Devotion 5: Intercessor’s Heart
(Colossians 4:2-4 – Devotion to Prayer)
The Watchman’s Call
“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ.” – Colossians 4:2-3
The heart of an intercessor is not born from personal ambition but from divine burden. Intercessors are called to stand on the wall like the watchmen in ancient Israel—seeing beyond the present, discerning the spiritual atmosphere, and crying out for God’s will to be done (Isaiah 62:6-7).
Paul, while in prison, does not ask for personal relief; instead, he asks for prayer that the gospel may advance. This is the true intercessor’s heart—praying not for comfort but for Kingdom breakthrough.
Standing in the Gap
The role of an intercessor is to stand in the gap for others (Ezekiel 22:30). This is a priestly role, much like Moses, who interceded for Israel when God was ready to bring judgment (Exodus 32:11-14).
An intercessor must have:
- A Burden from the Spirit – True intercession does not come from human concern but from the Ruach HaKodesh placing a weight in our hearts.
- Endurance in Prayer – Paul says, “Continue steadfastly in prayer”—this is not occasional prayer, but consistent, unshaken devotion.
- Kingdom Focus – Our prayers must align with God’s will, not just human needs. We pray for revival, salvation, and divine strategy to be released.
Application for Intercessors
- Ask for the Right Burdens – Not every burden is ours to carry. Ask the Ruach HaKodesh what He is calling you to intercede for (Romans 8:26-27).
- Pray for Open Doors – Like Paul, intercede for opportunities for the gospel to go forth in nations, cities, and lives (2 Thessalonians 3:1).
- Remain Watchful – A good watchman is always alert. Pray with discernment over spiritual attacks, open doors, and divine assignments (1 Peter 5:8).
Prayer for Intercessors
“Father, give me the heart of an intercessor. Teach me to stand in the gap, discerning the times and seasons. Let me not be weary in prayer, but steadfast in faith, knowing that my prayers shift the atmosphere. Open doors for Your Word to go forth, and let my intercession align with Heaven. In Yeshua’s name, Amen.”
