Chapter 11

The LORD and High Priest of THE BLESSING

But this man, because he continueth ever, hath an unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:24-25

It’s a marvelous thing to have an intercessor.

I first realized this when I was a young boy, standing behind my father at a West Texas hotel. He’d taken me with him on a business trip, and we’d stopped there for the night. While he was checking in, I’d wandered around the place and found some men playing shuffleboard. I can’t tell you to this day why it was, but for some reason I just had to get my hands on those pucks.

So I stepped right into the middle of the game, reached down and picked one up.

I didn’t think it would be any big deal. But I was wrong. The next thing I knew, one of the players came rushing toward me, all red-faced and ranting about how I’d ruined their game. Half his size, I froze in front of him like a deer in headlights with no idea what to do.

That’s when my dad showed up.

A boxer in his younger days, he stepped in front of me, and looked eye-to-eye at my accuser. Then he settled the situation with one sentence. “If you have anything to say to my boy, you’ll say it to me!”

Instantly, the shuffleboarder backed off and started apologizing. As he did, a marvelous change came over me. Safe behind my dad, I was transformed from a shivering kid to a confident little man with an attitude. I didn’t say anything out loud, but inside I was John Wayne. Yeah, mister, you want a piece of me? My dad and I can whip you with one hand tied behind our backs!

That’s what happens when you have the right intercessor.

You take on a whole new dimension of boldness, because an intercessor isn’t just someone who prays for you. An intercessor is someone who stands with you and takes your side. It’s someone who backs you up in challenging situations.

When you’re facing trouble, an effective intercessor can make a lot of difference.

When that intercessor is Jesus, the Anointed One—the conquering Lord of all, the King of kings to whom all authority has been given both in heaven and on earth—it changes everything.

The sad fact is, however, many Christians don’t know that. Though they’ve read in the Bible that Jesus is the great High Priest, who ever lives to make intercession for them, they’ve never learned how to take full advantage of that part of His ministry. They’ve never been taught how to connect with His high priestly ministry by faith.

That’s a major problem, because to live in THE BLESSING the way God intends, every believer has to make that connection. We must all learn how to trust Jesus, not only as our Savior and Lord, but as “the Apostle and High Priest of our profession.
