With Christ in the School of Prayer - Thoughts on Our Training for the Ministry of Intercession #223269

And of all the traits of a life like christ there is none higher and more glorious than conformity to Him in the work that now engages Him without ceasing in the Father's presence — His all-prevailing intercession. The more we abide in Him, and grow unto His likeness, will His priestly life work in us mightily, and our life become what His is, a life that ever pleads and prevails for men. Thou hast made us kings and priests unto God. Both in the king and the priest the chief thing is power, influence, blessing. In the king it is the power coming downward; in the priest, the power rising upward, prevailing with God. In our blessed Priest King, Jesus Christ, the kingly power is founded on the priestly He is able to save to the uttermost, be cause He ever liveth to make intercession. In us.
