William Still - The Intercession of Aaron

"It is tremendous that God listens to individuals he has appointed to his service and given them responsibility under him to plead for the people.

See Aaron running with the censer in his hand to atone for the people before they were all slain by the plague. It reminds us of our great High Priest, Jesus, seated at the right hand of his Father ruling and reigning and yet hearing the prayers of his intercessors and, having vetted them as to their acceptableness, presenting them to the Father for his answer.

We have more power to accomplish the Lord's will in the world than we know. We are never helpless who know the Lord. We ought to bring all matters to him, not only urgent ones, and discover his heart and mind on them. If he gives us carte blanche to go ahead and plead, or even claim his power in a given situation, then we are to act upon it, and wait his answer, which may be sudden, slow or gradual."
