Discipline Of Intercession

Paul’s prayers run deep. They reach areas of the inner man where emotional traumas and malformations of the soul exercise hidden control. These prayers root out ways of thinking and responding to life that are contrary to God’s Kingdom. They reach the resentments, fears, anger, bitterness, insecurity, and depression that are running rampant, like emissaries from Satan sent to hinder every relationship. We see in four passages the substance of twelve prayers: Ephesians 1:15-19; Ephesians 3:14-19; Philippians 1:9, 10; and Colossians 1:9-11.We will stretch these over a year, taking a month with each prayer.We want to draw as many as possible along with us in this discipline- husbands and wives praying for one another, parents praying for children, students for teachers, pastors for congregations, friends for friends, citizens for our leaders, etc. It’s endless. Think of the possibilities.
