[Ohio-Communities-of-Faith] Intercessory Ministry by Max Lucado

[Maggie Stringer]

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, 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.
