Top Highlights

“As can be clearly seen from these definitions, the concept of intercession can be summarized as mediating, going between, pleading for another, representing one party to another for, but not limited to, legal situations.” (Page 38)

“Jesus isn’t praying for us; He is interceding for us so that we can pray. This is what is meant by asking ‘in His name.’” (Page 41)

“Intercession creates a meeting. Intercessors meet with God; they also meet the powers of darkness. ‘Prayer meetings’ are aptly named!” (Page 52)

“Christ’s intercession, in keeping with its literal meaning, was not a prayer He prayed, but a work of mediation He did.” (Page 40)

“If, on the other hand, John Wesley was correct when he said, ‘God does nothing on the earth save in answer to believing prayer,’ I’ll lose a little sleep for that. I’ll change my lifestyle for that. I’ll turn the TV off, and even miss a meal or two.” (Page 23)

Praise for the Print Edition

Few times in history does an author capture the heart of God and create a classic that will affect generation after generation. Dutch Sheets has accomplished that with Intercessory Prayer. After you read this book, you will understand how to stand, make decrees, and become the lightning of God in the earth.

—Chuck D. Pierce, president, Glory of Zion International Ministries

Intercessory Prayer has deservedly become a popular classic. This engaging and practical book has contributed enormously to the prayer movement of the last decade. Although thousands of books have been written about prayer, I recommend the book you are now holding in your hands. May it impact your life the way it has impacted mine.

—Pete Greig, cofounder, 24-7 Prayer community
