True intercession involves bringing the person, or the circumstance that seems to be crashing in on you, before God, until you are changed by His attitude toward that person or circumstance. People describe intercession by saying, "It is putting yourself in someone elseโs place." That is not true! Intercession is putting yourself in Godโs place; it is having His mind and His perspective.

Oswald ChambersGod did not direct His call to Isaiahโ Isaiah overheard God saying, ". . . who will go for Us?" The call of God is not just for a select few but for everyone. Whether I hear Godโs call or not depends on the condition of my ears, and exactly what I hear depends upon my spiritual attitude.
Oswald ChambersTolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are.
