The Ministry of Intercession: A Plea for More Prayer
Murray, Andrew
Intercessory prayer -- Christianity
Study these words until your whole soul be filled with the
consciousness, I am appointed intercessor. Enter God's presence in that
faith. Study the world's need with that thought--it is my work to
intercede; the Holy Spirit will teach me for what and how. Let it be an
abiding consciousness: My great life-work, like Christ's, is
intercession--to pray for believers and those who do not yet know God.

SEVENTH DAY
WHAT TO PRAY.--For the Power of the Holy Spirit on Ministers
="I beseech you that ye strive together with me in your prayers to
God for me."=--ROM. xv. 30.
="He will deliver us; ye also helping together by your supplication
on our behalf."=--2 COR. i. 10, 11.
What a great host of ministers there are in Christ's Church. What need
they have of prayer. What a power they might be, if they were all
clothed with the power of the Holy Ghost. Pray definitely for this; long
for it. Think of your own minister, and ask it very specially for him.
Connect every thought of the ministry, in your town or neighbourhood or
the world, with the prayer that all may be filled with the Spirit. Plead
for them the promise, ="Tarry till ye be clothed with power from on
high." "Ye shall receive power, when the Holy Ghost is come upon you."=
HOW TO PRAY.--In Secret
="But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy inner chamber, and
having shut to thy door, pray to the Father which is in
secret."=--MATT. vi. 6.
="He withdrew again into the mountain to pray, _Himself
alone_."=--MATT. xiv. 23; JOHN vi. 15.
Take time and realise, when you are alone with God: Here am I now, face
to face with God, to intercede for His servants. Do not think you have
no influence, or that your prayer will not be missed. Your prayer and
faith will make a difference. Cry in secret to God for His ministers.
