PRAYING THROUGH THE NAMES OF JESUS

Hey GChurch! We are continuing in our series “Praying Through the Names of Jesus”. This month we will be exploring: Truth, Prince of Life, Mediator, Savior, and Mighty God. Remember, check your email every Wednesday to pray along with us as we explore “Praying Through the Names of Jesus.” Let’s make GChurch a house of Prayer.

MEDIATOR

There is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.

1 Timothy 2:5

Adoration

Jesus, 1 Timothy 2:5 makes this name of Yours clear for us. You are the mediator, the go-between who allows humanity to enter into God’s holy presence because of Your shed blood. I praise and honor You for Your sacrifice, which provided the way to enter heaven. As Hebrews9:15 says, “He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.” I praise You for the promise of the eternal inheritance which You have supplied through the power of this mighty name.

Confession

Jesus, humanity has needed You and the manifestation of this name of Yours as mediator since the beginning of time. Since the first sin in the garden which led to a continual presence of sin in the nature of mankind, we have been removed from the presence of God. Our relationship with the Father was severed by sin. But as Hebrews12:22,24 says, “You have come…to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel.” You have created and gifted us a new covenant. Forgive me for my sins which caused my initial separation from God. Forgive me for my sins which made the cross a reality and need. Forgive me for my sins which You felt, paid for, and removed through Your righteous atonement.

Thanksgiving

Jesus, thank You for the vast number of promises which appear in Your holy Word. Thank You for the truth of these promises. You have given us access to these promises by Your role as mediator. Thank You for Your ministry, which has created a better covenant based on the promise of eternal life. As Hebrews 8:6 says, “Now He has obtained amore excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.” Thank You for standing in the gap between myself and God the Father, giving me the bridge to cross over that gap and into His loving arms. Thank You for rescuing me from eternal separation and torment so that I can live forever in the warmth of God’s unconditional love, which has been freely given through Your sacrifice for my sins as the mediator.

Supplication

Jesus, help others come to a saving knowledge of You through this name of Yours as the mediator between humanity and God’s presence. Send workers into the fields in order to reap a harvest of souls. Jesus, raise up a group of people who will make evangelizing others their life mission and goal. Draw all men to Yourself so that they can benefit from Your mediation on their behalf. Give me wisdom and insight on how I can influence others toward salvation in You within the realms of my personal stewardship. Show me how You want me to use my time, talents, and treasures to point people to You, the only mediator between a holy God and sinful humanity.
