Intercessory Prayer

The act of petitioning God or praying on behalf of another person or group. The sinful nature of this world separates human beings from God. It has always been necessary, therefore, for righteous individuals to go before God to seek reconciliation between Him and His fallen creation.

The sacrifices and prayers of Old Testament priests (Ex 29:42; 30:7) were acts of intercession which point forward to the work of Christ. Christ is, of course, the greatest intercessor. He prayed on behalf of Peter (Luke 22:32) and His disciples (John 17). Then in the most selfless intercession of all; He petitioned God on behalf of those who crucified Him (Luke 23:34).

But Christ's intercessory work did not cease when He returned to heaven. In heaven He intercedes for His church (Hebrews 7:25). His Holy Spirit pleads on behalf of the individual Christian (Rom 8:26-27). Finally, because of their unique relationship to God through Christ, Christians are urged to intercede for all people (1 Timothy 2:1).
