This document discusses the concepts of authority, intercession, and identificational confession. It emphasizes that God has given authority and responsibility to mankind to fulfill His redemptive plan and enforce His covenants on Earth. Effective intercession requires identification, agony/travail, and exercising authority. The inner court role of intercession is key to defeating spiritual enemies and seeing breakthrough in the physical realm. Examples are given of biblical figures like Moses, Jesus and Joseph who powerfully interceded. Transformation of cities and regions starts with repentance, prayer, humility, unity and knowing God's ways.

John Piper

4. We wrestle not against
flesh and blood
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the
darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness
in the heavenly places. Eph 6:12-13

• And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority
has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore
and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the
name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded
you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the
age.“ - Matt 28:18-20
• The heaven, even the heavens, are the Lord’s; But the
earth He has given to the children of men.- Ps 115:16
• Jesus came so we could reclaim what was lost.
– Lk 19:10

Intercession
King
Our public calling,
work, the physical
battle
Priest
Defeat principalities,
identify with those
we serve, enforce
covenant.
The depth of your root
system determines
your ability to withstand
attack in the Outer Court.

13. Jesus delegated authority to us to
enforce the Father’s covenants
Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom
to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule
and all authority and power.
– 1 Cor 15:24-25
Authority was “licensed” to us until Jesus returns. He is
waiting on us to exercise our authority in the inner
court. He intentionally limits His involvement.
We lose battles because of a failure to do the inner
court work. Greater the assignment, the greater
investment needed.

14. Why is their evil on earth?
• God lacks authority on earth because His
authority has been delegated to man.
• Man must accomplish God’s purposes on
earth as His representatives - prayer
• … the whole world lies under the sway of
the wicked one. I Jn 5: 19

15. God requires a human being to enforce
His covenants and will on earth
“So I sought for a man among them
who would make a wall, and stand
in the gap before Me on behalf of
the land, that I should not destroy it;
but I found no one. Therefore I have
poured out My indignation on them;
I have consumed them with the fire
of My wrath; and I have
recompensed their deeds on their
own heads," says the Lord God
(Ezek 22:30-31).

16. Isaiah 59:14-16
Justice is turned back, And righteousness
stands afar off; For truth is fallen in the street,
And equity cannot enter.
So truth fails, and he who departs from evil
makes himself a prey. Then the LORD saw it, and
it displeased Him that there was no justice.
He saw that there was no man, And
wondered that there was no
intercessor…

17. Lessons on
Authority
Jesus said, “And I will give unto thee the keys of the Kingdom of
Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound
in Heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be
loosed in Heaven.” Matt 16:19

18. We are God’s representatives to
enforce an estimated 7,474 covenant
promises proclaimed in the Bible!

19. Intercessor
• The word intercessor comes from the
word “to intercede”—to intervene or
mediate on behalf of another.
• Called to be both king and priest.
Melchizedek - king and priest
• We too are called to both assignments.
•

20. To Him who loved us and washed us from our
sins in His own blood, and has made us kings
and priests to His God and Father, to Him be
glory and dominion forever and ever. - Rev 1:5-6

21. Moses
Then Moses returned to the Lord
and said, ‘Oh, these people have
committed a great sin, and have
made for themselves a god of gold!
Yet now, if You will forgive their sin
— but if not, I pray, blot me out of
Your book which You have written.’"
(Ex 32:30-32).

22. Jesus is our intercessor and
advocate with the Father
For we do not have
a High Priest who
cannot sympathize
with our
weaknesses, but
was in all points
tempted as we are,
yet without sin. Let
us therefore come
boldly to the throne
of grace, that we
may obtain mercy
and find grace to
help in time of need.
(Heb 4:14-5:4).

24. Daniel’s Covenant Prayer Partners
“My decision is firm: if you do not
make known the dream to me,
and its interpretation, you shall be
cut in pieces, and your houses
shall be made an ash heap.”
Then Daniel went to his house, and made the
decision known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,
his companions, that they might seek mercies
from the God of heaven concerning this secret, so
that Daniel and his companions might not perish
with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. Then the
secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So
Daniel blessed the God of heaven. - Daniel 2

27. Intercessors Report just before
Hollywood meeting March 2012
“There was a sense of you climbing
higher. The mountain of Arts &
Entertainment was laid upon my heart.”
“Another very interesting thing which was impressed
upon me was the sight and sense of horses racing
forward. Finding it a bit strange, I really wondered what
Papa was saying through it. I felt Him ask me what I felt
and the impression was that of freedom, pleasure,
togetherness, as there were 4 of them, a moving
forward, trust and training.”

28. “If you don’t break through in
the spiritual realm, don’t
attempt the physical.”
Joshua 6

29. Rees Howells, 1900s in Wales
3 Distinctives to Intercession
1) Identification
2) Agony - travail
3) Authority

30. “In intercession you bring the
person, or the circumstance
that impinges on you before
God until you are moved by His
attitude towards that person or
circumstance.”
Oswald Chambers

31. Every greatly used instrument
of God has been an intercessor
• John Wesley for backsliding England
• William Booth for the down and outs
• Hudson Taylor for China
• C.T. Studd for the unevangelized world.

32. What’s on your heart God?

33. Prayer is not about trying to get God to listen to
me; it’s about God trying to get me to listen to
Him.
So I sought for a man among them who would
make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on
behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it;
but I found no one. -Ezekiel 22:30

34. Prayer in the AirGrand Rapids, MI

35. Rom 8:26-27
Likewise the Spirit also helps in
our weaknesses. For we do not
know what we should pray for
as we ought, but the Spirit
Himself makes intercession for
us with groanings which cannot
be uttered. Now He who
searches the hearts knows
what the mind of the Spirit is,
because He makes
intercession for the saints
according to the will of God.

36. “I now rejoice in my sufferings for
you, and fill up in my flesh what is
lacking in the afflictions of Christ,
for the sake of His body. . .”
- Col 1:24
Apostle Paul

37. Joseph hid behind the veil and
interceded for his brothers
Sent before them
through great hardship to save a
family and nation

38. We must understand Satan’s
entry points into our lives and lives
of others.
We must understand the
demonic gates into our cities.

39. Nothing in Jesus
“Hereafter I will not talk much with
you: for the prince of this world
cometh, and that nothing in me.”
Jn 14:30
Had no entry to Jesus’
life due to sinless life.

40. Jesus prayed
short prayers.
“Lazarus, come forth!”
“Jesus rebuked the demon.”“I am willing; be cleaned!”
“Come out of the
man, unclean spirit!’

41. Praying as a son
Slave
Petitions, lists

“What’s on your
heart, God?”

42. Are you ready to fulfill
your inner court assignment?
There are many people in prisons of their
own making but God wants you to be an
instrument for their deliverance.

43. Review
1. Intercession allows us to internalize and
deepen our ownership of the assignment.
2. Intercession forces us to sit quietly before God
to clarify what we are called to.
3. Intercession catalyzes the actions needed for
fulfillment of the vision by depending on the
Holy Spirit to reveal our action steps.
4. Allows us to combine our faith to manifest
God’s covenant promises. i.e., Joshua & Caleb

44. Intercession through repentance must precede warfare
5. We have no authority to go in and tear
down the enemy’s strongholds until we
first deal with his legal right to be there
–due to our sins!
6. Sin enthrones principalities over your
marketplace and city

45. 2 Chron 7:14-15
If My people who are called by My name will
humble themselves, and pray and seek My
face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I
will hear from heaven, and will forgive their
sin and heal their land.

46. Question:
• Could God move in an entire
school system throughout an entire
state through one student?
• Could a Lt. Governor ask Jesus to
be Lord over his state with the
blessing of their Jewish governor in
this day of “separation of church
and state?”
