intercession
The word “Intercede” comes from the Latin “inter” which means “between,” and “ced” which means “go.” Literally “intercede” means “go between.” Intercessors are those who are “go betweens” between the Lord and his people.
The Father loves it when we, his children, come to him and ask him to work on our behalf.
We acknowledge that there is no greater foundation for all ministry we undertake than storming heaven in humble and child-like intercession. God’s heart is moved to act when his people cry out to him. The Father loves it when we, his children, come to him and ask him to work on our behalf.
BECOME an intercessor
An Encounter Intercessor is someone who is committed to the intercession of Encounter Ministries and the missions God calls us into whether foreign or domestic. Approximately each month our Intercessor Coordinator emails our Encounter Intercessors with the prayer needs of the ministry. We also acknowledge that God has often revealed prophetic insight and revelation to our intercessors and we ask our intercessors to communicate any prophetic revelation to our Intercessor Coordinator that will be communicated to the Encounter leadership.

I need a prayer for my 6 year old boy (Thiago Rodriguez)and myself ( Guadalupe Ramos). We are both struggling with anxiety. I want the lord to heal me so that I can be fully present for him. I want the lord to care for his soul, his heart and mind and for him to feel our love. I want the lord to help those adults that work him in school to show him kindness and reframe from shaming him for his "misbehavior" and see it as communication steming from his anxiety and defiance. My son is kind, strong willed and sensitive, but kind. I want him to feel that from all those around him and for the lord to touch him with his grace. Please help us. Ayuda por favor

Please pray for my 32 year old daughter Chelsi and her husband Matt.
Chelsi drinks alcohol way too much, is very angry and resentful and bitter. She was raised in church but carries lots of woundings and doesn't want to learn how to communicate. She has little grace for her kids. She has huge walls up, very hard hearted.
Matt is a former addict, very immature, can't be corrected or accept blame. He's easily frustrated, short fuse with parenting, and lacks basic communication skills. He does pray some but has zero depth or knowledge. He's also very worldly.
Their life is hard. Severely disabled child, severe financial issues, they work opposite shifts for low pay and they're both mad at each other all the time. Things are rocky.
They need miracles on multiple levels.

Dear intercessors, I kindly ask you again to pray for me: I am affected by various chronic conditions, especially irritable bowel syndrome with major abdominal pain, but also other health issues. All of them together are considerably limiting my daily life and have worsened after a Covid-19 infection in 2021. Now I have planned to go on holiday to possibly recover a little, but again the abdominal and other problems have worsened in the last days. Thus, I ask you to pray (1) that the Lord provides me with enough health to be able to start the holiday, (2) and that it will be a blessed time with Him, free of pain and sickness.
Thank you so much for your intercession! May God bless you abundantly!

My dad has bladder cancer. It started out as small tumors 4 years ago and they were removed every few months, along with immunotherapy, until they were gone. My dad was "clear" for 2 years, but recently developed kidney issues. He ended up in the hospital and now has draining bags for his kidneys because cancer has spread and is blocking his ureter. He was trying to avoid bladder removal surgery and chemotherapy and had only gone through immunotherapy. This week he agreed to chemotherapy and is on day 3 today. So far, he hasn't had any adverse reaction. We are praying for complete healing and recovery.
My dad has experienced a miracle of physical healing about 11 years ago. He was diagnosed with skin cancer and his doctor felt the cancer throughout his groin and abdominal area. The prognosis was not good and the doctor actually told my parents to spend their time together to say goodbye. They did not want to give up and opted for surgery and the doctor prepared for an extensive surgery based on his observations. When they actually went in, it was significantly smaller and they were able to remove it all. He was cancer free until his recent bout with bladder cancer which started 4 years ago.

Please pray my husband Kevin into the confessional. He is an Episcopalian convert that doesn't believe in the power of the Sacraments. He needs to be led to repentance and conversion in an incontrovertible way. Come Holy Spirit! Gift him with faith unshakeable. Mother Mary bring him into full communion with the teachings of the Church. Thank you!!!!

I would like prayers for my sister Lori who lives in Colorado. She has bile duct cancer that has metastisized on her liver and a tumor in her lungs. I want all the cancer to be e removed from her body! I know we serve a mighty God and he is the Divine healer. If He wills, this can be done. I am also wondering if there are people from this ministry in CO that I can connect her to that could pray over her?

Lord please break ALL grounds of suppression, oppression, and depression over Yolo County. May there be peace, joy, and unity that surpasses all understanding. Please heal this land and all its people.
Lord, I stand in the gap to rebuke and renounce Fab's connections with the ex's family once and for all. May every soul ties, bonds, communication, and commitment end - as these people are constantly bringing confusion, instability, and keeping her suppressed. No weapons of any sort shall prosper. All things of evil are broken and powerless in Jesus name.
Lord help me (as her significant other), our friends, and the church to step in and walk with her and guide her to live out her purpose. Lord please guide and strengthen us to replace all stagnation with things that bring life.
May we keep building a strong foundation and great communication. Fill us both with agape love for each other. May we live out to experience peace, stability, hope, and joy in all areas. I pray and believe in Faith that these prayers are answered and seal it with the blood of Jesus.
