The duty of the intercessor is to stand as a representative for those who cannot pray. Intercession can be defined as bringing one's requests and prayers before God and pleading with Him on behalf of other people (Genesis 20:7; 1 Kings 8:44-48; Psalm 106:23). An intercessor has the privilege of approaching God at any time on behalf of others. An intercessor should have confidence in approaching God, knowing that God will respond when he prays for another person (1 John 5:14,15). As you pray these intercessory prayers, take heart because "greater is He who is in you, than He who is in the world" (1 John 4:4b).
