God wants, that you, Christian reader, want, that I want, is
persistent intercession. We must have not only personal
devotion to Christ, purposeful compassion for the souls of
men, but persistent intercession.

- We must pray for ourselves.
Pray for our fellow church members, pray for the
backslidden, the indifferent, the unconcerned, the
unconsecrated, pray for the pastors, pray for the
evangelists, pray for the choirs and pianists. We must
literally saturate our towns with prayers. If I were to ask
you the question “Do you believe God answers prayer?”
you would answer immediately, “I surely do.” Do you?
Do you believe God answers prayer? How do you know?
Has someone told you? Do you know it “second-hand”?
Have you ever tested the truth of the statement? Has God
ever answered prayer for you in a mighty, miraculous
way?

1 Jesus Christ sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on
high after making purification for our sins Heb 1:3
2. He gives the Holy Spirit for us
15:26,Rom 8:11, 1 Cor 6:11, I Thess 4:8
Acts 2:33, John
3. As a Great High Priest, Christ intercedes for us. Since He
Himself suffered when tempted, He is able to help us Heb
8:1,10, Rom 8:34, Heb 2:17
4. He implements the New Covenant blessings Heb 1:2,6,8,
9:26, 10:19
5. He fights for us Heb 10:11-13
If you believe the Bible is the Word of God, if you
believe the promises of God are yea and Amen in Christ, if
you believe there is a God in heaven, if you believe God
can give us a revival, if you want to see a torrential
visitation of God's Spirit, I challenge you, I appeal to you,
I implore you, I beseech you, from this moment on,
without rest or cessation, let usall of us, each of uslift our
cities to God's throne of grace. Let us keep them there in
the white heat of our prayers until God answers by fire and
sends us a revival from above.
This is God's plan for a revival. Comply with it and
the heavens will flood the earth with showers of blessings.
Let us plead God's grace until the Holy Spirit creates
within our hearts a burning passion for Christ, a
purposeful compassion for souls, a ceaseless intercession
for power and victory
6. Jesus Christ is the perfect example for us in sufferings and
trials Heb 12:2,3
7. He who was seated at the right hand stood to welcome
martyr Stephen Acts 7:55.56
My Response
a. Since Christ is seated at the right hand of God, we need to
seek the things that are above and not below Col 3:1-4
b. We need to have enlightened hearts in order to grasp the
godly riches Eph 1:17-23
c. Our position in Christ is so glorious that we should not
live according to human passions 1 Pet 3:22, 4:1,2
