#28 INTERCESSION: by pastor Tshepiso Mokoena

Shammah Urban Church

The prayer of intercession “Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart,” Luke 18:1 NKJV When we intercede it requires us To have a constant posture to pray always. “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.” Romans 8:26 NKJV The Spirit of God tells or directs us on who to pray for. The bible says we don’t know how we ought to pray. It is the Spirit of God that make us pray accurately. He informs our Spirits on how to pray. Intercession is standing in the gap for someone else. We excused our prayer lists and pray for other people . Intercession takes out selfishness in us. Intercession is standing in a gab as a bridge. “You have not gone up into the gaps or breaches, nor built the wall around the house of Israel that it might stand in the battle on the day of the LORD.” Ezekiel 13:5 AMP We all have to stand for one another ( in the bridge) Always pray for your local church, and every part of your church leaders. List the names of your church’s pastor(s), ministry leaders (e.g., elders, deacons, Sunday school teachers, (The Joy bunch), church workers and their spouses and children. List other members of your church who especially are in need of prayer
