READ: Colossians 3:5-10
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.
Romans 8:13
Man has a need for an intercessor! The law of the flesh works against everything spiritual. Paul was afraid of his own flesh. He said he knew that there was nothing good in his flesh (Romans 7:18).
At one point, Paul said that he had lost confidence in his flesh (Philippians 3:3). Dear friend, if Paul had lost confidence in his flesh, what should we do? The flesh is ready to take you to Hell. The flesh is working against church growth. The flesh is working against the very life of the Church. Your flesh is working against your spiritual progress (1 Corinthians 9:27).
The flesh makes church members desire the wrong things and do the wrong things. It is the flesh that makes church members lazy . It is because of the flesh that most church members do not come to church every Sunday. When a pastor thinks of his children in the Lord, his heart must burn with interventionary prayer: Father, help your children! Don't let them fall by the wayside.
Another need for intercession is in the area of sickness and disease. Intercessory prayer prevents disease from fastening its hold on people. Remember that it is easier to prevent diseases than to treat them. Intercessory prayer will prevent the pastors from conducting unnecessary funerals.
