I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

Intercession
A Priest is one who
intercedes for a person, a family, a city, or a nation, before God.
All Christians are called to be royal priest.
(Exodus 19:5-6 NKJV) 'Now therefore, if you will indeed obey My voice and
keep My covenant, then you shall be a special treasure to Me above all people;
for all the earth is Mine. {6} 'And you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and
a holy nation.' These are the words which you shall speak to the children of
Israel."
(Leviticus 6:7 NKJV) "So the priest shall make atonement for him before the
LORD, and he shall be forgiven for any one of these things that he may have done
in which he trespasses."
(Leviticus 16:15-17 NKJV) "Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering,
which is for the people, bring its blood inside the veil, do with that blood as
he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat and before
the mercy seat. {16} "So he shall make atonement for the Holy Place,
because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their
transgressions, for all their sins; and so he shall do for the tabernacle of
meeting which remains among them in the midst of their uncleanness. {17}
"There shall be no man in the tabernacle of meeting when he goes in to make
atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, that he may make atonement for
himself, for his household, and for all the assembly of Israel.
(Numbers 12:3 NKJV) (Now the man Moses was very humble, more than all men who
were on the face of the earth.)
(2 Chronicles 30:18-20 NKJV) For a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim,
Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the
Passover contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying,
"May the good LORD provide atonement for everyone {19} who prepares his
heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though he is not cleansed
according to the purification of the sanctuary." {20} And the LORD listened
to Hezekiah and healed the people.
(Job 1:1-5 NKJV) There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that
man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil. {2} And
seven sons and three daughters were born to him. {3} Also, his possessions were
seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five
hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the
greatest of all the people of the East. {4} And his sons would go and feast in
their houses, each on his appointed day, and would send and invite their three
sisters to eat and drink with them. {5} So it was, when the days of feasting had
run their course, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early
in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all.
For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their
hearts." Thus Job did regularly.
(Job 42:7-10 NKJV) And so it was, after the LORD had spoken these words to Job,
that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is aroused against
you and your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My
servant Job has. {8} "Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and
seven rams, go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering;
and My servant Job shall pray for you. For I will accept him, lest I deal with
you according to your folly; because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as
My servant Job has." {9} So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and
Zophar the Naamathite went and did as the LORD commanded them; for the LORD had
accepted Job. {10} And the LORD restored Job's losses when he prayed for his
friends. Indeed the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
(Psalms 106:23 NKJV) Therefore He said that He would destroy them, Had not Moses
His chosen one stood before Him in the breach, To turn away His wrath, lest He
destroy them.
(Isaiah 58:6 NKJV) "Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To loose the
bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
(Isaiah 59:16 NKJV) He saw that there was no man, And wondered that there was no
intercessor; Therefore His own arm brought salvation for Him; And His own
righteousness, it sustained Him.
(Ezekiel 22:30 NKJV) "So I sought for a man among them who would make a
wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not
destroy it; but I found no one.
(Matthew 16:19 NKJV) "And I will give you the keys of the kingdom of
heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you
loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
(Matthew 18:18 NKJV) "Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth
will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in
heaven.
(Luke 23:34 NKJV) Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not
know what they do." And they divided His garments and cast lots.
(John 20:22-23 NKJV) And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to
them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. {23} "If you forgive the sins of any,
they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."
(1 Corinthians 7:14 NKJV) For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife,
and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children
would be unclean, but now they are holy.
(Galatians 6:1-2 NKJV) Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who
are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself
lest you also be tempted. {2} Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law
of Christ.
(1 Timothy 2:1-4 NKJV) Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications,
prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, {2} for kings
and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all
godliness and reverence. {3} For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God
our Savior, {4} who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of
the truth.
(Hebrews 4:14-16 NKJV) Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has
passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our
confession. {15} For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our
weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. {16} Let
us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and
find grace to help in time of need.
(Hebrews 5:1 NKJV) For every high priest taken from among men is appointed for
men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for
sins.
(1 Peter 2:4-5 NKJV) Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men,
but chosen by God and precious, {5} you also, as living stones, are being built
up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices
acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.
(1 Peter 2:9 NKJV) But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy
nation, His own special people, that you may proclaim the praises of Him who
called you out of darkness into His marvelous light;
(1 John 5:13-17 NKJV) These things I have written to you who believe in the name
of the Son of God, that you may know that you have eternal life, and that you
may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God. {14} Now this is the
confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will,
He hears us. {15} And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that
we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. {16} If anyone sees his brother
sinning a sin which does not lead to death, he will ask, and He will give him
life for those who commit sin not leading to death. There is sin leading to
death. I do not say that he should pray about that. {17} All unrighteousness is
sin, and there is sin not leading to death.
(Revelation 1:5-6 NKJV) and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the
firstborn from the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who
loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, {6} and has made us kings
and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and
ever. Amen.
(Revelation 5:9-10 NKJV) And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy
to take the scroll, And to open its seals; For You were slain, And have redeemed
us to God by Your blood Out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation,
{10} And have made us kings and priests to our God; And we shall reign on the
earth."
(Revelation 20:6 NKJV) Blessed and holy is he who has part in the first
resurrection. Over such the second death has no power, but they shall be priests
of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years.
