Murray presents intercession as a vital yet underutilized aspect of prayer, calling it the work of God’s priests. He critiques the modern church for its lack of fervent prayer for revival and confessions of collective sin, stating, 'If God were to show us how much there is of intense prayer for a revival through the church... I think we should all be ashamed.' He highlights the biblical examples of Ezra, Nehemiah, and Daniel, who interceded on behalf of their people, and even Christ, who identified with sinners in baptism. This concept challenges the self-focused spirituality of many Christians, urging them to embrace intercession as a sacrificial act of love and a means to bring God’s blessings to others. It ties to the book’s overarching theme of yielding oneself entirely to God’s purposes. | Andrew Murray | The Master's Indwelling
