The call to intercessory prayer for others

0 Amens

Amen

Jesus goes to the gentile region of Tyre and Sidon...he tries to do so quietly without being notice. Of course, the word gets out and one woman knows his reputation for healing and deliverance comes and begs Jesus to free her daughter from an evil spirit. She intercedes on her daughter's behalf. Jesus is abrupt and even rude...but this woman shows two remarkable traits of true intercessory...she is humble and persists until Jesus grants her requests. Likewise, we should follow her example and intercede for others to come to the saving knowledge of Christ and remain humble, patience, and persistent until we see God's answer...do not become discouraged. God's time is not ours but it always right.
