Text: Hebrews 3:1, 4:14, 8:1Lesson six (6) from the Book of Hebrews

A prophet represents God to man, while a priestrepresent man before God. In this way, Jesus serves as our high priest.

The entire book of Hebrews borders/builds on the superiority of Christ

APPLICATION OF OUR PRIESTHOOD

1. Our Priesthood is fulfilled in intercession (Hebrews 7:21-25, Romans 8:23-24, 1 Samuel12:20-23, Colossians4:12, 1 Timothy2:1-3 and 1 John 5:14-16

NUGGETS

· If you are not an interceding Christian, you are notworking or practicing priesthood

· Priest do not represent themselves, rather they representothers.

· When you pray for someone, you feel a reluctance/restrain in your heart to speak negatively about them. As such, It will be difficult to cause someone if you intercede for them.

· When you start interceding by praying for others, yourspirit is engaged, and things begin to move quickly in your life.

· When you enter into intercession (engaging your spiritby praying for others), things begin to work fast for you.

· Place Christ’s priorities above your own desires andlet God’s purpose be the most important focus in your life.

· Your anger will decrease, if you learn to pray and intercede for others,

· A believer fails in the act of intercession when another believer goes to hell.
