Colossians 1:9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.
Several years ago, as I prayed I heard, felt or sensed, can`t remember which, but I soon wrote the word "intercession" on the top of a page of my Bible. At the time, I wasn`t even sure what this churchy word meant! Thanks to Mr. Webster, intercession is the act of interceding, a prayer to God on behalf of another.
Since that time, God has brought the true meaning of intercession into my daily existence. I have been blessed with the gift of intercession, perhaps prayer warrior adds definition to my calling. Finally, my addictive tracts are a blessing, I love to pray and to be in the presence of those with the same passion and enthusiasm. By praying for family, friends, neighbors, co-workers, our military, accident victims, our leaders, our country and our world we are inviting the presence of God. Once we have brought needs and concerns to God, He takes over from there. Psalm 6:9 The LORD has heard my cry for mercy; the LORD accepts my prayer.
