Genesis 18:20-33 We see God ready to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah

V24 Abraham begins to intercede for the cities. In verse 32 he gets all the way down to 10 righteous men and God says He will not destroy it if there are 10. But there were not even 10. But in Chapter 19 we see He still sends Angels into the city to get the 4 righteous people out of there. If Abraham had not interceded, Lot would have been destroyed with the rest.

Exodus 32:11-13 Moses intercedes for Israel. He continues in the chapter to intercede to the point that he is willing to be blotted out of the book for their sake.

Joshua 7:6-9 Joshua intercedes for his people

II Chron. 30:17-20 Hezekiah intercedes for the people because of their sin and God healed them

Daniel 9:3, 17 Daniel sets himself to fast and seek the Lord. V20-27 the answer comes, an angel is sent.

John 17:1-26 Jesus intercedes for His disciples and for all that will believe on Him.

Study and meditate on this prayer and see what He prayed and know He never had an unanswered prayer. This is what He wants for us.

Eph. 1:16-23, 3:14-19 Paul prayed this for the Christians at Ephesus. We can pray this for people now.

Who Do We Intercede For?

1) Those in authority I Tim. 2:1-4 This includes, pastors, mayors, teachers, principals, Prime Ministers, Presidents, Kings, Queens. Anyone in authority over you and others. Jer. 29:7, Rom. 13:1-7, Titus 3:1, Ez. 22:30,

3) All saints Eph. 6:18, Gal. 6:2, I Cor. 12:26, Col. 1:9, Eph. 1:16-18, Eph. 3:14-21

4) Your church. Pray for members collectively and individually. Pray for leaders in your church.

5) Ministers of the Gospel. Eph. 6:19, Col. 4:3

We are in a warfare in the spiritual realm. Eph. 6:12, II Cor. 10:3-5, Dan. 10:12, I Tim. 6:12

Always attack in the spirit realm, never in the flesh. Paralyse Satan and the people will turn around. Always pray the word. Be positive and the end results and then pray in tongues.

 

The Blessings of Intercession

1) The first blessing involves the law of sowing and reaping. If you give your time in intercession for others, God will have people interceding for you and your loved ones Gal. 6:7-9
