Explore FurtherThe four progressive pillars
Friendship becomes intercession.
01God desires friendship.
02Friendship gives access to the depths of God.
03Access turns the friend of God into an intercessor.
04Intercession alters everything about the intercessor.
When God names intercessors
A history with God carries weight.
“Standing before God on behalf of others.”
Jeremiah names Moses and Samuel as men associated with standing before God on behalf of others. Ezekiel names Noah, Daniel, and Job in another severe judgment passage. Scripture recognizes people whose righteousness, spiritual standing, and history with God carry unusual weight in moments of crisis.
Read: Jeremiah 15:1 · Ezekiel 14:14, 20
What intercession does

Pulls down strongholds
We confront influences that exalt themselves against the knowledge and purposes of God.
Seeks conformity to God
We pray the Church and humanity toward God’s purpose, character, plan, and will.
Watches without ceasing
We take our place on the walls and persist until God’s purposes are established.
Pray through: Ezekiel 22:30 · Isaiah 62:6–7 · 1 Timothy 2:1–2 · 2 Corinthians 10:4–5 · Ephesians 6:12, 18
