Intercession, a mighty work of God!

“I now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up in my flesh what is lacking in the afflictions of Christ, for the sake of His body, which is the church.” Colossians 1:24

If you are a believer, you will be called by God to stand in the gap to break evil strongholds and draw people to salvation. This is the work of intercession and God labors through the Holy Spirit dwelling in you to set people free. This is agonizing work as you are a participant in spiritual warfare.

Intercession is a deep unconscious work of God and many times the results are hidden from you. As an intercessor, you may take on the feelings and identify with whoever you are interceding for.

In the spiritual realm, you are taking the place of the individual who is in bondage to Satan and allowing God to work through you to bring a victory for the body of Christ.

Jesus is the greatest intercessor of all time and you are working with Him to accomplish His objectives. As you suffer in body and mind with the afflictions of intercession, rejoice with Jesus. You are doing the work of the cross.

To be called to be an intercessor is one of the highest honors in the Kingdom of God and you will have a closeness with God that very few people can experience.
