Build a Ministry

Intercessory Ministry

Under God's direction, we are to go out into the community seeking those who are in need of assistance. As a minister we act as an agent or are an instrument for carrying out God's will. We know that being an intercessor is a term typically used as one who prays for others. To take it a step further, we can be ministers through providing food, counseling, physical, emotional & financial support, education and bible study.

Rules for being an intercessor as listed presentationministries.com
 
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS OF INTERCESSION
  1. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy strength" (Dt 6:5, our translation).
  2. Thou shalt have God choose each member of an intercessory prayer group.
  3. Thou shalt not intercede without first hearing God.
  4. Thou shalt be as specific as possible.
  5. Thou shalt have expectant faith.
  6. Thou shalt love thy enemies.
  7. Thou shalt expect spiritual warfare.
  8. Thou shalt commit thyself to intercede for a set period of time.
  9. Thou shalt change thy life-style.
  10. Thou shalt not be too rigid about some of these guidelines.
