(23) The former priests were many in number, because they were prevented by death from continuing in office; (24) but He (JESUS, OUR GREAT HIGH PRIEST) holds His priesthood permanently, because He continues forever. (25) Consequently He is able for all time to save those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. (26) For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest, holy, blameless, unstained, separated from sinners, exalted above the heavens. (27) He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for His own sins and then for those of the people; He did this once for all when He offered up Himself. -- Hebrews 7:23-27 (RSV)
IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14.

The prayers of the church, prevailing, acceptable, and fruitful as they are, are not a thing of beauty as they leave the lips of saints. As they start their way heavenward, they are a mixed bag of weeds with a few stray flowers. When they arrive, however thanks to the intercession of Christ they are nothing but beautiful flowers. What blessed, comforting thoughts these are as we, amidst our frailties, pray [[R. Kent Hughes. Hebrews: An Anchor For the Soul. Vol 1 ( Wheaton: Crossway Books, 1993) p. 208].
Only in the Name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
At this very moment, Jesus is advocating for us before the Father. His pleas and prayers have no contingencies attached
And he never goes to sleep or gets tired.
Gotta love a GOD like ours. Who is like our LORD? There is no one!
