INTERCESSORY PRAYER - Building Blocks, Part 5

March 19, 2018

"If we truly love people, we will desire for them far more than it is within our power to give them, and this will lead us to prayer: Intercession is a way of loving others." Richard J. Foster

It's Week 5 in Building Blocks: A Life of Prayer and this week, we're looking at the most selfless (and therefore Christ-like) form of prayer: INTERCESSORY PRAYER. This is where we follow the lead of our Lord and use our time of prayer to carry the burdens of others.

Because intercession is the primary work of Christ, it should therefore should be the primary work of His disciples (US) as well.

Check out yesterday's message from the Extreme Makeover: PRAYER Edition series for answers to these questions and more. I also shared about my personal system for intercessory prayer and gave some tips about how you can get started in this Christ-like ministry of intercession as well.

And if stands out to you and you think it's worth sharing, be sure to use the hashtag #PrayerMakeover when you share it.
