Worship Devotion
(Colossians 3:5-8 – Consecration and Purity)
Called to Be Set Apart
“Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry.” – Colossians 3:5
Holiness is not legalism—it is the natural response to encountering a holy God. Intercessors cannot be effective if they are compromised by sin. Holiness is a requirement for walking in spiritual authority (Hebrews 12:14).
Why Holiness Matters in Intercession
- Sin Weakens Our Authority – The enemy thrives where there is unrepented sin. If an intercessor is spiritually compromised, their prayers lack power (Isaiah 59:1-2).
- Holiness is Our Protection – A life of purity keeps us spiritually covered. Without it, we are exposed to unnecessary spiritual warfare (Ephesians 6:14).
- A Holy Vessel Carries God’s Power – God chooses pure vessels for greater spiritual assignments (2 Timothy 2:21).
Application for Intercessors
- Repent Daily and Live in Holiness – Ask the Ruach HaKodesh to reveal anything that needs to be surrendered (Psalm 139:23-24).
- Intercede for Holiness in the Church – Many in the Body of Messiah are compromised with the world—pray for a return to holiness (1 Peter 1:15-16).
- Pray for Leaders to Walk in Purity – The enemy targets spiritual leaders—intercede for their strength against temptation (James 3:1).
Prayer for Intercessors
“Yeshua, I surrender to Your refining fire. Purify my heart and cleanse my life. I pray for Your Church—let us walk in holiness and not be defiled by the world. Protect our spiritual leaders, and let righteousness be restored. May we be vessels fit for Your glory. Amen.”
