Thank you for listening to our Surge Church Podcast. Intercession is a specific type of prayer in which a person intervenes in prayer on behalf of another. The need for intercession is as vital today as it was in the days of the Bible. Its purpose is to stand in the gap in order link the mercy of God to the needs of others. God is still looking for intercessors to stand in the gap to maintain the hedge of protection around people, families, churches, and nations.
