Jesus is the model Intercessor. He stands before God and pleads on behalf of sinful man that we may each personally experience the reality of God's daily grace. Intercession is a scriptural command with a delightfully rewarding outcome for not only the intercessee, but also for the intercessor.
Here's an intercessory benediction prayed by members of The Salvation Army Australia Southern Territory's World Mission Fellowship at the close of our monthly meetings.
As o'er each land the sun doth set
With glorious gold and amber bright
Our prayer ascends to you our Lord
For all who serve you through this night.
Give grace and strength, protective care
To all who serve you everywhere.
All praise and glory, Heavenly host
God Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
(Major Alan R Laurens)
Will you earnestly join us in this intercession? Prayer knows no boundaries ~ God's presence and power abounds always and everywhere. Praise be to Him!
1 Timothy 2:1 (MSG) ~ "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone."
