STRATEGIC INTERCESSION
The High Priest, Priests and Moses formed the inner Circle of Intercessors and upon the system of the principles of the Prophetic and Priestly function the Children of Israel won every battle.
But when the accursed thing came into the camp, that system could not transmit the influence of Victory, therefore, the priest and prophet could not intercede, therefore Israel lost.
In Intercession, there are laws and principles and we enter into the spirit realm, we are subjected to the governance of these principles.
Intercession ignites the will of God to save a nation, and invokes the power of salvation - (Daniel 9, Isa 62:6-7-12); and appeases God’s anger - (Deut 9:20). Hence, intercession reasons with God why he should spear the people- (Deut 9:26-29).
Isaiah 59:16, "And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor:"
Therefore, it is commanded in 1 Timothy 2:1, "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men.".
INTERCESSORS
Intercessors are not just prayer warriors, but they are vessels who are receptors to the burden of God, infused with divine abilities to translate this burden into the form of prayers, supplications, groanings and travails.
There are people who pray very well and deep but cannot understand the burden because the burden of God has a language and normal prayer warriors cannot understand or translate it. Hence, Intercessors are put in place to interpret the language of the burden of God for the people.
Without Intercessors there will be no intervention of mercy in the time of judgement and destruction.
Intercessors are the ones who carry the burden of the sins of the people and the church. They are the burden bearers and cannot live like how ordinary people live.
There is a spiritual template of war and prayer, and successful prayers must follow this template.
Behind every warfare there are two forces who work together in harmony, these are the foreground forces which are human warriors of Intercessors and prayer warriors and the background who are the Armies of Angelic warriors of Christ. Intercession and spiritual warfare goes hand in hand.
VARIOUS STRATEGIES OF INTERCESSION & SPIRITUAL COMBAT
POSITIONS OF INTERCESSION
Intercession By Definition
Intercession [in-ter-sesh´un] comes from the word “intercede”, which according to the Hebrew/Greek definition originally means “to strike upon,” “against”, “cause to entreat,” “to assail anyone with petitions,” or “to urge.”
The English word intercede (Inter - between + cēdere - to go) is derived from Latin intercedo, “to go between,” which strangely has the meaning to “obstruct” and “to interpose on behalf of” a person.
Intercession is “Prayers” and “Supplications” being made on behalf of another person, whether they are general or specific petitions e.g.:
Acts 12:5, "Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him."
Intercession is the strategy that God uses to give birth to His will and Kingdom on the earth. God says in Isaiah 56:7, “…My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations”
Joel 2:1, “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain:”
Joel 2:32, "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call."
Isaiah 66:23, "And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the LORD".
