The Place of Intercession

Before going to the cross Jesus went to a solitary place to pray.  He often visited the garden of Gethsemane but this time it was different.  He was in agony in his soul and spirit and it was necessary for Him to pray through because of what He was about to face.

Jesus needed his disciples to sit and watch, tarry and pray as he interceded, however, they were heavy with sleep and could not watch with him.  He took this walk alone but after reaching the point of breakthrough He knew that He could go on and endure the cross.  One of His own was about to betray Him but after prayer and intercession He knew that he was ready to drink the bitter cup that had been set before Him.

As the Lord burdens your heart in prayer remember what Jesus walked through, pray until you receive your breakthrough.  Matthew 26:36-46

Apostle Deborah Taylor
