Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

God's power flows primarily through people who pray, and intercessory prayer allows believers to participate in fulfilling God's merciful intentions for others. By stepping into the gap for those in need, praying specifically and persistently, and appealing to God's covenant promises, believers align their hearts with Christ. As our ultimate High Priest who continually intercedes for us, Jesus invites every believer into a priestly ministry of intercession.
