Intercessory Prayer
What is intercessory prayer?
Quite simply, intercessory prayer is the act of praying on behalf of others. The role of mediator in prayer was prevalent in the Old Testament, in the cases of Abraham, Moses, David, Samuel, Hezekiah, Elijah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel. Christ is pictured in the New Testament as the ultimate intercessor, and because of this, all Christian prayer becomes intercession since it is offered to God through and by Christ. Jesus closed the gap between us and God when He died on the cross. Because of Jesus’ mediation, we can now intercede in prayer on behalf of other Christians or for the lost, asking God to grant their requests according to His will. “For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:5). “Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us” (Romans 8:34). – gotquestions.org
Intercessory prayer is held each week on Tuesday at 11AM. Everyone is invited to come and join us as we pray for the ministry of The Lighthouse, as well as our nation, our state, our community and churches. If you are in need of prayer you may come and receive prayer for yourself during this time as well.

Please join me in prayer for my friend Gage. Pray he would seek God first in everything he does. Pray he would be freed and protected from coaching of those who aren't diligently seeking Jesus and desiring to grow in his likeness.
