Heb. 7

Christ Jesus is an eternal priest after the order of Melchizedek … like Melchizedek who was made a priest because of the resurrection power within him. Christ lives to make intercession for us before the Heavenly Father. It’s ongoing, like our intercession should be. The one-and-done prayers are a step in the right direction – we call out to God when we need Him – but God is grooming a consistency in our prayers. We can model our prayer life after that of Jesus. He prayed often. He is making intercession right now. We can too.

Prevailing prayer does not give up. It keeps asking.

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. Will not God bring about justice for his chosen ones, who cry out to Him day and night? [Luke 18:1, 7]
