ROYAL PRIESTHOOD: INTERCESSION
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Royal Priesthood
1 Peter 2:9-10 NKJV
But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light; {10} who once were not a people but are now the people of God, who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy.
2. Intercession
a) We believe that intercession is a ministry to bring people into the Kingdom of God. When someone enters the Kingdom then they become a royal priest, with access and authority, then nothing and no one should ever come between them and God. But of course we still pray for each other and this is a way of sharing each others burdens which helps unify Christ body of believers.
(Galatians 6:2 KJV)
Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
b) The ministry of intercession is the ultimate in spiritual warfare. It defeats Satan and his strongholds over people like a hydrogen bomb destroys an ant hill. It binds all the power that Satan has and unleashes the forces of heaven to attack and wage war, taking more territory and people into the Kingdom. Intercession begins with us allowing compassion to flow through our hearts, which is the presence of the Holy Spirit. We then allow the Holy Spirit to make intercession through us, guiding us as to what to pray for, on behalf of whom we have compassion for. True intercession is God praying through you. True intercession is praying to the Father thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, and knowing what His will is, and speaking forth His will to bring in the Kingdom, coming with all power and authority.
c) Intercession is the ministry of reconciliation, the reconciliation of man to God.
(2 Corinthians 5:14-20 NIV)
For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. {15} And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again. {16} So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. {17} Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! {18}
All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: {19} that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. {20} We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
