POWER OF INTERCESSION

Tuesday, August 2, 2011
Romans 8:34
Who is he that condemneth? Shall Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of GOD, who maketh intercession for us?

JESUS is the number 1 intercessor

JESUS sits at the right hand of the Father making intercession for us; He stands in the gap for His beloved ones. JESUS is our advocate ( 1 John 2: 1, 2). JESUS keeps us from the evil one (John 17: 15). JESUS is our intercessor (Luke 22: 31, 32). We are covered with the prayer of JESUS for our good and that the Father would show us mercy.

I am brought to my knees by the thought that the King of Kings and LORD of LORDS has such deep love that He would spend all Eternity making sure that His people will live with Him forever. His mission and ministry continues to be felt, as He stands in the gap for sinful man.
There are not words enough to give him thanks and praise for all that He has done and is doing and will do for us.

If JESUS spends all of eternity in intercession for us, it would be fitting for us to stand in the gap for others. It says in the Scripture that we are to bear one an other's burdens and thus fulfill the law of Christ, which is love. We have been given the privilege of sitting with JESUS in the heavenlies, making intercession with Him for the lives of other people. Their salvation and healing hinges on the intercession of the ones who love them. Is our love strong enough to embrace those whom we do not know and lift them to Christ for wholeness, for prosperity, for deliverance and for salvation? Will we lay down our life for our friends? Will we lay down our life for our enemies?

JESUS laid down His life for all of us, while we were yet sinners. Let us pray for all people, everywhere and for those who have no intercessor.
LET US PRAY WITH JESUS
