The Call of the Intercessor

​Intercession: The definition of Intercede is_"To act as a go-between for two parties.To beg or plead on behalf of another. A mediator, or the act of mediation." To carry this further, to mediate means to: settle a dispute, or carry out a process. A lawyer is a form of mediator, and we can see the correlation of a lawyer standing on behalf of their client before a judge. This is the picture of an intercessor. One who stands as a lawyer, or mediator for someone or on behalf of something that needs to be acted on or brought into being before the Lord, and using all the skill they have to argue the case for them.

As believer's we are all called to intercede for other's, our families, our church, those who need to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth of the gospel. 
​
However, there are some in the body of Christ who have been called to a life of prayer and intercession, as a service to God. Those who are called as intercessors and watchmen are at different levels, and some have specific areas God has them remain in. We become more effective when we focus on the area we are meant to serve in. No one knows the day or hour of the Lord’s return, be the daily news, and world events tell us we are ever nearing the day. For those of us called to this life of prayer, we look earnestly for it. 
 
We are called to go down on our faces before God on behalf of people, cities, or nations, to repent of the sins and evil they have committed, when they won't do it themselves, to save them from the judgment they deserve. Such as Abraham when he interceded for Sodom and Gomorrah. We are also given insight to the activities of the demonic realm; to know his strategies and what is coming upon the earth as the end of the age unfolds. 

We are given burdens in the spirit by God for individuals, churches, cities, nations. Many times the Holy Spirit will give specific instructions on how to pray. As we grow in our walk, and each experience teaches us to get better at it, and able to hear the voice of the Lord more clearly. Becoming a mighty warrior of prayer, and an adversary of the devil to be reckoned with doesn't happen overnight.

Taking the time to study scripture, and use media information to gain knowledge and discernment will equip the saint to be more effective in the calling God has given them. That is the intention of this page.
May we serve the Lord Jesus Christ faithfully, with courage, and skill as the last days unfold before us.
As Watchmen, let the verses below be the guiding force to our service.

Isa 62:1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
Mat 24:42 Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
