No,of course not!Hello brothers and sisters in Christ,
I just want to point out regarding the use of the word “interceding or intercede or intercession” ; I believe many misunderstand the word and apply “that word” not in its correct usage. Of course, you guys can correct me if I am wrong.
This is what I have heard :
Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession FOR THE TRANSGRESSORS. -Isaiah 53:12
So the Lord makes intercession for the transgressors or offenders.
So the word the interceding or intercessory or intercede can only be applied for transgressors or offenders. And I don’t think when you use the word “interceding for”, you mean those people are transgressors or offenders. Are they ?
Deliberate offenders? Doesn't that depend upon the subject's immediate condition? He may have demons, then again, he may be just another who 'has neither part nor lot in the matter'.So the word the interceding or intercessory or intercede can only be applied for transgressors or offenders.

Open to all objections here, a hard one to fully know which side to approach this from since, as I understand it, the term can be used to come to the aid of all. From the cross came His intercession over them who did evil out of ignorance. Otherwise, Paul pleads with the flock to intercede for those caught in ,
- To plead on another's behalf.
- To act as mediator in a dispute.
- To come between; pass or occur intermediately; intervene.
", , trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness
Excellent Santoso! I do have a question.Thanks for giving me light in what you understand about the word “intercede”.
Yes, it is true that we can use the term “intercede” to mean to plead on behalf but on behalf of the offenders or transgressors.
If you are asking deliberate offenders or not, I consider that all people should reflect on God’s words to find the truth.
For the message post in this thread, I consider that many misuse the word “ intercede” when actually many posts are “supplications” or prayer of supplications, that is, to plead humbly before God for help.
As we have heard that apostle Paul differentiate “intercession” with supplication:
First of all, then, I urge that SUPPLICATIONS, prayers, INTERCESSIONS, and thanksgivings be made for all people, -1 Timothy 2:1
Yes, I know many post in good intentions and in good faith; I am not here to blame or judge anyone; I just want to point how the term” intercede” is used in the Bible. Our context in using the term “intercede” should align to what we have been taught in the Holy Scripture and not into using the term “intercede” according to our understanding; we may miss what the Holy Scripture means.
This is also what we have heard:
Likewise the Spirit HELPS US in our WEAKNESS. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself INTERCEDES FOR US with groanings too deep for words. -Romans 8:26
For every high priest chosen from among men is appointed to act on behalf of men in relation to God, to offer gifts and SACRIFICES FOR SINS. -Hebrews 5:1
He can deal gently with the ignorant and wayward, since he himself is beset with WEAKNESS. -Hebrews 5:2
Because of this he is OBLIGATED TO OFFER SACRIFICE for his own sins just as he does for those of the people. -Hebrews 5:3
but he ( Jesus) holds his priesthood permanently, because he ( Jesus) continues forever. -Hebrews 7:24
Consequently, he is able to SAVE TO THE UTTERMOST those who draw near to God through him, since he ALWAYS LIVES TO MAKE INTERCESSION FOR THEM. -Hebrews 7:25
He has no need, like those high priests, to offer sacrifices daily, first for his own sins and then for those of the people, since he DID THIS ONCE FOR ALL WHEN HE OFFERED UP HIMSELF. -Hebrews 7:27
Do you see the context, how the term “intercede” being used in the Holy Scripture?
Even God the Father have said the word “intercession” Himself :
Therefore I ( God the Father ) will divide him (Christ Jesus) a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he ( Jesus) poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes INTERCESSION FOR THE TRANSGRESSORS. -Isaiah 53:12
May the truth set you free. GBU
Praying with you,'Sunshinee',for the homeless.I think a lot of homeless people and want to pray for them that they will be drawn closer to God and be fed, safe, warm and content and hopefully their situation will get better in time. In Jesus name, Amen.
Excellent Santoso! I do have a question.
Since we do speak with the tongue of men and of angels, is why I supplied the common thinking-man’s definition. Now I don’t attempt to drown out any number of citations, and even your post shows reserved quantities to some rather important instances of intercessory occurrence.
Still, just to be sure, that is basically what your concern here is and not anything I said that may be viewed as subtracting from the voice of the Spirit in scripture?
Interceding for those in authority! 'I urge,then,first of all,that petitions' (We pray for personal needs (as Jesus did in John 17) 'prayer' (General term for communicating with God),'intercession' (Praying for others,as Jesus did in John 17) 'and then thanksgiving' (Giving thanks in prayer) 'be made for all people,for Kings and all in authority' (1 Timothy 2:1-2)
, ,to which Dear Santoso, I aligned. Look forward to seeing you in the forums!My concern is to reaffirm how the word “intercede” in the Holy Scripture context that we should use the word “intercede” appropriately.
so just for facts.....
, , an appeal to renew your original request. With that in mind, all you who are spiritual to invoke God's strength against every stronghold be thrown down attempting to somehow profit while the lives of God's people across the globe pay a most heavy, heavy price!Interceding for the US residents struggling financially due to the loss of pandemic resources. May the Lord meet them in their lack and encourage our political leaders to compromise and approve a bill to restore their benefits.
Yours in His Service,
