It marked the beginning of misery for humanity. But God knew this, so He foreordained Jesus, the eternal High Priest, to pray for our restoration. However, before Jesus, God consecrated godly men and priests to minister to Him and pray for His people on altars in designated places. Over time, however, some of them flouted God's covenants. They also defrauded the people they were to intercede for in the Old Testament. Later, Jesus manifested as the divine sacrificial Lamb, who died on the cross to atone for sin and intercede for our redemption and restoration. He also directed all His believers, not just a select few, to plead for His mercy for others' restoration. God empowers every believer with the Holy Spirit for His service in the Kingdom.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book, Standing in the Gap, details the genesis of intercession and draws attention to the relevance of intercessory prayers for God's mercy and restoration today. \u003cbr\u003eReaders of this book will learn the following about intercession:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhy God initiated intercessory prayers for sinful man. \u003cbr\u003eAll believers in Christ are intercessors, not just a select few, as in the Old Testament.\u003cbr\u003eGodly traits such as holiness and loving obedience boost effective intercession.\u003cbr\u003eThe contrasts between the Old Testament seasonal animal sacrifice for intercession and the New Testament model espoused by Jesus. \u003cbr\u003eHow intercessors can avoid and overcome prayer hindrances such  as disobedience   that affect communion with God.\u003cbr\u003eJoyous revival is the main benefit of intercession.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46839780343966,"sku":"ADS-9781667881621","price":24.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781667881621.jpg?v=1778826532","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781667881621","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
