INTERCESSIONS
Then falling on his knees, he cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not hold this sin against them!” Having said this, he fell asleep.
Acts 7:60
Main Text: Daniel 9; 2-23
The prayer of intercession is the kind of prayer prayed on behalf of others. God has called the Body of Christ to the ministry of intercession. God does not do anything on the earth without the cooperation of a man. He intends that we work together with Him to accomplish His will. Man is still in authority in the earth, God put him in that position. Genesis 1:28 “Then God blessed them, and God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth." (NKJV) read also Psalm 115:16.
The role of mediator in prayer was prevalent in the Old Testament. Jesus is the ultimate Intercessor, and because of this, all Christian prayer becomes intercession since it is offered to God through and by Jesus.
Jesus closed the gap when He died on the cross, and because of that, we have a man in the Godhead constantly interceding on our behalf. 1 Timothy 2:5 “For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus.” (KJV) Romans 8:34 “Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised— who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us.” (ESV)
Confession: I declare in the name of Jesus, I am an intercessory, I am a soul winner, I am a person after God’s heart, I am prosperous, I am blessed! I walk in the newness of life, glory to God I am blessed.
