Intercession Made Simple

Standing in the gap. Praying, pleading, and prevailing for others.

Somewhere right now, somebody is in trouble — and God is looking for someone to pray about it. Intercession is praying for somebody else with the same urgency you would pray for yourself: taking someone's name into the presence of God and refusing to leave until He answers.

This plain-language, Bible-first guide walks through fourteen chapters on the intercessor's life, anchored in 1 Timothy 2:1 ("prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people"). You'll learn what intercession really is, why God looks for intercessors (Ezekiel 22:30), how Abraham, Moses, Daniel, and Paul stood in the gap, how Jesus Christ lives right now to intercede for you, and how the Holy Spirit helps you pray when you don't know how (Romans 8:26). You'll learn to pray for your family, your church, your leaders, your nation, your enemies, and the lost — plus persistence when answers tarry, fasting with intercession, and what to do in the waiting season. Each chapter opens with Scripture and ends with one action step.

Explicitly Trinitarian: God the Father who receives, Jesus Christ the Son of God and Son of Man who intercedes at His right hand, and the Holy Spirit who intercedes within you. Prayer to the Father, through Jesus Christ, by the Holy Spirit.

Includes a 14-question appendix with straight answers to the honest questions people actually ask about praying for others, a conclusion, and a closing prayer.
