Table of Contents
The trials of life
Both Christians and non-Christians face the trials of life. Matthew writes, "He [God] causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous" (Matt. 5:45). Each one who faces a trial needs an attorney!
Job's school of suffering
Job was a man of integrity who was challenged with unimaginable personal, financial, and relational trials. His afflictions were turned as he prayed for his friends
Mr. Christian goes to court
Satan, "the accuser of the brethren," continually charges believers with offenses. Yet when we sin, Jesus, our "defense attorney," represents us before the great judge, Jehovah God
Jesus Christ, the attorney of record
Jesus is our lead attorney in the cases we are assigned to pray. We are subject to His lead, His timing, and His Word. Ultimately, He is responsible for the outcome of the case
Satan, our adversary in court
To be successful, a defense attorney must think like a prosecutor! It's the oldest rule of war : know your enemy!
Here comes the judge!
An effective attorney knows the judge and how the judge tends to rule
Personal preparation
To be effective intercessory advocates, we must prepare ourselves. Some qualities of a good attorney are also qualities of an effective intercessor
Case preparation : defending others in court
Here are the various elements necessary in presenting a strong, convincing case in court
Win or lose?
The most important issue is to approach our case with a spirit of excellence
Warfare prayer : prosecuting satan in court
Focused, specific, persistent praying at the right time will assure our success as advocates in the court of heaven!
Purpose-driven prayer vs. problem-centered praying
Seeing the plan, knowing God's purpose will make a huge difference in our effectiveness as people of prayer.
