     Air is not more necessary to the lungs than
    prayer to the preacher. – E. M. Bounds
     History belonged to the intercessor. – Walter
    Wink
     God’s power is released through intercession.
     Somebody must ‘pray the price’!
     Prayer means talking to God. Intercession is
    coming to God on behalf of another. All
    intercession is prayer, but not all prayer is
    intercession.
     Intercession then is going between or
    standing in the gap.
     Ezekiel 22:30 And I sought a man among
    them who should build up the wall and stand
    in the gap before Me for the land, that I
    should not destroy it, but I found none.
     Intercession is the act of pleading by one who
    in God’s sight has a right to do so in order to
    obtain mercy for one in need.
     The standing of a person before God qualifies
    or disqualifies the potential intercessor.
     Esther is an intercessor.
     Joshua is the general, Moses is the
    intercessor.
     Esther was humble, not arrogant. She was
    submissive to authority. She was tuned in to
    the voice of God and willing to obey what she
    heard even at the risk of her life.
     Stay in tune spiritually!
     A special intimacy with God is high on the
    profile of intercessors!
     The highest rewards of the ministry of
    intercession is to be received in live by the
    Father and to see His power released for
    good through their intercession.
     God will do nothing on earth except in
    answer to believing prayer. – John Wesley
     ..yet He is inactive, as if forgetting us, when
    He sees us idle and mute. – John Calvin
     “You and I can help decide which of these two
    things – blessing or cursing – happens on
    earth. We will determine whether God’s
    goodness is released toward specific
    situations or whether the power of sin and
    Satan is permitted to prevail. Prayer is the
    determining factor.’ – Jack Hayford
     Jer. 15:1 Then the Lord said to me, Though
    Moses and Samuel stood (interceding for
    them) before Me, yet My mind could not be
    turned with favor toward this people (Judah).
    Send them out of My sight and let them go!
     Intercessors are not manipulators of God and
    some things God has set in concrete.
     Exodus 32
     1 Sam. 7
     1 Sam 12:23 Moreover, as for me, far be it
    from me that I should sin against the Lord by
    ceasing to pray for you; but I will instruct you
    in the good and right way. (Amp)
     As for me, far be it from me that I should sin
    against the Lord by failing to pray for you.
    And I will teach you the way that is good and
    right. (NIV)
     Ceasing or failing to pray is sin against the
    Lord!
     Heb. 7:25
     James 5:16
     Love on its Knees by Dick Eastman
     Acts 12
     Paul’s desire for prayer partners
    ◦ 1 Thess. 5:25
    ◦ Rom. 15:30 intercession as partnership (striving
    together) in ministry
    ◦ 2 Cor. 1:11; acts 14:19,20
    ◦ Phils. 1:19
    ◦ Philemon 22
     ‘It is so thrilling for me to do this. When I pray for
    these leaders, I participate with them and along
    with them I receive the blessings of the fruits of
    their ministry.’ John McAlister (Wagner’s
    intercessor)
     Fellowship in the gospel- phil. 1:5
     The power of God is channeled through your
    intercession!
     Intercessory prayer is warfare and the principal
    way in which the warfare is carried on. The
    warfare has to be won first and then worked out
    in practice. – Edwin Stube
     Paul’s prayer partners: Euodia and Syntyche
    (Phils. 4:23)
