Have you ever asked yourself, “How can I make sure that my prayers are effective?”
No one likes to just pray into the wind, hoping they say something that makes a difference.
There are many kinds of scriptural prayer targets, and many kinds of intercessors—some pray using lists, some pray for the government, for crisis intervention, for leaders, family members, the lost, etc.
But what if there was a key that made all kinds of prayer more effective—sure to come into agreement with the heart of God every single time?
I believe this kind of praying exists—and it is called Prophetic Intercession!
To be a prophetic intercessor is to lean into your heavenly Father, and pray what you see and hear in alignment with His heart, empowered by the Holy Spirit.
Prophetic intercession marries the priestly role of holding the needs of the people before God with the prophetic role of leaning into God’s heart for the people.
This unique grace paves the way for prophetic promises to be fulfilled. This is outlined in Jeremiah 27:18 where it says, “If they are prophets and have the word of the Lord, let them plead with the Lord Almighty.”
We have an open invitation to join the Spirit in pleading every unfulfilled covenant promise before the throne of God. We can follow His urges to pray into circumstances in which we may know very little in the natural.
Prophetic intercession is not just for the elite, it is for everyone!
As S.D. Gordon sad, “The greatest thing anyone can do for God and man is pray. You can do more than pray after you’ve prayed. But you cannot do more than pray until you’ve prayed.”
