James 5: 14-16
Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Name of the LORD; and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the LORD shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Intercession is powerful. Why is this so? It is true, because we are interceding with JESUS and His Holy SPIRIT. There are 3 who intercede for the needs of the world. 1. JESUS, Romans 8:34; 2. The Holy Spirit, Romans 8: 26 and 3. the Church, 1 Timothy 2:1. When the intercession is in one accord and according to the will of GOD - found in His Word - then it will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man that avails much, is prayer in unity with JESUS and His Holy Spirit. This unity can not be stopped by any force and, as the Prayer JESUS taught us states, what is done in heaven will be done on earth. It can not be otherwise. When JESUS prays, it is in accordance with the Father's will; when the HOLY SPIRIT prays, it is in accordance with the Father's will and JESUS will; when the Church prays in agreement with JESUS and the HOLY SPIRIT, then the will of the Father GOD will be manifest.
I said in yesterday's devotion, that we should pray for our Nation and people. This is how we must pray: "Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven..."
Pray, repent, intercede according to the will of the Father for the Nations and the world.
