Prophetic Intercession

What Is Prophetic Intercession?

Praying With The Holy Spirit

Prophetic intercession is simply put, prayer led by the Holy Spirit. We can pray the scriptures, for things we want or need, or for things that are in agreement with the word, and while all of this is very good, we can be praying without communing with the Holy Spirit. Prophetic prayer is about fellowship with the Holy Spirit, and praying what is on the heart of God. As we go to the nations and intercede for peoples, governments, leaders, and geo-political issues, we cannot lean on our own understanding, but we must step into the will of the Father by praying in step with the Spirit, in the Spirit, and by revelation of the Holy Spirit.

Testimonies of Prophetic Prayer

Below are several testimonies of how God moved mightily in the nations as we stepped into prayer in faith with the Holy Spirit.

Ahead of traveling to Israel, the Lord asked us to go to France. We arrived with one clear assignment: go to President Macron’s residence, Palace Elysee, and pray for him. We were burdened to prayed for the government, the people of France, and wells of revival to spring forth in the nation starting from the President’s household, but truly our greatest burden was the immense love of the Father for Emmanuel Macron. We prayed for his heart, his salvation, and for the Lord’s favor and goodness to be upon Him.

As we left the Palace, we wondered why there was such urgency to pray for the President. In the days to come we continued to pray for him all the way to Israel. Our children continued to lift him and his family in prayer.

When We arrived in Israel and the war with Iran began, the central figure making the headlines next to Benjamin Netanyahu was Emmanuel Macron. At this time tensions were running high regarding France and Israel due to France leading the world in an effort to form a Palestinian nation. Macron had scheduled UN talks in New York in the coming weeks to discuss the creation of a Palestinian state with Saudi Arabia. Many believed that Macron would use the war between Israel and Iran to further fuel the demonic agenda to break apart Israel. However to the world’s surprise, Macron took a strong stance in support of Israel’s right to defend itself. Macron condemned Iran and the Palestinian state talks were postponed. We were astonished how the LORD strategically positioned us in Paris ahead of the 12 day war with such urgency to pray for the French President.

While we realize the overall position that Macron has on Israel has not changed, the Lord shifted his heart and the nations in a critical moment that altered the outcome of the war and brought protection to Israel and stability to the Middle East by his support of Israel. His support of Israel was key in leading the response for the rest of the pro-palestinian nations. Our God is truly El Shama, “the God who hears” us.

Join us in praying for Emmanuel Macron to repent and turn to Jesus, for the nation of France to experience an outpouring of the Holy Spirit bringing repentance and the refreshing of God.
