Intercession, so much more than we think it is. It's not just people that get together and pray, it's not the five people that really like to pray, it's so much more than that.
And we talk about Jesus in this season and we remember his birth, but what we don't realize is that he actually came as an intercessor.
He came and dwelt among us so he could stand in the gap, because the Spirit of the Lord searched to and fro across the whole earth and found no one that was worthy to stand in the gap as an intercessor for us.
And so Jesus, coming through the womb, stepped into the earth as the greatest intercessor that would ever touch this dirt, and it's who he still is. Everything that we do as believers is actually, when we come in an agreement with him. It is an act of intercession, it's an act of standing in the gap and it's an act of agreeing with his, his will.
That's why the Lord's prayer is what it is his will on earth as it is in heaven. And so when we think about the advent that we're in right now, the first coming of Jesus, it was actually the first, the first fleshing out of his intercession to bridge a gap that could not be bridged otherwise.
And then the second advent of Jesus is his return.... Watch the video for the full sermon. This sermon is from December 2023, but it is as relevant today as it was then.
