The Power of Intercession
Intercession is one of the most astonishing privileges God gives His people. Scripture never portrays prayer as whispering into a void or trying to get heaven’s attention. Instead, intercession is pictured as partnership — the living God inviting His sons and daughters to participate in His will being done on earth.
Paul writes, “We are God’s fellow workers” (1 Cor. 3:9). Think about that.Your prayers are not a polite courtesy to God — they are weapons, bridges, and channels through which His power flows.
When you intercede for someone — a child, a nation, a prodigal, a broken marriage, a hostile culture — you’re not trying to bail out the ocean with an eyedropper. You are aligning with the Almighty. You are stepping into a role of spiritual governance He designed for His children.
God could act alone. But He dignifies us by saying:
“Ask of Me…” (Psalm 2:8).
“Call upon Me…” (Jeremiah 33:3).
“You have not because you ask not.” (James 4:2).
When a child of God - through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ - truly prays, heaven moves.
DIGGING DEEPER
Scriptures to study:
Exodus 32:7–14 — Moses stands in the breach, and God responds.
Daniel 9 — Intercession shaped by Scripture and repentance.
Luke 18:1–8 — Jesus insists on persistent prayer.
Ephesians 6:18 — Warfare intercession for all the saints.
Colossians 4:12 — Epaphras “wrestling” in prayer for others.
Questions for meditation:
What burden has God placed on your heart lately?
Where might He be inviting you to “stand in the gap”?
Is there a person or situation you’ve stopped
praying for — and should resume?
How does it change your view of intercession to see it as partnership instead of pleading?
Journal prompt: “Lord, whom are You calling me to intercede for today — and how can I pray according to Your Word and Your heart?”
*Interested in knowing how to enter into a personal relationship with God through faith in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ? Say a Salvation Prayer and Receive Jesus Christ Today. Of course, the saying of a prayer is the reflection of a monumental and life-changing heart decision, but this is a good guide.
