1. Intercessory prayer is found in Scriptures, from Genesis to Revelation, as a definite kind of prayer to which God responds.

2. Intercessory prayer is demonstrated by many of God’s chosen leaders, who practiced the ministry of intercession with awesome results (i.e., Job, Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Moses, Esther).

3. Intercessory prayer was a prayer commitment of the first apostles, the first disciples, and the first church.

4. Intercessory prayer was, and is, the chief ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the mediator between God and man, and is presently the intercessor for man.

5. Intercessory prayer is the responsibility of every church that is ruled by Christ and His Word.

6. Intercessory prayer is being restored to the Church worldwide with what might be the greatest single emphasis since the first church in the book of Acts.

7. Intercessory prayer is a call of the Spirit to every believer now — today — in order to take back our cities, our regions, our nations, and our world for the Kingdom of God.
