INTERCESSORY PRAYERS

Lesson 5

Praying in the Spirit “And in the same way the Spirit also helps our weaknesses; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings to deep for words; and he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.” Romans 8:26-27

Standing in the Gap • Abraham, Moses, Samuel, David, Nehemiah , Elijah and Jesus “As for me, far be it that I should sin against the Lord by failing to pray for you.” 1 Samuel 12:23

Personal Intercession “For I know that this shall turn out for my deliverance through your prayers and the provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ.” Philippians 1:19

Fasting “Go assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens alspwill fast in the same way. And thus I will go in to the king; which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish.” Esther 4:16

Prayer for the harvest “And seeing the multitudes, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and downcast like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to his disciples, ‘The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.” Matthew 9:36-38

Prayer for government leaders “I urge then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone – for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all goodness and holiness.“ 1 Timothy 2:1-2

Spiritual Warfare “But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I have been left there with the kings of Persia.” Daniel 10:13

GOD’S SEEKS INTERCESSORS

Lesson 6

Joel 2

GOD’S SEEKS INTERCESSORS “And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor.” Isaiah 59:16 “I chose you, and appointed you, that ye should go and bear fruit; that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it to you.” John 25:16

See the need… • Thirty millions every year passing into the outer darkness without hope. • Fifty million, bearing the Christian name, and the great majority living in utter ignorance and indifference • Churches and mission sacrificing life and labor often with little result • Nations crying out to be released from the pains of poverty and abuse of authority • And so much more…

Look for the only answer… • He is a God who is looking for people who would ‘co-labor’ with Him for His Kingdom to come on the Earth. He is looking for people who would spend time on their knees to seek Him and His kingdom to come. God is looking for the intercessors.

Respond to the call… • It takes one encounter with God to respond to the call like Samuel, Nehemiah, Elijah • It takes daily encounters with God to stay at it.

Use the power… “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, overall the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground. ” Genesis 1:26- 27

Use the power… “And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.” Ephesians 2:6

“I looked for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand before me in the gap on behalf of the land so I would not have to destroy it, but I found none.” Ezekiel 22: 30
