“The Hebrew word for intercession, paga, means ‘to meet.’ As we have
already seen by studying the English word, intercession is not primarily a
prayer a person prays, but something a person does that can be done through
prayer. this is also true in the Hebrew language. Although the word
intercession has come to mean prayer in our minds, its Hebrew word does not necessarily
mean prayer at all. It has many shades of meaning, all of which can be done in
prayer.
Throughout the remainder of the book, {Intercessory
Prayer}, we will look at several of these meanings, then put them into
the context of prayer. As we do, our understanding will increase of what Christ
did for us through His intercession and what our re-presenting of it on the
earth through prayer really entails.
Intercession creates a meeting.
Intercessors meet with God;
they also meet the powers of
darkness. ‘Prayer meetings’ are aptly named!”
