THE PRIESTHOOD OF BELIEVERS
"You also, as living stones, are being built up as a spiritual house for a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices [prayers] acceptable to God through Jesus Christ." (1 Peter 2:5)
"...and He (Christ Jesus) has made us a kingdom and priests to His God and Father." (Revelation 1:6)
"...I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions and giving of thanks be made for all men..." (1 Tim. 2:1)
"Be a priest, only a priest and all priest! Walk before the Lord in the full consciousness that you have been set apart for the holy ministry of intercession. This is the true blessedness of conformity to the image of God's Son." -Andrew Murray (from "With Christ in the School of Prayer")

"At one time I will suddenly speak concerning a nation or kingdom, that I will pluck up and break down and destroy it; and if [the people of] that nation concerning which I have spoken turn from their evil, I will relent and reverse My decision concerning the evil that I thought to do to them." (Jeremiah 18:8 AMP)
"If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)
