INTERCESSORY PRAYER
WHAT IS INTERCESSION?
Intercession is prayer that pleads with God for your needs and the needs of others. But it is also much more than that. Intercession involves taking hold of God's will and refusing to let go until His will comes to pass.
Intercession is warfare -- the intercessory prayer team meets each Monday evening at 6:00pm to wage warfare for the people of the Church, the Nation, the State and the local governments. See (Eph. 6:12).
ARMED FOR BATTLE
Intercessory prayer is a serious matter. And just like soldiers who are preparing for battle, we cannot take on the enemy if we leave our weapons behind. That's why we must go into "battle" armed for spiritual conflict (see 2 Cor. 10:3,4).
PERSISTING IN BATTLE
Intercessory prayer is also prayer that doesn't give up. It's the kind of prayer that endures all setbacks and overcomes every obstacle. It's prayer that "presses on" until we "apprehend" God's will in whatever situation we are facing (see Phil. 3:12, KJV).
JOINING THE BATTLE
The intercessory prayer group is open to all who wish to join in the battle. God is not looking for perfect prayer warriors, just willing hearts who want to see His will come to pass on the earth. All you have to do is turn to the Lord in prayer and we know that when multitudes pray things do happen.
