Prayer Of Intercession Is Standing In The Gap, With Love, Being On Our Knees, And Interrupt The Process Of Satan.
When I Intercede for others, I sometimes imagine myself, or my children in the same situation, then I begin to Travail 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)
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 ; SEND ME (Isaiah 6:8)
We as Saints of God are to Stand In The Gap, and Intercede for our Land, and, 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 complexities of life. We can travail Fervently, Consistently, and with an Insistent Prayer until a Breakthrough takes place in their lives.
Sometimes we may have to make sacrifices to answer the call of God, but the Blessings are greater than the sacrifices when we are obedient to God.
The greatest Intercessor was Jesus as He was on the Cross for the sins of the world, He Prayed “Father, Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do.” He was ridiculed, spat upon, mocked, and beaten, and He suffered, and died that we may live. He is now at the right hand of the Father making Intercession for the Saints, pleading our cause to the Heavenly Father.
We also recognize the Power of Intercessory Prayer when Peter, one of Christ Disciples, was in jail. The church was Praying Collectively to God without ceasing for Peter. While they were Praying the Lord Dispatched an Angel where Peter was being held Captive, Loosed the Chains, and Delivered Peter out of Prison. Matthew 18:19 says, ” if any two of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in Heaven”.
If we come in agreement in Prayer, the Lord will Dispatch an Angel, and Loose whatever Chains are keeping us Bound, and holding us Hostage. The Lord will Loose the Bondage of Discouragement, Distress, Fear, Depression, etc.
“LET US CONTINUE TO INTERCEED (PRAY) FOR THE LAND, AND OTHERS”
