The
dictionary speaks of intercession as “the act of interceding, meditation,
pleading, or Prayer on behalf of another.” Intercession is prayer offered
for others as directed by the Holy Spirit.
Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
An intercessor stands in the gap, as the word of God says, someone who will “ stand in the gap” " Ezekiel 22:30)
God is searching for those who will be intercessors, for those who can actually change the news to the glory of God, change life’s situations, circumstances and people through their fervent, upright prayers. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. James 5:16
God has given us the authority through Jesus (the anointed one) and his anointing to change circumstances and the devils work through intercession. When you enter into the Holy of Holies and fellowship with the Father, The Holy Spirit leads you and shows you what needs to be done in prayer, be obedient. When you are obedient, dynamic and powerful things happen in the spiritual realm. You can destroy the devils work
Whenever the Holy Spirit brings something to your spirit to pray, be sure to speak it out .
As you enter into His presence, start worshipping and praising Him, and then ask the Holy Spirit to show you what is on the Fathers heart to pray. Wait upon Him to guide you in what to pray.
The Holy Spirit may bring an individuals name to someone in the group to pray for or He may tell you to pray for a certain nation that may be having trouble. These are just examples. The main thing is to let the Holy Spirit show you. When we try to pray without His directions, we are praying less than His will. It is usually our desires or religious ideas. God knows all things, He is Omniscient, so He knows what needs to be set in motion through prayer. Be obedient.
Sometimes the Holy Spirit will wake you up at night to pray. Be obedient. You may be saving a life in another country. There is no distance in prayer in the spirit, which is where prayer works.
Here are some scriptures to meditate on

God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.
Rom 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Father, I pray that all those that read this teaching on Intercession will get the divine revelation of interceding and I pray that the spirit of intercession come upon them and they allow the Holy Spirit to lead them in what to pray for the people.
I
pray that their hearts will burn with desire to pray for The Body Of Christ to
be in perfect unity, with one mind and on one accord.
I pray that they will get the understanding of how prayer changes things and
that before they pray that they will get set free of all unforgiveness and
that they will get the desire to walk in your Love, the agape love and that
they will receive the complete understanding of who they are in you.
I pray that they will get the understanding of how prayer changes things and
that before they pray that they will get set free of all unforgiveness and
that they will get the desire to walk in your Love, the agape love and that
they will receive the complete understanding of who they are in you.
I pray that they receive the understanding that we are new creatures in Christ
and that old things have passed away and all things have become new. 2
COR:5:17. Father, I know that I pray prayers of faith, believing that I
receive what I pray for, so I consider this prayer answered in the name of
JESUS.
We are all one body, The Body Of Christ, but many members, so pray these prayers for the Body. We may not see these things with our natural eyes, but we have to see it through the eyes of faith. We call those things that be not as though they are. Faith is Now!!!

will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; and we walk worthy of the Lord
unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the
knowledge of God; we are strengthened with all might, according to your
glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; and we
give thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the
inheritance of the saints in light, and has delivered us from the power of
darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son, in whom we
have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: We thank you
Father that The Body Of Christ does continue in the faith grounded and

heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; In
Jesus Name.

glory of his inheritance in the saints, and the exceeding greatness of his
power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at
his own right hand in the heavenly places and far above all principality, and
power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this
world, but also in that which is to come: In Jesus Name!!!
Scripture Reference: Ephesians 3: 16-20
Thank You Father that according to the riches of your glory, the Body Of
Christ has been strengthened with might by your Spirit in the inner man; and
that Christ does dwell in our hearts by faith; and we are rooted and grounded
in love, and able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and
length, and depth, and height of the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge,
and we are filled with all the fullness of God.
Father we thank you for doing exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or
think, according to the power that worketh in us. We give you glory, praise
and honor, in Jesus name.
Scripture Reference: Ephesians 4:13-16
Father, we thank You that the Body Of Christ has come to the unity of the
faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the
measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, and we are not children
tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the
sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
we speak the truth in love, and have grown up into him in all things, which is
the head, even Christ, from whom the whole body is fitly joined together and
compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual
working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the
edifying of itself in love. We give you all the glory, Father. In Jesus Name!!
Scripture Reference: Philippians 1: 9-11& 2: 2& 3

We let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind, we esteem our brothers and sisters more highly than ourselves; therefore our joy is full and we are like-minded, having the same love, being on one accord and of one mind. In Jesus Name!! Amen
Different types of prayer has been added on 10-07-02
1 Tim 2:1-3 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
Types of Prayer
Psa 37:5 Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
We must first commit our lives to the Lord. When we do that we are casting our cares up to Him. 1 Pet 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Say this prayer
I am praying right now Father and believing that You have strengthened and enabled me to do what You have called me to do, so I cast this situation on you God. Whatever evil, wicked and perverted thing that the devil is trying to tell me that is going to happen is Your problem Father and not mine, because I am going to do what You have told me to do and leave the rest to You.
Rom 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
When we give something to God in prayer that is a prayer of consecration or dedication. In essence we are saying I give you all my money, my time and my mind or whatever He is telling us to give. When we give, dedicate, and consecrate to the Lord our bodies, and all our members, for His use, we are giving our reasonable service and worship.
Heb 13:15 By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
Praise is remembering His goodness and His faithfulness. It is telling Him of all the good things He has done for you.
Worship is adoring Him, ministering to Him and spending time to be intimate with Him. It is recognizing Him for who He is and what He is. When we worship Him we enter into His glory and come to a place that we only are thinking of Him. We are not after what is in His hand; we are there to glorify Him.
We are to be thankful to God always, continually acknowledging Him, confessing and glorifying His name in praise and worship
1 Th 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
1 Th 5:18 In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.
No matter what are circumstances are, we are to continuously give thanks to Him , because it is the will of God for us to do so.
True thanksgiving flows continually out of a heart that is full of gratitude and praise to God for who He is as much as what He does.

calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,
and what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe,
according to the working of his mighty power, which he wrought in Christ, when
he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly
places, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and
every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to
come:
Father, I thank You that because of Jesus we are living and walking in the light as he (Jesus) is in the Light. We have true unbroken fellowship with one another and the blood of Jesus Christ, God's Son cleanses (removes) us from all sin and guilt, and keeps us cleansed from sin in all it's forms and manifestations. 1 John 1:7
Psalm 136:3 O give thanks to the Lord of lords: for his mercy endureth for ever.
More will be coming as the Holy Spirit leads
For The Word that God speaks is alive and full of power-making it active, operative, energizing and effective; it is sharper than any two edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and {the immortal} spirit, and of joints and marrow {that is, of the deepest parts of our nature} exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart.

The one who fears is not made perfect in love." 1 John 4:19 "We love because he first loved us." 1 John 4:20 "If anyone says, "I love God," yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen." 1 John 4:21 "And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother."
If we would all meditate on the scriptures above and get them way down in our hearts and do them, all walls of division would come down. That is how Jesus did what he did for us. It was because of his love for us.
I hope you will be blessed by these scriptures as I was.
Pray to the Father and ask him to change you, so that you can walk in the same love he did. This would delight him. Get an intimate relationship with him and you will become a different person.
(Scriptures are Quoted from the NIV of the Bible.)
If you feel that your prayers are not being answered, please read these scriptures and then search your heart to see if there is anyone you have not forgiven in your past, present or future. If there is, you must forgive them. The same way God gives us grace (unmerited favor) (something we don't deserve) we also must do the same to people in our lives that have hurt us.
As you forgive, a great peace will come over you and the stronghold that has kept your prayers from being answered will be gone, in the name of Jesus.
If this is hard for you, call on Jesus and he will teach you how. He is always there, just call on him.

What a Friend we have in Jesus
Have you ever felt that no one cares about you or understands you?
Have you ever looked for that unconditional love and it seems to always to leave you hurt and brokenhearted, depressed and alone?
Have you ever needed to be comforted and no one was there?
Have the cares of this world just left you empty and lost?
Have you ever felt that things were so bad that was no where to turn?
There is an answer…but it is not of this world!
His name is Jesus. He is everything that we have never received this world now of the worlds system. Jesus cares about you regardless what you have been or what you have done. He loves us with a love far greater than you can imagine. Its called 'Agape' love. He laid down His life for us. You can tell Him your deepest darkest secrets and He will always listen. Even though He already knows.
Stop looking in the world. Call upon the name of Jesus and confess that He is the Lord of your life and believe that He died on the cross to save us from our sins and He will gladly come into your heart. Zeph. 3:17 "The Lord thy god in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will rejoice over thee with singing." Ps. 37:4 "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." Ps. 37:5 "Commit thy unto the Lord; trust also in him and he shall bring it to pass."
Matthew 6:33 "…but seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you…" John 15:7 "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you." John 15:9 "As the father hath loved me, so have I loved you; continue ye in my love." John 15:13 "Greater love hath no man than this; that a man lay down his life for his friends." John 15:14 "Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you…"
John 14:16 " …and I will pray the father, and he shall give you another comforter that he may abide with you forever." John 14:18 "I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you."
1 John 2:1-2 "My little children, these thing write I unto you, that ye sin not and if any man sin, we have an advocate with the father, Jesus Christ, the righteous. And he is the propitiation [(atonement) (paid the price)] for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the world."
Jesus gives us the peace that you will never experience in this world. John 14:27 "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." John 16:33 "These things I have spoke unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulations but be of good cheer: I have overcome the world."
Joy in the world is not true joy that is only temporary. Did you know that the devil hate to see us smiling, laughing, and happy? When the devil sees this action he gets worried. But, if the devil can't steal your joy, he cannot keep your goods. John 15:1 "These have I spoken to you, that my joy remain in you, and that your joy might be full." Jesus said, in John 16:22, "And ye now therefor have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you."
Now that you read about what a friend Jesus is to us, don't you want Him to be your friend? Just ask Him and He will be.
I know you're probably thinking, what's the catch or the cost…because nothing is free. Get out of the world's way of thinking. The only thing it will cost you is to spend time with Him fellowshipping, praising, worshiping, loving Him and meditating on His Word. You may loose some of your friends of the world (praise God) but you will receive from Him all things that you need.
Now that you have received Jesus go get yourself a Bible and read the red. That is Jesus speaking to you. Be prepared. You have become a child of God and heir of His kingdom. Your life will never be the same. Hallelujah!
