Understanding the prayer ministry of Jesus is of great importance in the prayer ministry of the believer. Our Lord Jesus is in heaven with the Father and has perfected all for us, yet the Bible says that He lives to make intercession for us. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. Romans 8:34 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25 This is the prayer ministry of Jesus. He is our High Priest, making intercession for us before the throne of God. But how does He do this, how does He intercede for us? Is He kneeling before the throne of God with His head bowed in prayer making intercession for us as popularly taught? In this book, we will expatiate on the intercessory ministry of Jesus and the role of the believer in participating in this ministry. Come along with me.
