The necessity of intercession and prayer warfare is obvious in relation to evangelism and Church growth. We consider the mobilization of prayer teams to assist in evangelistic outreaches being of highest priority. Research has to be done, analysing the causes of non growth. Well educated intercessors able to deal with history, politics, economics, culture and social issues is desperately needed. The enemy has to be exposed in his work, tying societies into antichristian webs of ideology and religious deceit.
Intercession prepares and paves the way for rulers to act righteously, or to be judged.
Prophetic intercession is intercession that is inspired and instructed by the Holy Spirit to pray effectively into societal issues. Politics is not the issue, but righteousness and holiness is. It is also necessary to mention the growth of the New Age movement. We have in it the worst threat the society and the Church have ever met. There is a definite possibility, within the limits of the prophetic word of God to disarm these forces and create areas of refuge.
