Satan doesn't want you to see this message because the power of prayer is great.

Prayer has the power to and is the only way for you to move the heavens on behalf of those for whom you pray.

Prayer has the power to impact those you love as well as your whole country and even the whole world.

Acute Intercessory Prayer is how to pray effectively in the battlefield wherewith we join forces with God to bring down the strongholds of the enemy.

Be Guided By James
James 5:13-18

13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.

14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Acute Intercessory Prayer is earnest and effectual prayer which comes against the wiles of the wicked one.

Fervent prayer that understands the urgent need for intercession.

Prayers with only concern for selfish gain have flooded the heavens to no avail.

God Looks for Intercessors
Ezekiel 22:30-31

30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.

31 Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord God.

"When God knew of a ruined situation, which was happening to His people, He would share His anguish then seek out a man of prayer and baptize him in anguish." ~ David Wilkerson

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

More Scripture About Prayer
Matthew 26:36-42

36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

Include in your prayers with humility, like Jesus, that you are praying for that which is God's will.

Jesus showed obedience even unto death though His prayer that 'this cup pass from me' before He was nailed to the cross was not the will of God.

Romans 8:26-28

26 Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.

28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.

Jude 20-21

20 But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost,

21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Who to Pray For
Pray for your family. Pray for your friends. Pray for your enemies. Pray for your country. Pray for the Lord's Martyrs. Pray for the Lord's Churches. Pray for the Christian Missionaries. Pray for the poor. You can also petition for yourself, but save this for last.

Satan trembles when he sees even the weakest followers of Christ on their knees.
