1 Timothy 2
1First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, 2for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. 3This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Saviour, 4who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth
Today we will focus on intercession, as we can see with the above scripture quoted, it is God's will to intercede.
What is intercession?
Intercession is prayer that pleads with God for your needs and the needs of others. But it is also much more than that. Intercession involves taking hold of God's will and refusing to let go until His will comes to pass.
Intercession is warfare -- the key to God's battle plan for our lives. But the battleground is not of this earth. The Bible says, "We are not fighting against humans. We are fighting against forces and authorities and against rulers of darkness and spiritual powers in the heavens above" (Eph. 6:12).
Intercessory prayer takes place in this spiritual world where the battles for our own lives, our families, our friends and our nation are won or lost.
I pray God will give you a deep desire to pray and intercede for others. I pray he will give you the mantles, anointing and power to do all he asks. We need "watchmen on the walls" and while you are praying please remember to say a prayer for me (hopefully daily).
I have added a powerful sermon here on the blessings of intercession.
It is truly an eye opener.
Bless you my friends
Walk good in Christ
Till we meet again
