Romans 8 recorded the Holy Spirit praying for us, as well as Jesus. Verse 26 says, “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.”

Have you ever condemned, or made derogatory remarks against yourself? Verse 34 says, “Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us.”

Ezekiel 22:30 gives us a perfect understanding of what intercession is. It says, “So I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it; but I found no one.”

Jesus heard what the Father was speaking, and He spoke it. We need to hear what the Lord is saying about our nation. Let’s make a wall and stand in the gap, because many are perishing. Oh Lord, move on hearts for revival!
