Intercession

Intercession

My Question for God

Does it really make a difference when others pray for me or I pray for others?

A Moment with God

Abraham said, “Lord, please don’t be angry with me if I speak one more time. Suppose only ten are found there?” And the LORD replied, “Then I will not destroy it for the sake of the ten.”

Genesis 18:32

While Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.

Acts 12:5

You are helping us by praying for us.

2 Corinthians 1:11

Intercessory prayer—praying for the needs of others—is one of the most effective tools believers have for helping each other. It is easy to become discouraged if you think there is nothing you can do to help someone you care about. But the most important thing you can do for others, and others can do for you, is to pray. Paul was convinced that the Corinthians’ prayers were vitally connected to his deliverance by God. As the believers were holding an all-night prayer meeting, God sent an angel to rescue Peter from prison. And Abraham interceded effectively for an entire city. In ways beyond our understanding, intercessory prayer is a channel for the love and power of God, and it creates a deep bond of fellowship between human beings as well.

Divine Promise

The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results.

James 5:16
