A person who is walking in deception does not know that they are deceived! Paul included intercession as part of God’s armor. Righteous prayer is agreeing with God. Prayer aligns our heart with His purposes for our lives and others. Ephesians 6:18 says, ‘Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.”

Our place of intercession is on our heart-knees before our Intercessor. Hebrews 7:25. In Hebrews 4:15 it says that our High Priest, “…was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.” Remember how Jesus was tempted in the wilderness by the devil? He was at His weakest point.

Verse 16 says, “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” This is a call for both our personal needs and the needs of those we are interceding for.
