   We say we can pray more intelligently for someone or about some situation when we know more of the details.  Consider that Jesus is praying for each of us with full access to all details.  "__who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us." (Romans 8, v.34)  So to say that Jesus is praying intelligently for each of us would be a grand understatement.  He most certainly is praying intelligently for us, in fact, He is praying ALL-intelligently for us.  He is all-knowing in his personal knowledge of each of us and all-penetrating in the depth of His insight into our hearts and into the nooks and crannies, and crevices of our souls and the perilous places where we tend to get stuck. In the intercessions of Jesus on our behalf, Jesus is continuously getting down to the "real nitty gritty" of our problems and issues, and even our secret joys.  We need to realize that this is going on right now as I write this and right now as you read this; this is going on continually.  What's more, to visualize and imagine it going on and to verbalize and communicate that realization is to mysteriously promote and heighten the effects and results of that intercession, and to somehow even participate in the priestly process!

"Therefore, holy brethren, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession (or profession),___"  (Hebrews Chapter 3 verse 1)
