I Timothy 2:1
I exhort, therefore, that first of all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving thanks, be made for all men.
JESUS, THE HOLY SPIRIT, AND THE CHURCH, INTERCEDES TOGETHER
There is a very powerful trio of intercessors, praying all at the same time, lifting up the needs of the world to the Father. We are a part of this trio and are challenged to be faithful to our task.
Who is the Church? Many people have different answers to that question; the Bible answers it this way, ALL TRUE BELIEVERS IN JESUS CHRIST COMPOSE THE BODY OF CHRIST - THE CHURCH. (Read Matthew 16 and 18; The Acts; all Paul's letters; Hebrews 12:23; The Revelation 2 and 3).
To the Church, Paul writes that "all supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving thanks be made for all men." This is a call to ministry with JESUS and the Holy Spirit for the great good of the whole world. We, the Church, have a task before us, look at this world and pray with JESUS and in the Holy Spirit for the salvation, sanctification, peace and prosperity of every avenue of life in this whole world.
Pray for the unborn; pray for the people who are suffering hunger, oppression, famine, drought, pestilence; pray for the homes torn apart by strife; pray for the homeless; pray for the mentally ill and mentally challenged; pray for the school children; Colleges and students; PRAY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE NO INTERCESSOR.
PRAY FOR THE CHURCH, TO BE FAITHFUL TO IT'S CALL TO INTERCEDE.
