12 Steps to Intercession

Intercession by

12 Steps to Intercession Training is an earnest and straightforward guide to intercessory prayer, a form of prayer that begs God to meet your needs as well as the needs of others. The fundamental principle of intercessory prayer is to tell God what He teaches us to tell Him to release His power.

What His motivation is for us to pray for others is a common question, and it’s simply because intercessory prayer mirrors His unconditional love and benevolence. God desires that we think in His image and likeness, and praying for others allows us to look beyond ourselves and grow in compassion for others.

This type of prayer is His intimate way of raising Christians into the light alongside Him. The wonders of intercessory prayer are found in its intimacy, simplicity, humility, and genuine openness to everybody.

Prayer in the Old Testament

Prayers of the old Testament  by 
Isaac Aluocher

Consistent, sensitive and profound, John Calvin sees Prayer through the lens of social and psychological constants and variables. Not indulging sentimentality, the book is an intimate conversation of the pious as prayer can be described as a means to meet God himself through experience. In the most comprehensive writing on Prayer to be found, John expresses prayer as a chief exercise in faith and that it is more than a verbal declaration or promises by God. Prayer as a notion of a promise lies at the heart of Calvin’s view on prayer and it is in this orientation that Calvin’s theology reaches its full potential. The book speaks about the zeal to serve God, gratefulness, spiritual alertness, finding delight in prayer and God’s generosity that authenticates the efficacy of prayers. John concludes that praying amidst dreadful circumstances refreshes God’s love even though that may not seem apparent in those situations.
