Prayer, Part 3: Intercessions

In Part 3 of a four-part Bible study series on the four kinds of prayer from 1 Timothy 2:1, Dr. Chaps delves into intercession (enteuxeis), defined as bold, commanding prayer or interposition between conflicting parties. He explores Scriptures like Romans 8:26-27 (Holy Spirit intercedes with groans), Hebrews 7:25 (Jesus eternally intercedes), Romans 8:34, 1 Timothy 2:5, Isaiah 53:12, and Ezekiel 22:30 (standing in the gap).

Dr. Chaps shares his personal testimony of being punished by the Navy for praying in Jesus' name, leading to intercessory prayers and petitions that resulted in congressional vindication in 2006, restoring chaplains' rights. The episode emphasizes authoritative prayer for reconciliation and ends with a prayer for intercessory power over government.
