Christian Prayer›SECTION ONE PRAYER IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE›CHAPTER ONE THE REVELATION OF PRAYER - THE UNIVERSAL CALL TO PRAYER›III. Prayer of Intercession
The first Christian communities lived this form of fellowship intensely. Thus the Apostle Paul gives them a share in his ministry of preaching the Gospel but also intercedes for them. The intercession of Christians recognizes no boundaries: "for all men, for kings and all who are in high positions," for persecutors, for the salvation of those who reject the Gospel.
