Prayer of Intercession is standing in the gap interrupting the process of satin, being on our knees, as we show love, and identifying ourselves with the problems of others.
When I intercede for others, I sometimes imagine myself or my children in that same position; then I find myself travailing in prayer for that person or persons, pleading on their behalf (standing in the gap).
And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none (Ezekiel 22:30)
We as saints of God are to stand in the gap, and intercede for someone else. Once we have been converted, we are to strengthen our brothers and help bear the infirmities of those who are weak-those who are weak in faith, burdened, and discouraged from the cares, and complexities of life. We can travail fervently, consistently, and with an insistent Prayer until a breakthrough takes place in their lives.
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I Lord; send me. ( Isaiah 6:8)
