INTERCESSOR
What does it mean to you that Jesus and the Holy Spirit are your intercessors?
As a caregiver who often doesn’t even know how to pray, I need the reminder that my Lord and the Holy Spirit are both interceding for me on a daily basis. When we face trials and troubles in our lives, it’s easy for us to focus on our circumstances rather than the One who sits beside the throne of God and intercedes for us.
The writer of Hebrews tells us …
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrews 12:1-3
Why is important for us to fix our eyes on Jesus? So we do not grow weary and lose heart!
As we praise Him this week as our Intercessor, let’s turn from our struggles and circumstances and fix our eyes on Jesus. Place all your cares and struggles in His loving arms and leave them there allowing Him to intercede for you to the One who is able to meet all your needs.
Sunday Supplication
Jesus, thank you for interceding for me not only on the cross, but today as you sit beside Father God and pray for me. Holy Spirit, thank you for joining with the Son in praying for my needs. I praise You, my Intercessors. AMEN! SO BE IT!
Monday Manna
After he has suffered, he will see the light of life and be satisfied; by his knowledge my righteous servant will justify many, and he will bear their iniquities. Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
Isaiah 53:11-12
Tuesday Treasure
In the same way, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us through wordless groans. And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God’s people in accordance with the will of God.
Romans 8:26-27
Wednesday Wisdom
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
Hebrews 7:25
Thursday Truth
Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who then is the one who condemns? No one. Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.
Romans 8:33-34
Friday Fact
For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with human hands that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence.
