Intercession

What is intercessory prayer? Just imagine a common christian man that comes along and he feels a burden and takes a position before God about another person, group, or country. Then stays before God about that burden and not to hold that person, group, or country accountable. To pray constant in the present of God, and takes upon himself the burden in tears and repentance until the people are brought back to humility and repentance. Also to stay before God in prayer for healing, for wisdom, for any other burden that is laid upon his heart. To put himself in the place of that person, group, or country. To ask God to forgive that person. Let's look who has done intercessors. Abraham did somewhat Genesis 18:21-32 Where Abraham asked the Lord several times face to face, if He would destroy the righteous with the wicked? Not once but six times and the Lord could not even find one person in the city of Sodom & Gomorrah. Moses did Exodus 32:32 Yet now, if You will forgive their sin-- but if not, I pray, blot me out of Your book which You have written. Moses didn't want any part of heaven without his people there. Paul did Romans 9:3 For I could wish that I myself were accursed from Christ for my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh And Jesus did When you intercede for somebody, you're actual standing in for that person in prayer. Sometimes when you pray like this you may not know what to pray for. As the Spirit gives utterance you pray. Your there for that person asking God to Help. You pray before the Throne of God to get the answer that is needed. This would be called praying through. Now Jesus stood in the gap for us before the Throne And Jesus never gave up. So you need to pray for your loved ones, friends, people that God lays on your heart. When you just get a name pray for that person. That God's Will will be done, even for strength. And you can find God's Will in the Bible. Pray this away for our unsaved loved one and people I know that turned there back on God. When something happen to a person a lot of times that person is to close to what is going on and cannot see the truth. You will find that truth in the Word of God. Pray with confidence, pray with assurance, pray with the knowledge of God. When Jesus was in the garden He sweat-ed blood, He groaned unto God, He knew what to say but words could not explain or feel what He had felt. He cried for Lazarus. He felt the pain. And when we pray for a person we feel their pain, their sins, because we love them. We are standing in that gap for that person. SO STAND AMEN & AMEN so, be it Rev. Londa
