Happiness in Intercessory Ministry - October 1, 2019

Nothing activates happiness like intercessory ministry.  The scripture says, “Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God” (1 John 3:1).

So you come, not as a stranger, but as an heir to the promise.  You are his ambassador.  “Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ as though God were pleading through us; we implore you on Christ’s behalf to be reconciled to God” (2 Corinthians 5:20).

Our King will listen to our request.  After all, you are a member of his priesthood.  Peter said, “But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, his own special people” (1 Peter 2:9).  So in our intercession we function as priests, standing in the gap between the people of earth and God.  This is how happiness happens.
