What Is Intercessory Prayer?
Intercessory prayer is a powerful form of prayer in which we agree with God for His will to be accomplished. It is praying on behalf of others and for their needs, as well as our own. Intercessory prayer recognizes that God has the power to work in other people’s lives through prayer.
When we pray intercessory prayer, we seek God’s grace and mercy on behalf of someone else. We are asking God to intervene on behalf of another and help them in whatever situation they may be facing.
There are many examples of intercessory prayer in the Bible. For example, in Exodus 32, Moses intercedes on behalf of the Israelites as they continue to rebel against God. He says, “But now, please forgive their sin — but if not, then blot me out of the book you have written.” In this passage, Moses is willing to sacrifice himself in order for God to be merciful towards the Israelites.
Another example of intercessory prayer is found in Daniel 9:20…
