Wednesday, September 15, 2010 Led by Dennis Jeffries (Thank you, Carol, for supplying the notes.) Exodus 32:7-14   -  Moses intercedes for the children on Israel and God repents of the evil he intended for them 1 Samuel 1:9  -  Hannah interceded for a son. Job 1:5  -  Job interceded for the sins that his children might have committed James 5:16  -  confess your faults and pray for one another Ezekiel 14:12-22  -  Even Noah, Daniel, and Job wouldn't be able to save this people from God's wrath Jeremiah 15:1  -  Moses and Samuel can't intercede for these people Unfortunately, too many Christians don't think that this applies to them... that it's just the world. They forget all the times that God punishes his chosen people... and they just think that it was the Israelites that did those things... not us today.
