Intercessory
prayer is not something I do enough of.
I would consider this area one where I fall down. It is also one of those areas where I can
most get out of myself and into the perspective of my Master. Considering the sorts of things He is
teaching me lately, it would seem like it would take more of a central position
in my life with my Master.
Unfortunately, I seem more consumed by other things. For instance, this blog has taken up my
morning devotion time. In a way it has
become that morning devotion time. And
as of Friday, I will not be making more entries (they will run on automatic
until February 2).
Intercessory
prayer is also something I feel impressed to do from my Master’s Spirit. I have people just “pop” into my mind while
praying, and they need to be brought before my Master. Sometimes He brings them to me; sometimes
thoughts of them need to be brought to Him in captivity. What Chambers says to pray for is along the
lines of the redemption of the person. A
lot of the time, though, my prayer and who is brought to my mind are people I know
have a relationship with my Master. Along
my street there are examples of people I have no idea about. They could be saved already, but I know so
few of them.
Intercession
is a priestly role, so I suppose it really is more on behalf of those who have
no relationship with my Master. When I have
the opportunity so close around me then I avoid a clear and present
responsibility. As I think about it, I have
had contact with several of the families around me already. I have had enough contact to pray for them
(even if I can’t remember their names).
Perhaps that’s what I should be doing now instead of typing…
