Sermon: The Power of
Intercessory Prayer
Scripture: Exodus 32:7-14
Exodus 32:7-14 ( NASB )
7 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, “Go down at
once, for your people, whom you brought up
from the land of Egypt, have
corrupted themselves.
8 “They have quickly turned aside from the way
which I commanded them. They have made for
themselves a molten calf, and have worshiped it
and have sacrificed to it and said, ‘This is your
god, O Israel, who brought you up from the
land of Egypt!’”
9 The LORD said to Moses, “I have seen this
people, and behold, they are an obstinate
people.
Exodus 32:7-14 ( NASB )
10 “Now then let Me alone, that My anger may
burn against them and that I may destroy
them; and I will make of you a great nation.”
11 Then Moses entreated the LORD his God, and
said, “O LORD, why does Your anger burn
against Your people whom You have brought out
from the land of Egypt with great power and
with a mighty hand?
Exodus 32:7-14 ( NASB )
12 “Why should the Egyptians speak, saying, ‘With
evil intent He brought them out to kill them in
the mountains and to destroy them from the
face of the earth’? Turn from Your burning
anger and change Your mind about doing harm
to Your people.
13 “Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your
servants to whom You swore by Yourself, and
said to them, ‘I will multiply your descendants
as the stars of the heavens, and all this land of
which I have spoken I will give to your
descendants, and they shall inherit it
forever.’”
Exodus 32:7-14 ( NASB )
14 So the LORD changed His mind about the harm
which He said He would do to His people.

gifts to your children, how much more will your
heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those
who ask Him?”

perish.”
