WHAT DOES INTERCESSION MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Intercession

Intercession is the act of interceding between two parties. In Christian religious usage, it is a prayer to God on behalf of others. In western forms of Christian worship, intercession forms a distinct form of prayer, alongside Adoration, Confession and Thanksgiving. In public worship, intercession is offered as prayer for the world beyond the immediate vicinity and friendship networks of the church community. As such, intercession constitutes part of the worshipping community's engagement with otherness, as it expresses Christians' solidarity with those who are 'other' than themselves. In so doing, a church both appeals to, and seeks to embody, God's own love for the world. In the Christian Greek Scriptures Apostle Paul’s tailored exhortation to Timothy specified intercession prayers can be made for those of worldly authority where it benefits God’s immediate family members in maintaining their current way of life which negates the use of intercession prayers motivated by love for worldly authority’s.
