Galatians 6:2-3


2 Bear (endure, carry) one another’s burdens and troublesome moral faults, and in this way fulfill and observe perfectly the law of Christ (the Messiah) and complete what is lacking [in your obedience to it].

Every one of our burdens in Christ is light and He always makes our yoke easy, Matthew 11:30. This is the Truth because we are now one with Jesus, Ephesians 5:30-32, and everything is easy for our Lord. Jesus ever lives to intercede for people and because He does, they are saved to the uttermost. This is Who we are now one with. This personality trait of Jesus is what is greater in us and causes us to be more than conquerors.

Wherefore He is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing He ever liveth to make intercession for them. Hebrews 7:25

My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous: 1 John 2:1

3 For if any person thinks himself to be somebody [too important to condescend to shoulder another’s load] when he is nobody [of superiority except in his own estimation], he deceives and deludes and cheats himself.

Amen, look at what we are told: people cheat themselves if they don’t live to intercede for others. The peace for us is that Jesus will never allow us to be cheated. He will cause us to walk in the Paths of righteousness, because He lives so that we will love others as He loves them.  

I have made Your Name known to them and revealed Your character and Your very Self, and I will continue to make [You] known, that the love which You have bestowed upon Me may be in them [felt in their hearts] and that I [Myself] may be in them. John 17:26

The glorious Truth is that people do not have to accept our intercession for them to receive it. If we forgive their sins, they are forgiven for Christ’s sake, not just for their sakes. They will receive the benefit regardless. How awesome is that? Don’t believe this? Just look at scriptures. Jesus forgave the people who were killing Him on the Cross and they didn’t ask for it or believe it, yet they received it, Luke 23:34. Stephen forgave the people who were stoning Him and they didn’t ask for it or believe it, Acts 7:60. These people were forgiven to satisfy the intense love that our Father has for us, Ephesians 2:4. 

I honestly believe that the Holy Spirit is going to begin to have all of us intercede and forgive people as we never have before and the world will benefit from it. How else will they begin to say peace and safety?

When people are saying, All is well and secure, and, There is peace and safety, then in a moment unforeseen destruction (ruin and death) will come upon them as suddenly as labor pains come upon a woman with child; and they shall by no means escape, for there will be no escape. 1 Thessalonians 5:3
