Intercession is basically the act of interceding between two or more parties. This could include prayers, petitions, or an entreaty requesting the favor of someone. I remember when I was young, two of my friends were about to get into a fight and I tried to intercede on behalf of one of my friends who was being falsely accused by someone else and m...
When the nation of Judah was living in great sin, God told Jeremiah “do not pray for this people, or lift up a cry or prayer for them, and do not intercede with me, for I will not hear you” (Jer 7:16). Why would God tell Jeremiah not to pray for Judah? It was because God was about to discipline the nation and send them into captivity for their own ...
Sometimes when I am praying, I may not even know how to put it into words, but the Spirit does and He helps me just as Paul writes about in Romans 8:26, writing, “Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words,” and so the Holy...
Jeremiah wrote that “If they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, then let them intercede with the Lord of hosts, that the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, in the house of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem may not go to Babylon”(Jer 27:18), so there was hope for those left in Judah after the captivity of most of ...
Paul requested“that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people” (1 Tim 2:1), but there is another One Who intercedes on our behalf before the Father, and it is Jesus Christ, and “Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, since he always lives to make intercession f...
Jesus’ atoning death at Calvary bridged the gap that only the cross of Christ could bridge (Acts 4:12). If not for His sinless life, death, and resurrection, we’d still have the wrath of God abiding on us (John 3:36b) and would die in our sins, and we’d have nothing but a hopeless, Christ-less eternity ahead of us (Rev 20:12-15), so I plead with yo...
The Bible reveals that intercession is performed by the Holy Spirit, Christ, and Christians. Romans 8:26-27 shows that the Holy Spirit works to sustain the burdened believer, to intercede to carry even inexpressible prayers to God.
International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia. Intercession: in-ter-sesh'-un (pagha‘, "to make intercession"; originally "to strike upon," or "against"; then in a good sense, "to assail anyone with petitions," "to urge," and when on behalf of another, "to intercede" ( Ru 1:16; Jer 7:16; 27:18; Job 21:15; Ge 23:8; Isa 53:12; Jer 36:25 ).
Intercession is thus to be regarded: (1) as the spontaneous act of man for his fellowman; (2) the official act of developed sacerdotalism; (3) the perfecting of the natural movement of humanity, and the typified function of priesthood in the intercession of Christ and the Holy Spirit. 1.
