JESUS IS INTERCEDING FOR YOU

Luke 22:31-32, Hebrews 7:25 (TPT)

And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. *So he is able to save fully from now throughout eternity, everyone who comes to God through him, because he lives to pray continually for them.

Jesus is our great High Priest (Heb.4:14-16) and He is also our advocate before God the Father, (1 John 2:1). He intercedes for us in line with the redemptive work He accomplished for us. In John 17, Jesus prayed so many wonderful prayers for His disciples and for everyone who will become His disciple (vs.20). Right now, Jesus is still praying for you. Just like He prayed in John 17, Jesus is praying for God to protect and preserve you and for you to be strong, enjoy His abundance and be all that He died for you to be. He is praying for you to succeed in your assignment of representing Him on earth.

Prayers do not prevent us from facing challenges. They can avert unnecessary challenges, but mostly they give us strength to go through our challenges successfully and enter into the glorious and greater things ahead of us. Out of love, Jesus prayed for Peter and His prayers preserved and strengthened Peter’s faith. Instead of being discouraged and losing his faith by what he went through, Peter was strengthened, revived and became a mighty vessel in God’s hands. Jesus said God the Father always hears His prayers, (John 11:41-42). God is answering every prayer Jesus is praying for you. You have no reason to fail. Keep praying in the name/authority of Jesus. Keep doing all you do in the name/authority of Jesus, (Col.3:17).

Prayer:
I thank you, Dear Father that Jesus is always standing in the gap for me and His redemptive work is always speaking for me
