David Wilkerson Devotions

Aaron is a type of Christ in the Old Testament, and his work paints an incredible picture of God showing mercy through the prayers of the high priest.

The initial work of Jesus’s intercession was the sprinkling of his blood on every bond and debt we owed, then Jesus began to pray for us, interceding to the Father on our behalf.

Satan comes before the throne of grace to accuse us. That is when Jesus steps up and advocates for us, and the devil was forced to leave with a sound rebuke.

Incense in the Bible represents prayer, and the ever-burning incense on that altar in the Holy Place represents the prayers of Jesus while he was on earth.

Grace is given to believers through the prayers of the High Priest Jesus. He is touched by the feelings of our infirmities, and he acts in mercy.

Jesus is praying for transgressors who haven’t yet turned to him. Scripture says he can save to the uttermost, meaning to the end of time, all who will ever come to him.

If Christ is Lord of believers’ life, our doorposts have been sprinkled by his blood. This is not for forgiveness only but also for protection against the powers of Satan. 

Jesus did not die just to take us to paradise. He died so that every day we could live in beautiful, close fellowship with the heavenly Father.

Who is truly justified by faith? It is the one who knows he is lost and helpless, and he has tried everything and failed. Now he commits his whole life into the Lord’s hands.

Jesus justifies us through faith for a purpose. We are to break from this world completely and be conformed to Christ alone.
