Quotes about Intercession
The Lord restored Job's losses when he prayed for his friends." As a saved soul, the real business of your life is intercessory prayer. Whatever circumstances God may place you in, always pray immediately that His atonement may be recognized and as fully understood in the lives of others as it has been in yours. Pray for your friends now , and pray for those with whom you come in contact now .

Beware of outstripping God by your very longing to do His will. We run ahead of Him in a thousand and one activities, becoming so burdened with people and with problems that we do not worship God, and we fail to intercede. If a burden and its resulting pressure come upon us and we are not in an attitude of worship, it will produce a hardness toward God and despair in our own souls.

Can Jesus Christ see the agony of His soul in us? He can't unless we are so closely identified with Him that we have His view concerning the people for whom we pray. May we learn to intercede so wholeheartedly that Jesus Christ will be completely and overwhelmingly satisfied with us as intercessors.
