Intercession Of The Saints by Marioplus(m): 2:59pm On Jan 14, 2017
INTERCESSION OF THE SAINTS
Let us go, therefore, with confidence to the throne of grace: that we may obtain mercy, and find grace in seasonable aid. ( Hebrews 4:16)
One may pretend to prove from the text above that we need no help of saints to obtain any favour. But by this argument he may as well take away the helps and prayers of the living for one another. For we do not require the help of either the saints in heaven, or of our brethren on earth, through any mistrust of God's mercy, BUT ON ACCOUNT OF OUR OWN UNWORTHINESS, CONVINCED THAT THE PRAYER OF A JUST MAN AVAILETH MORE WITH GOD, THAN THE DESIRE OF A GRIEVOUS SINNER; AND OF A NUMBER MAKING INTERCESSION TOGETHER, RATHER THAN OF ONE ALONE. This no one can deny, except he deny the holy Scriptures. Neither do we come less to Him, or with less confidence, when we come accompanied with the prayers of Angels, saints, priests, or just men, with us, as one may fondly imagine and pretend; but with much more confidence in His grace, mercy, and merits, than if we prayed ourselves alone. (Bristow)

THERE IS NO ARGUMENT ABOUT IT, THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS WERE CLEARLY STIPULATED IN HEAVEN BY JOHN THE APOSTLE IN THE REVELATION JESUS CHRIST GAVE HIM AND THE EFFECTS OF THE PRAYERS OF THE SAINTS IN HEAVEN ARE FELT BY EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING ON THE EARTH thus "Another angel came and stood at the altar. He had a golden censer, and much incense was given to him, so that he might add it to the PRAYERS of ALL the SAINTS on the GOLDEN ALTAR in FRONT of the THRONE. And the smoke and fragrant aroma of the incense, with the PRAYERS of the SAINTS, ASCENDED before GOD from the ANGEL'S HAND. So the ANGEL took the CENSER and FILLED IT with FIRE from the ALTAR, and THROW IT to the EARTH; and there were PEALS of THUNDER and LOUD RUMBLINGS and SOUNDS and FLASHES of LIGHTNING and an EARTHQUAKE" {Rev.8:3-5}
