1. Power In Intercessory Prayer

Experience God's POWER through Prayer

Day 1: Power

Evening

Why pray? If God wants to do something, does He not have the freedom to do whatever He pleases? Of course, He does. The purpose of prayer can be seen in the first portrait as Moses held the rod of God as portrayed in Exodus 17.

Day 2: Others 

Evening

There is a spiritual participation in prayer that we all need to be a part of. I need you to be my Aaron and Hur. I need you to uphold me in prayer, to intercede when I become weak. To join your hearts together with mine as we pray together. And you know what? You need me too. When you strip away your pride and self-sufficiency, you need me and other believers to partner with you in prayer.

Day 3: With Us

Evening

Do you have a sense of divine presence? God is not only all-present, but He is near when we pray. In the hands of Moses was the rod of God, the symbol of God’s presence and power. In our hands can be the presence of victory on the battlefield.

Day 4: Endurance

Evening

Have your hands become heavy as you “practice the presence of God”? Are you weary in going to God in prayer? Is your service to God and especially in your prayer life gaining the victory over the flesh? If so and maybe especially so, you will soon grow weary in your prayer life to the Lord. Maybe things will go so well, just like the battle when Joshua was winning, you will say, “All is well, what need have I to pray?” Therein lies the deception of ceasing to pray.

Day 5: Reality

Evening

Is there a place you go to pray? Moses went to the top of the hill to see and be seen. But there is a higher reality of where we go when we pray.

Day 6: Spiritual Parallel

Evening

In the New Testament, there is a parallel passage to Exodus 17 and the intercession of Moses for Joshua/Jesus. It is when the greatest of all battles took place, during the prayer of our Lord in the Garden of Gethsemane.

Day 7: Spiritual Presence

Evening

Jesus had a place for prayer, just outside of Jerusalem on the way to Bethany. He prayed in other places, in deserts, in mountains, in private, in public, before meals, even at funerals. But Gethsemane was special to Him. “He went out with His disciples over the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden. Jesus often met there with His disciples,” (John 18).
