Prayer Series XVII

As previously stated, until we further note I will be posting from Reformed Reflections on the Lord’s Prayer.

Today we continue with The Ingredients of Prayer

Intercession

Intercession . . . is the suit of the heart unto God for the good of others.

James Ussher

Three things concur [in Christ’s intercession]: 1. The presentation of His Person for us . . . 2. The representation of His death . . . for us . . . 3. A putting up, a requesting and offering unto God of . . . desires . . . for the Church, attended with care, love and compassion.

John Owen

Bible Proof Texts: 1 Timothy 2:1-2, Acts 7:59-60, Acts 12:5
