Intercession?  What is that?

Intercession is defined as an interposing or pleading on behalf of another person, a prayer to God on behalf of another.

An intercessor is one who take the place of another while praying for God.  

While praying for others, an intercessor (someone praying for someone else, on their behalf) may be praying for someone lost, or someone sick, or someone in despair, or someone who needs direction in an area to move forward.  

An intercessor can change the lives of one person or a whole nation just by taking the time to pray guided by the Holy Spirit with understanding of God's Word (His Will) in every situation.  

"...and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."  James 5:16

By being sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit, He will help us pray out God's will in situations in the lives of others, whether we know the other person or not.  

After a while, you will begin to notice that people will come to mind, and you will have an urge, a need to pray for that person.  You may not even know their name.  As you obey and begin to pray according to God's Word a life is changed, a situation altered, a sickness healed, a life spared, and the enemy hindered.

If you are a Christian parent you will know what this is like.  I have heard countless stories where a mother or father knew to stop what they were doing and pray for their child.  As they did, miracles happened.  

The same is true of those who choose to intercede for others.
