71. (Jesus speaking:) Do you know the beauty of intercession? I have said, "Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." My loves, now I tell you that greater beauty does not exist than this, that one pour out his heart and soul in intercessory prayer.
72. This is the beauty of intercession: to plead for another, to petition Me on behalf of one who doesn't have strength or courage to pray for himself; to intervene for one in need; to approach My throne on behalf of one who has no understanding, or may not know what to ask for himself; to work miracles for one who is in need of healing; to make requests for those who are in need of protection and safekeeping; to provide for another, to supply one's needs through your prayers; to solicit help from the spirit world; to release power; to deliver strength and courage; to lift burdens and liberate captives; to give comfort and spread peace; to prevent disaster; to ward off evil; to build strong walls; to raise force fields; to win battles and claim victories; to stand victorious and triumphant. This is the beauty of intercessory prayer.
73. I call you, My loves, to be My intercessors. A higher calling than this cannot be had, for those who intercede in prayer change the course of history. They hold the future in their hands. These who answer the call, I will crown with great honor and glory. There is no greater beauty than to pour out your heart and soul, to lay down your life in prayer for another. (End of message from Jesus.)

What a challenge...Lord help me to live up to it!
Yeah I know, it is kind of a vague concept, "to lay down your life for your brother" but when you actually put it into everyday life terms, it is a lot harder to live up to. Like if someone needs you to do the dishes for them, sacrifice your free time to help out on something, or even some crazy thing like go without sleeping for a week to help them out...all of that is a lot less that DIEING for them, but it is really hard and goes against our human nature. Oh well Lord, please help us to be more like you, to be new bottles and really give our lives for our brethren and the lost. Help us to always keep in mind the way to spell JOY, and to always put you and the needs of others first before our own. We call on Aphrodite, the Cathars, the KOT fighters and all of the spirit help that you can send us so that we can have an awesome change in our selfish mindsets. I call on the keys of Brotherhood, of love, of happiness and contentment so that we can be happy living and sacrificing for you, and also to really have a glory in the thing we do! I love you Jesus, you rock my boat!
