Intercession
You worship Me in faith as an intercession for your city
Every sound you make and step you take lifts the people around to see My pity
Your prayers are heard loud and clear as you offer them as an intercession
For the families living in your city to step out in a procession
Showing all the nation that unity with a focus on Me will be
The salvation of souls from coast to coast for the world to see
My healing power over nations through intercession of others
To take on the enemy before you to help every sister and brother
Overcome the dark side of their life and take the name of Jesus upon their heart
As their forgiveness is made sure and pure and from their life will not depart
Everyone has the ability for intercession in every way of each day
Open your minds and hearts and take up the difficulties of others as you pray
Because of your faith you will glorify My Son in all that you do
So do not fear as you take up intercession against evil for He is there too
Keep your focus on changing the environment in which you live
The purity of your intercession is all I can ask you to give
(Isa 53:12 NIV)Â Therefore I will give him a portion among the great, and he will divide the spoils with the strong, because he poured out his life unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors. For he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.
(Rom 8:26 KJV)Â Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
(Rom 8:27 KJV)Â And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.
(Rom 8:34 KJV)Â Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
(1 Tim 2:1 NIV) I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone —
(Heb 7:25 NRSV)Â Consequently he is able for all time to save those who approach God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for them.
