DIFFERENT FORMS OF PRAYER CONTINUE

    • And if you are prepared to be an intercessor, God will lead you step by step, first from the kinder garden of intercession into the preparatory school and then on into high school and university. Do not ever think that intercession is easy.
    • When you are young in the Lord and you say: “Lord, I want to intercede”, God will give you the matters that you can handle.
    • But He longs for those with spiritual capacity or maturity who can really intercede on matters that are vital to His purpose in this world.
    • The common understanding of intercession is simple: it is prayer to God for someone other than ourselves.
    •  The principle of intercession is that we stand between God and another person, representing them and pleading their cause.
    • “Paga” is the Hebrew word which is use for intercession.
    • It carries the meaning of standing between or before and approaching with violence.
    • Intercession is praying at the front line, and that involves pushing back boundary until we reach the limit what we can do in prayer.
    • Paga is used to describe the strongest Old Testament form of asking. It means begging for something which is desperately wanted. In Genesis 23:8, Abraham asked the sons of Heth to paga for a cave. And in Ruth 1:16, Ruth told Naomi not to paga her to turn back.
    • Paga is also used in Judges 8:21; 15:12; 1 Samuel 22:17-18; 2 Samuel 1:15; 1 Kings 2:25.29.34.46 to describe a violent meeting.
    • It shows that intercession is not a cosy, quit activity, it is a violent intervention.
    • The Greek word “enteuxis” is usually translated as intercession in the New Testament. In everyday use, it described a petition to a king about another person, and was absorbed into the church to describe the Old Testament idea of paga praying.
    • The result of the intercession in 1 Timothy 4:5 was total transformation. Food which had been deemed unacceptable became holy, set apart for God. The consecration of the saints should be one aim of intercession. We should engage in intercession to bring about the setting apart of God’s people for useful service.
    • God often replies in ways we do not expect. We intercede with God to do something; and He replies with a command for us to do something. This means that we must listen whilst interceding and be ready to receive our instructions from God.
    • Intercession is the natural expression of a life filled to overflowing with the love of God. In John 13:34-35, Jesus taught that we should love one another in the same way as He had loved us. Today, He expresses His love for us by interceding for us. Therefore, if we are to love in His way, intercession must be a priority in our lives.
    • This intercession of love has a side-effect. As we pray for others to changed, we changed ourselves. The scriptural principle “Those who forgive others themselves receive forgiveness” applies in intercession. As we pour out our lives in heavenly love and holy intercession, so we are cleansed, purified and renewed.
    • The discipline of intercession brings an inevitable control upon our tongue. As we intercede for God to bless others, to fill them with the knowledge of His love, to deliver them from imprisoning circumstances, so these thoughts become our natural attitudes and wishes for others.
