Bonhoeffer on Intercessory Prayer
|
|
I really liked this passage from Life Together Prayerbook of the Bible:
"Intercessory prayer is also a daily service Christians owe to God and one another. Those who deny their neighbors prayers of intercession deny them a service Christians are called to perform. Furthermore, it is clear that intercessory prayer is not something general and vague, but something very concrete. It is interested in specific persons and specific difficulties and therefore specific requests. The more concrete my intercessory prayer becomes the more promising it is…
All this proves that intercessory prayer is a gift of God’s grace for every Christian community and for every Christian. Because God has made us such an immeasurably great offer here, we should accept it joyfully. The very time we give to intercession will turn out to be a daily source of new joy in God and in the Christian congregation."

I have a question on intercessory prayer, can just anyone pray for another on spiritual warfare issues, or does it have to be taken to the pastor or someone else who is more spiritually mature. What are some things we need to be aware of when praying warfare prayers for another? Thanks
