Intercession . . .
a. Luke 11:1 And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord,
teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. 2 And he said unto them, When ye pray, say, Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven, so in earth. 3 Give us day by day our daily bread. 4 And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. 5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend me three loaves; 6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him? 7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot rise and give thee. 8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and give him as many as he needeth. KJV
i. Importunity - troublesomely urgent, overly persistent with a request (Merriam Webster Online)
1) Strongs numbers combined = Alpha (first letter of the Hebrew alphabet) and Impudence (lacking modesty and having
boldness)
ii. God is literally looking for those men of the earth who will stand in the gap, putting others first, seeking "bread" for those
around them Romans 9:3 iii. Luke 18:2
