HOW INTERCEDE


HOW INTERCEDE 
is essential that the glory of God is the end of our intercession because the main goal of Satan is to prevent glorifying God. Therefore, if we have as our primary goal the glorification of God and commit our whole soul and being the movement of intercessory prayer, God will manifest.  Prayer must be offered in faith and according to the will of God: "And this is the confidence that we have before him: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have what we asked of him "(1 John 5: 14-15).

PRINCIPLES FOR EFFECTIVE INTERCESSION 

Here are some principles of effective intercession drawn from the foregoing Scriptures:
1. Praise God for the privilege of cooperating with Him in the affairs of men through prayer.
2. Make sure your heart is clean before God had any sin unconfessed (Psalm 66:28; 29: 23-24).
3. Recognize that you really can not pray without the guidance of the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:26).
4. Deal aggressively with the enemy. Among against him in the all-powerful name of the Lord Jesus Christ and with the "sword of the Spirit" - the Word of God (James 4: 7).
5. Wait before God in silent expectancy, listening for His direction (Psalm 62: 5; Micah 7: 7; Psalm 81: 11-13).
6. In obedience and faith, utter what God brings to your mind, believing (John 10:27). Follow the direction asking God, hoping that He will give you. He wants to do (Psalm 32: 8).
7. If possible, have your Bible with you should God want to give you direction or confirmation from it (Psalms 119: 10-15).
8. When God ceases to bring things to your mind to pray, praising and thanking finish what He has done, reminding yourself of Romans 11:36, "For from him and through him and to him are all things. Let the glory be his for centuries. Amen".

God answers prayer according to His will and His will is revealed in the promises recorded in His Word. When you ask not based on these promises your prayer is not answered.
