From the Latin "to walk between," an entreaty on behalf of another; one of the characteristic prophetic activities
The act of interceding; mediation; interposition between parties at variance, with a view to reconcilation; prayer, petition, or entreaty in favor of, or (less often) against, another or others
Intercession is the act of bringing two parties together through a mediator Jesus is our mediator bringing us together with God
Intercession is a particular type of prayer which is made to God on behalf of others
The gift of Intercession is the special ability God gives to certain members of the body of Christ to pray for extended periods on a regular basis & see frequent & specific answers to their prayers to a degree much greater than that which is expected of the average Christian (see James 5: 14-16, 1 Timothy 2: 1-2, Colos 1: 9-12, Colos 4: 12-13, Acts 12: 12, Luke 22: 41-44)
