Intercede with God for them

"I exhort…….that…intercessions..be made." 1Ti 2:1 NKJVPaul writes: "I exhort…that…intercessions…be madefor all men, for kings and all who are in authority, thatwe may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godlinessand reverence. For this is good and acceptable in thesight of God our Savior, who desires all men to besaved and to come to the knowledge of the truth" (vV.1-4 NKJV). Intercession means "to mediate betweenparties with a view to reconciling those who differ orcontend." It happens every day in the court systemwhen lawyers intercede on behalf of their clients. Italso happened in Scripture. When Israel made agolden calf and worshiped it, Moses interceded withGod on their behalf, saying: "Oh, these people havecommitted a great sin...Yet now, if You will forgive theirsin-but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book whichYou have written" (Ex 32:31-32 NKJV). And it worked.God told Moses, "Go, lead the people to the place ofwhich I have spoken to you. Behold, My Angel shall gobefore you" (v. 34 NKJV). Later when Israel turnedagain to worship false gods, Samuel said, "Gather allIsrael to Mizpah, and I will pray [intercede] to the Lordfor you" (1Sa 7:5 NKJV). As a result, the Lord sent aloud thunder upon the Philistines that day, and soconfused them that they were defeated before Israel(See 1Sa 7:10 NKJV). Interceding can be a lonelybusiness, and it's also hard work: "Always laboringfervently for you in prayers, that you may standperfect and complete in all the will of God" (Col 4:12NKJV).
