Bible Answer: Greetings Harris1979, If you type in 'intercession' (noun) in the inquiry bar at www.dictionary.com, you receive the following definitions: "1. an act or instance of interceding. 2. an interposing or pleading on behalf of another person. 3. a prayer to God on behalf of another." (1) For scriptural examples of intercession, see Abraham (Genesis 18:20-33), Reuben (Genesis 37:21-22), Paul's nephew (Acts 23:16-22), Paul (Philemon 10-11) and Christ (Isaiah 53:12, Romans 8:34; Heb. 7:25). An intercessor, or mediator, in regards to prayer, is a person who prays on behalf of another. Here are some Scriptural examples of intercessory prayer: - Isaac (Gen. 25:21) - Job (Job 42:8) - Moses (Ex. 32:11-35; Num. 21:7; Deut. 9:18,26) - Jeremiah (Jer. 37:3; 42:2) - Daniel (Dan. 9:20) - Nehemiah (Neh. 1:6) - Those led into exile were to pray (Jer. 29:7) - Christ (John 17:13-26; Luke 22:32; 23:34) - The Holy Spirit (Romans 8:26) - The Church (2 Cor. 1:11; 9:14) In fact, we are to pray on behalf of "all men" (1 Tim. 2:1-2) and ask that others pray for us (Eph. 6:19; James 5:14,16). Paul asked for prayer many times: Romans 15:30; Col. 4:3; 1 Thess. 5:25; 2 Thess. 3:1; Heb. 13:18. We are called to lift one another up in prayer. Blessings to you, Makarios (1) intercession. (n.d.).
