Intercession in Action, by Norman Grubb, details his life’s experience as a “royal priest” and intercessor. Norman emphasizes that intercession is more than intensified prayer; it’s a ‘death and resurrection process’ where one lays down their life vicariously for others, resulting in ‘gained intercessions.’ After detailing five major intercessions in his own life, Norman highlights the core principle in each being “death working in us, but life in you,’ where personal sacrifice and obedience of faith lead to transformative outcomes for others. This principle, however, has its foundations in the Total Truth of there being no independent human self that can accomplish anything–we are merely vessels containing Christ, The Intercessor–and we must know “His total indwelling of us and our inner union with Him as His means of expressing Himself” in order to experience the Holy Spirit in intercessory action in our human forms.
