DANGER.
