Prevail in Prayer of Intercession

Hello there,

Ever wonder what intercession really means? It's like being a bridge for someone else, stepping in to plead on their behalf. And who better to show us how it's done than Jesus himself? Picture this: even while hanging on the cross, surrounded by the very people who put him there, Jesus chose to intercede for them. He prayed, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do" (Luke 23:34).

Imagine that level of compassion—asking for forgiveness for those causing him pain, seeing beyond their actions to their ignorance.

Now, some might see forgiveness as a sign of weakness, but let's get real—it's anything but that. It's a mighty form of strength. Jesus, in his moment of agony, wasn't looking for revenge; he was pleading for mercy, hoping to save people from the consequences of their actions. He wasn't just throwing out a casual prayer; he was engaging in intercessory prayer, standing in the gap with a heart full of love.

And here's something to chew on: the folks Jesus was praying for weren't just lacking in everyday knowledge. They were missing out on revelation knowledge—the deep, spiritual insights that can only come from above. It's a reminder that we need more than just our smarts to navigate life; we need spiritual intelligence too.

When you hit a crisis, it's easy to feel beaten down or overwhelmed. But here's a game-changer: submit to God. Stay connected, resist the negativity, whether it's from outside forces or your own inner turmoil. When you do, those negative vibes have no choice but to back off.

So, what's the move? Choose intercession over oppression or depression.

Whether it's for healing, freedom, restoration, our families, our communities, the economy, our leaders, or our nations—intercessory is necessary! It's about standing in the gap, especially when times get tough.
