Because of Jesus, You Pray Directly to God for Others; Do You Advantage This Great Gift and Pray Directly to the Creator of the Universe?

MESSAGE SUMMARY: In your personal relationship with God, you can come before God on behalf of yourself or others – Intercessory Prayer. Because of Jesus and God’s Grace, you can pray directly for your family, your friends, your church and/or your nation without the intermediary of a priest. Before Jesus, one could not enter the Holy of Holies in the Temple; only the Hight Priest could pray directly to God. You are given the privilege of following Moses’ example for Intercessory Prayer because of what Jesus has done for you. Jesus has given you the privilege of entering the Throne Room of God to have direct access to God the Father – this access to God is through prayer.  In 1 Timothy 2:1-4, we are told the importance if intercessory prayer: “First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.".

 

TODAY’S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that, because I am in Jesus Christ, I can do what He asks of me. (Philippians 4:13).  “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.”. (Philippians 4:14).

SCRIPTURE REFERENCE (ESV): Exodus 33:11; Exodus 32:11; Hebrews 5:1-10; Psalms 73b:15-28.
