Generation of Intercessors

Job was a real man who had gone through real pain and great loss in his personal life. Unfortunately his friends, religious folk, ended up being “miserable comforters” (Job 16:2).

In his pain he cried out, “O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!” Job 16:21

This is what Job wished his friends would have done for him.  This is what true Christians are called to do. That is why Peter said, “You are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; …” 1 Peter 2:9

We are to be the generation that intercedes for others, we are to be a priesthood for those who have discovered that sin separates us from God.

We, like Job, may find ourselves hungry for an intercessor. And praise God, we have one!  (see Hebrews 3:1, 4:14, 7:25)

As one who has personally felt the sting of sin and death, may I encourage you to be one who shares the precious and comforting truths of Jesus. Thunder in the Holy Land can help.
