Prayer of Intercession

Posted on by jakirkgasser10439

How to Intercede for Someone

So how do you help someone who is lost,  Especially someone at a distance? It is called intercession.

Intersession is a form of prayer where you advocate on behalf for someone. You could be adding your prayers to their prayers to bring more energy to a situation, or you could be initiating prayer because they are not interested in praying, or maybe you have no access to them but have compassion and want to help them.

Some considerations:

There are a few things I have learned which make intercession much more effective.

  • It is spiritual warfare (Ep 6:12-18) – Don’t blame people, Stand against the evil.
  • The devil controls the fallen world (2 Cor 4:4) – He Lies, Steals, and Destroys
  • Jesus defeated Satan (Col 2:15) – Hold Satan accountable, your footstool
  • Jesus’ blood makes you righteous, reunited with the Father – Stand under it!
  • Jesus delegated authority to us in His name – Use it!
  • We are the body of Christ – Be his arms and legs on earth!
  • The spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives inside us – Use it!
  • Jesus expects us to do the works He did and more – Do what He did!
  • We must know God’s will, Jesus is the expressed image – Look at Jesus!
  • Scripture is binding – State your case!
  • Jesus intercedes for us – The Father is a just judge – It is rigged in your favor!
  • God has already done the work – Don’t beg, Align and Receive it
  • We must act in faith to make space for grace (Think, Say, Do)
  • You must speak Gods will into place – Create the future
  • Angels are waiting to execute – Give them permission!
  • Be fervent, believe the promises, expect results, pray until you see them

Each of these are addressed in other blog entries or in details under the “about God and His Kingdom” web page.

Below is a sample prayer that embodies these features. It is a bit long as it is both  instructional and functional. The first section positions you as a righteous believer acting in intercession. the second portion executes the intercession with authority, the final section is the conclusion.  Read it out loud with conviction for best effect.

If you are interceding for multiple different folks or multiple sets of folks, read the first section once to get you properly positioned, then repeat the middle section half for each group of folks in mind, then wrap up with the conclusion.

Sample Prayer:

Heavenly Father, Thank you for creating this place and putting us here at this time. Thank you for all you have done for me and my family.

Jesus, Thank you for coming here and doing your amazing work 2000 years ago; You gave up your role in heaven and came here as a human baby;  you became the expressed image of the invisible Father, when we see you we see Him; You resisted the devil at each turn and lived a sinless life; You received the Holy Spirit and did the Fathers will. You denied yourself and suffered an innocent death taking sin to the grave, your resurrection brings eternal life to all who believe. I am committed to live a life worthy of the price you paid.

Jesus, you defeated the devil and took back the authority we had given him with our sins.  The Father granted you full authority over all the heavens and on the earth because of your work. Your name is above all names, and all must kneel before it. You graciously delegated authority to us so we can continue your work.  I accept Your commission.  I am the body of Christ, your arms and legs on this earth. I will  make the devil Your footstool and bring glory to the Father in Your name.

Jesus, We see you seated on the throne in heaven at the right hand of the father. We accept your invitation and join you in that heavenly realm. I stand before you in the righteousness you paid for, cleansed by your blood. You are the high priest interceding for us, and I am raising up your children for consideration. Your Word is binding,  you are a just judge, and I herby present my case. 

——–

Lord Jesus, I intercede today on behalf of (_______insert one or more specific people). They are your precious children and are lost in this fallen world. They are blinded by lies and do not see Your truth. They are separated by sin from Your love and protection. They are consumed by this world and their heart has grown cold. They are struggling to climb out of their situation and become productive for themselves, their family, their friends, and your kingdom.

I use the authority you give me in Luke 10:19 to rebuke the evil spirits affecting them. I cancel all assignments, contracts, curses, and permissions being leveraged against them. All unclean spirits in this realm, I command you to loose them from your grip and leave them now, in Jesus name. All unclean spirits in the heavenly realms, I use the authority you give us in Matthew 18:18 to bind all spirits who are working against these precious children of God. I rebuke you and cut you off. I prohibit you from supporting and reinforcing the earthly spirits who are working against these precious children; What is bound on earth is bound in heaven,  in Jesus name. Jesus defeated Satan by His work on the cross, He now is the name above all names. You Evil spirits, You WILL kneel and loose these children NOW on my command, in Jesus’ Name. It is written! It will be done! in Jesus name!

Jesus, I speak the Holy Spirit into action to bring God’s will into place. Help warm the hearts of these precious lost children so they can find You and Your unconditional love. Open their eyes and help them find the truth of You and Your gospel. Help them discover their value as an adopted child of God. Help them know you are ready, willing, and able to rescue them; Help them be humble enough to ask for your help. Lord, help them find and follow your path out of their destructive situation.  Help them transform their thinking into alignment with Your will. Help them change their behavior so they become productive for themselves, their family, and for all those around them. Help them embrace the Holy Spirit and find the level of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self control that only You can bring.  Lord, I release Your angels to protect them and guide them as they find You and Your path for their lives. I ask this in Jesus Name.

——–

Lord, Help me know how best to support them on their journey.  May each of us become a beacon for your kingdom. I ask all of this in Jesus name, to bring glory to the Father. AMEN 

Satan Found Guilty of Unjustified Homicide

Posted on by jakirkgasser10439

Satan guilty of unjustified homicide – all authority removed

 

Heard an interesting explanation of how Jesus defeated the devil…a different way to describe it..

Adam gave the devil power by using his free will to listen to him and choosing to violate God’s will.

The devil gained a legal right to attack us as long as we sin.

Jesus followed God’s will perfectly, resisted temptation at every turn, and died as a sinless innocent man, the perfect lamb

Jesus allowed the devil to kill him…and did not complain.. even though he was innocent and the devil had no legal right to Him.

At that point the devil was guilty of unjustified homicide and his authority removed.

We have Jesus blood available to us as evidence of that crime, and we can use it as our get out of jail card for any punishment the devil thinks he can put on us for our sins

All his henchmen are running around still trying to inflict suffering on us… we just need to say no..not any more..i’ve had enough.. Here is the blood i stand on and you have no power over me. be gone.

 

The Game of Life

The Game of Life

 

Ever play a game: A card game? a board game? a video game? a sports game?  a role play simulation?

There are usually specific rules for how to play. There is usually a goal or criteria for winning: Score the most points, Get rid of your cards, etc.  Often there are rewards for making good choices, and consequences for making bad ones. There is often a tension element:  A time clock, or competition for  limited resources.  Some games are just for entertainment, but others are educational… you walk away from the game smarter than when you started, having learned something through the experience.

Did you consider that you are playing a game right now?  A really big game.  A game with realy really big consequences. A game that will change you for eternity  You are playing the game of life. 

  • The purpose of this “game” and this life on earth is for you to develop your eternal soul
    • Your conscious rational mind
    • The passions feep in your heart
    • Your volition, will or conscience.
  • God has established a high stakes game of “Truth and Consequences” to facilitate our learning. 
  • He places us in the middle of an epic battle between Good and Evil. 
  • The game takes place on two planes
    • On a physical level, It looks to us like life on earth
      • Many challenges as you go through life
      • Many choices to make along the way
      • Good stuff happens, bad stuff happens
      • Sometimes you can connect the dots between a choice and a result; Sometimes you can’t
      • The physical world rewards you for gathering resources for yourself and your family (money, property, things)
    • On another level, It is a Spiritual battle for your eternal soul
      • It is the epic battle: Good vs Evil; God vs the Devil; Heaven vs Hell
      • The spiritual world rewards you for becoming self-less and your physical resources to others (time, money, things).
      • You must learn/be taught about the spiritual world.  It is hidden and not inherently obvious
      • You have free will to make decisions
      • The first key decision is to accept that there is a spiritual aspect to you, that there is a force bigger than yourself, and that you should invest some of your resources to learn about it (time, brain power, listening, discussion). 

  • There are two arch rivals: God and Satan

    • The Devil does everything he can to defeat you
      • Tempt you and encourage poor choices, then condemns you when you make them.
      • Attacks you and those around you to make things hard for you.
      • Harm you mentally, emotional, and physically
      • Get you to doubt rxistance of God, or to blame him for bad things.
    • God offers every opportunity for you to succeed. 
      • He provided a rule book, but it takes some work to really understand it.  
      • He sent His son as a living example of how to follow the rules, fight the devil, and win.
      • He placed clues in you about where your best resources are (Talents and Passions).
      • He sent you a personal co-pilot/navigator; but you have to listen to Him
      • He continuously sets up opportunities for you; but you have to be open to them (People, Places, Situations, Decisions) 
    • Finding God in your mind and heart is the winning solution
      • He protects you from attacks if you follow his rules (Avoid bad desisions, Avoid adverse events you otherwise would be exposed to)
      • He helps you recover from an attack if you experience one if seek his help and follow His lead. (Positive artttude, See bigger picture / Long term game, See opportunities in front of you, Strength to overcome) 
      • He gives you authority over the enemy if you learn to use it (Quiet the adverse voices, Protection from bad things that otherwise would be affecting you, physical healing) 
      • He will help you see the plays unfolding if you ask Him, Listen for His input, and Follow Him.

  • Life is easier when you understand the game and its rules
