The Prophet as Intercessor

Published Thursday, January 21st, 2010 in Prayer Prophetic

Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine. - GENESIS 20:7

The very first time you ever see the word “prophet” in the Bible, it is connected to prayer. Old Testament or New, you can’t separate the prophet from prayer. It is the life blood of the prophetic because it is our connection with God and His will.

The Heart of the Prophetic

Do you want to prophesy what saith the Spirit of God with greater authority, stronger boldness and increased accuracy? Do you want that double portion that Elisha carried? Learn the keys to flowing in a more powerful prophetic anointing in this highly recommended book.

“Jennifer dares to address the hijacking of prophetic ministry in some circles by the spirit of Jezebel, divination and spiritual mystics.” - Apostle Jonas Clark

“I read this manuscript with great scrutiny for I have been a pioneer, promoter and defender of prophets and prophetic ministry for 55 years. I can honestly say that Jennifer covers some very delicate subjects with sound wisdom and integrity.” - Dr. Bill Hamon

“Jennifer LeClaire’s book, in my estimation, is one of the best books on prophecy available.” - Ernest Gentile

“I loved this book! Jennifer does a bold, insightful job of discerning the precious from the worthless (Jeremiah 15:19) yet also pursues us with the love of God.” - Graham Cooke

Who should we pray for? It’s our duty as prophets to pray for others and for ourselves (1 Timothy 2:1). We should also pray for our government leaders and all in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all goodness and holiness (1 Timothy 2:2). And we should certainly pray for our spiritual leaders. The Apostle Paul made many pleas for the prayers of the saints.

Of course, we should not neglect to pray for our family and friends and those who work for us and with us. Moses prayed for Miriam when she was stricken with leprosy and the Centurion made intercession on behalf of his ill servant. We should pray for any who are afflicted, including the sick, poor and needy. And, finally, we should pray for our enemies.
