Revelation 1:6 – And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Elevated Identity
When we place saving faith in Christ, we become part of a chosen, royal priesthood. He confers upon us the profound privilege of direct access to God that was previously limited. What an honor!
Because of Jesus’ sacrifice, we can now boldly approach God’s throne. Our position in Christ gives us authority to carry out the priestly duty of representing people before Him in prayer.
An Appointed Calling
Our royal priestly identity comes with responsibility. We plead Christ’s sufficiency to God on behalf of others. We represent them through intercession just as priests did in the Old Testament.
This is sacrificial work requiring compassion, perseverance, and Christlike commitment to the needs of people. We must embrace this holy calling.
Lord, Make Me a Prayer Warrior
Lord, remind me of my royal identity that allows me to directly commune with You and pray for others. Instill priestly compassion so I can effectively represent people and their struggles before Your throne of grace. Make me a prayer warrior.
