3.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © The Strategic Position of Intercession… Intercession is not simply an activity. It is a position; a strategic position. The intercessor takes a position, in the interest of God, with regard to a person, place or thing. The power is as much in the strategic position as in any words spoken. “Except the Lord watch the city, the watchmen watch in vain” (Psa. 127:1). The power is not in the watchmen - but in God. Yet, God watches in our watching and without our watching, we are left vulnerable, unguarded. We were
4.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © Watching… The term guard, shamar, shows up hundreds of times in the Old Testament. It means to watch, keep, guard or preserve. It is a charge to be an ‘intercessor’ between God and the earth, the garden and the globe, between things as they were and as they could be. Shamar became the ‘watchward’ of the prophets. The New Testament equivalent is used in the repeated call to ‘watch’ and pray, to be vigilant. In the failure of Adam to ‘watch,’ to guard, to protect, Satan gained an advantage and Adam lost the strategic high ground of the garden.
5.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © Jesus, the last Adam, has legally recovered the strategic middle which Adam forfeited. This embattled turf is what Jesus came to the earth to reclaim. It is also what Lucifer stubbornly and illegitimately continues to purport to own. Intercession is always in this strategic middle, between God and disconnected men and women, disconnected peoples and places. The dominion granted to Adam has now been reclaimed. Jesus declared, “All authority is given to me in heaven and earth” (Mt. 28:18); “therefore go…”
6.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © We do not presumptuously aspire to this role in the middle. God puts us all in some garden – a family, a church, a neighborhood or a city, a company or a circle of friends. Our role, as with Adam, is to: ‘Grow it,’ – our garden. To cultivate relationships and spiritual potential; and also, To ‘guard it,’ serving as a spiritual watchman. That also means serving as a spiritual mediator. Sometimes that is in the posture of a priestly advocate, praying for another as if we were the person. At times, it is in the posture of a prophet, praying for the in- breaking hand of God to enforce His will.
7.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © Intercession: The Uncomfortable Middle … In Luke 11:1, there are three players in the story. One is a traveler without housing or food. He locates a friend and knocks on his door. He is welcomed warmly, but his host has no bread. The host has a friend who always has plenty. He goes to that endowed friend and insists he rise and lend him bread. The well-supplied friend is resistant. The story is designed to emphasize our need for persistence in prayer. Will the friend in the uncomfortable middle be denied? Is his relationship strong enough to sustain a midnight intrusion? Will he give up, letting his friend go hungry?
8.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © Intercession: The Uncomfortable Middle … The friend in the middle will not be denied. He is as intense as if he were the hungry one. This is the true spirit of intercession. We pray as if we are the person we are representing in prayer. Their need becomes, by empathy and the assignment of the Spirit, our need. Intercession places us in the uncomfortable middle. All of us have unsaved friends. We prefer the end of a blessing; with someone else in the uncomfortable middle. The greater blessing, however, is in the middle.
9.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © Intercession: The Need for Persistence … “If a son ask bread of any of you that is a father…” (Luke 11:11). A son? A father? No longer are we a friend going to a resistant friend with plenty. We are sons, going to the father with plenty who is never reticent to answer. Luther said, “We pray for silver, but God often gives us gold instead.” We give up too easily. “If you…know how to give good gifts… how much more shall your heavenly father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask… (Lk. 11:13)
10.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © Intercession: The Need for Persistence … Notice the - “how much more!” of this passage. “Ask, seek, knock” – and you will receive, and you will find, and doors will be opened. All three terms are in the present tense. Keep on asking until you get an answer. Keep on seeking until you make a discovery that leads to a breakthrough. Keep on knocking until you disturb heaven and God opens some doorway. These terms are in the present tense and the imperative mood. Ask with intensity. Seek relentlessly. Knock forcefully. No sissy praying.
11.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © Intercession: The Need for Persistence … This is vigorous prayer. These are weighty expressions of hunger and need. They are compelling pleas, animated yearnings, driving prayers, urgent appeals. They are reasoned, but throbbing petitions. Our prayers lack such intensity. Our words say that we are desperate for God, but our lack of persistence and less than intense mood reveals a willingness to live without the requests we say we so desperately seek. Without persistent, imperative praying, our friends may remain lost. If we are not praying - who is?
12.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © Intercession: The Problem of Interference… In intercession, the middle position, we grasp the hand of God to touch the world through prayer. The greater and more strategic the grip is the heavenly grasp of God. Like reaching over a cliff for someone below, the task is daunting, and it can become a dark experience if the upward tether is not firm. Intercessors who do not keep their prayer lives centered in the simplicity of communion with God endanger both themselves and their mission.
13.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © … In intercession, it is not uncommon to have simultaneously a holy and unholy encounter. To experience peace and a sense of conflict. To see victory and defeat together. Sometimes an intercessor steps into a vortex of swirling powers, like being on the edge of a thunder cell. This demands that we pray with an awareness of the schemes of the Evil One. Though prayer is focused Godward, it often gains the attention of the Evil One. Flashes of warfare are not uncommon, but we cannot allow ourselves to be conditioned into avoidance of intercession to escape such warfare moments.
14.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © Intercession: The Position of a Watchman… In ancient times, a city could perish due to the negligence of a watchman. The watchman served as an obstacle to an intruder, and was the first wave of defense. The city could sleep because he was awake. Caught sleeping, death might be the penalty. The Scripture warns us to be aware of the “devil’s schemes.” Watchmen were to be ever “alert,” a term used to describe a sentry – the watchman were posted on the wall or at the gate of city. Prayer’s warning system nurtures obedience and assures our hearts of certain triumph.
15.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © There is much emphasis today on spiritual warfare; but the goal of intercession is not spiritual warfare. Rather, it is reconciliation. The Scriptures say, “Wisdom is better than warfare” (Ecclesiastes 9:18). When an intercessor steps into the critical, uncomfortable middle, warfare is inevitable. That place is occupied illegally by Satan in his attempt to separate man from God. The inevitable spiritual conflict cannot be the primary focus of the intercessor. His role is to connect the lost or displaced person to God, and God through prayer, to that person.
16.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © Fifteen Subjective Identifiers of Intercessors … 1. At times, you feel a compelling call to break away for prayer – to get alone with God. 2. You experience a ‘burden’ to prayer, like an inner grip on your soul that will not go away. 3. You sense passion and compassion as you pray. You pray with your heart as much your head. 4. Tears are common, though no one has taught you the role of ‘lament.’ You weep, you travail. 5. You experience impressions, vague right-brain intuitive hunches; you are caught between knowing and not fully knowing – you pray.
17.
PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © Fifteen Subjective Identifiers of Intercessors … 6. You are frequently awakened in the night – and called to pray. 7. People come before you – and you pause, and pray as if some danger or opportunity might be missed if you did not do so. 8. You may have a dream or open vision that draws you to pray for a place you have never been, or someone unfamiliar to you. 9. You are caught up, at times, into a spirit of prayer. You pray beyond yourself. You know what it is like to be ‘anointed’ to pray, to lose track of time in prayer.

PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © Intercessor Identifiers… 10. You pray with groans, sounds not discernible, as if travailing in birth. 11. You imagine yourself at times in places far away, yet, it is as if you are here and there at the same time. As if on some magic carpet of prayer, you are whisked away. 12. God has whispered to you a secret, perhaps, more than one – to pray about. 13. God’s secrets are not always delightful. At times, by the Spirit, you see through a person. The prophetic dimension of intercession places you in a terribly uncomfortable situation.

PRAYER – THE
HEART OF IT ALL – P. DOUGLAS SMALL – ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. © 14. Priestly intercessors sometimes feel the pain of others; they bear the burden of another in prayer. These ‘sympathy’ pains are clues for prayer. 15. At times, intimacy with God has placed in you some vision – and you have learned the necessity of carrying it to term, not miscarrying, but giving birth, in prayer, to the purposes of God. Remember, intimacy produces the child, but travail delivers it; and there can never be a birth without intimacy. Balance prayer between intimacy and intercession.
