The ultimate aim of intercession is evangelism.
To God, nobody is a “nobody.” Each individual has a value beyond computation. Our prayers should be in direct proportion to the desperate wickedness from which people need saving. The worse the wickedness, the greater the intercession. Nobody should have to go through life without somebody praying for him (or her).
Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Timothy 2:1–4).
So the ultimate aim of intercession is evangelism: “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Intercession is not a say-so, but a heart-cry. Not “Lord, bless me and everybody everywhere, Amen!” Our Lord Jesus prayed for us until He sweat drops of blood! He even prayed for the soldiers hammering nails through His quivering flesh.
