JESUS ISN’T PRAYING FOR US, HE IS INTERCEDING: Prayer Note # 15

  
 “Jesus isn’t praying for us; He is interceding for us so we can pray. This is what is meant by asking ‘in His name.’ 

Basically, humanity needed two things after the Fall. The needed someone to ’go between’ themselves and God to reconcile themselves to God’ they also needed someone to ‘go between’ themselves and Satan to separate themselves from him.

One was uniting, the other a disuniting. One reestablished headship, the other broke headship. It was a two-fold work of intercession.

    We needed both. Jesus did both. As the intercessor-mediator, He went between God and humanity, reconciling us to the Father; and between Satan and humanity, breaking Satan’s hold. 

This was the redemptive work of intercession and it is complete… This revelation is critical. It means our prayers of intercession are always and only an extension of His work of intercession. 

God won’t honor any intercession except Christ’s, and also because this understanding will make our prayers of intercession infinitely more powerful.”

“Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.”  (Ro. 8:34 NKJV)
