The Great Intercessor

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional, Jesus the Intercessor

How do we view those who don’t know God and who have no relationship with Jesus Christ? Do we walk past them and look for a tender spot in the heart of others, or do we begin to pray for their salvation? When a fellow believer falls on hard times, do we say a quick prayer to ourselves and then go about our lives, or do we sincerely pray for their relief every day? We say we want to be like Jesus and yet so many of us don’t follow Him in one of His most basic characteristics... we don’t lovingly intercede in prayer for others. Jesus is the Great Intercessor... but are we like Him in this regard?

Christian Watchmen, and Intercessors, the Faithful Who Stand Guard

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional , Watchmen and Intercessors

God has called us to be Christian intercessors; we are meant to stand day and night on the Holy wall that divides His kingdom from the fallen world, and to call out to Him when evil, or temptation approaches His children within. This is a tireless job in which we are to be ever vigilant, and from which we are not to take our rest or leave our post. As His servants, and soldiers we are called to stand our watch upon the wall, but, when we are called, and once posted, are we faithfully performing our duty?

Are We the One Strong Person that Others Come to for Intercession?

Richard Forbes
Christian , Daily Devotional , Being an Intercessor

As Christians, who do we speak for in times of trouble and temptation, and who speaks for us? Is there someone in our lives we can turn to for intercession? Is there not one righteous soul who will place his hand upon us, and intercede in prayer when we are in a bad way? Think on this today; who do you turn to in such times, and are you steady enough in your prayers and faith that others would consider turning to you?
