A Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified (lsaiah 43:26).
When we pray, especially in intercession, it’s crucial to understand the legalities involved. Intercession requires a deep comprehension of these legalities because it’s an argumentative prayer, where you present your case, make your claims, and provide the legal reasons for your requests.
Intercession is different from the prayer of faith, although it still requires faith. The prayer of faith is often a single declaration, a one-time statement where you believe and receive, trusting that it is done. However, intercession frequently requires importunity, earnestness, and fervency in prayer because it involves standing in the gap for others. Without such intensity and persistence in intercession, things could go awry for those you’re praying for.
In intercession, you’re taking a stand between God and the person or people you’re praying for. You step in on their behalf, presenting your case before God and explaining why what you’re asking for should be done for them. This is why it’s important to be clear about your legal position and claims when interceding.
This is much more than just asking God for something; it’s about understanding the authority you’ve been given and using it effectively to argue your case. So learn to stand in the gap and bring the needs of others before God in prayer. Study God’s Word intensely to know it intimately so you can use the Word to plead your case effectively.
Remember what He said in Isaiah 41:21, “Produce your cause, saith the LORD; bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.” Then in Chapter 43 verse 26, He said, “Put me in
remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified.” Our confidence that He hears and grants our intercessions is on the basis of His Word. Blessed be God!
PRAYER
Righteous Father, I thank you for the privilege of intercession, where I can stand in the gap for others to fervently plead their case in accordance to your Word. Thank you for the authority you’ve given to me in Christ to establish your will on earth and in the lives of people everywhere, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
