DEFINING INTERCESSION: PRAYER NOTE # 13

    “According to Webster, intercede  means ‘to go or pass between; to act between parties with a view to reconcile those who differ or contend; to mediate or make intercession; mediation.


     As can be clearly seen from these definitions, the concept of intercession can be summarized as mediating, going between, pleading for another, representing one party to another for, but not limited to, legal situations.


     Intercession happens in our courts daily with lawyers interceding for clients…It involves delegation. It involves authority. It boils down to representation…God told Adam what He wanted and Adam re-presented Him to the rest of the earth. Adam was a go-between for God. Literally, Adam was God’s intercessor or mediator on the earth.”


Prayer Note # 13  DEFINING INTERCESSION - Taken from Dutch Sheets’ book, Intercessory Prayer  (pgs 37, 38)  

“Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in your prayers to God for me.”  (Ro. 15:30)
