IN Acts Chapter 16 Paul and Silas were in prison. They had just been beaten and then shackled to the floor in the center of the prison. In other words they were in solitary confinement. They began to pray and sing. It says that all the prisoners heard them. Paul and Silas were worshiping on behalf of the other inmates and prison guard. There worship affected all those that were around them. This is intercessory worship. Intercession and worship go hand in glove. They belong together.

How does intercessory prayer make a difference in others?
For centuries, Christians have believed and hoped that intercessory prayer makes a difference for others. Recently, some tests were carried out, with mixed results because of poor methodologies and the failure to ensure participation is 'blind' both to the patient and the doctor.In 2005, the John Templeton Foundation conducted a carefully designed, double-blind trial of the effect of intercessary prayer on the outcome of surgery. The intention was to evaluate whether (1) receiving intercessory prayer or (2) being certain of receiving intercessory prayer was associated with uncomplicated recovery after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. It was felt that previous trials showing a benefit had used sub-optimal methods of data analysis, non standard methods of randomization and allocation concealment, and untested outcome measures, while those showing no effect had insufficient statistical power to reach this conclusion.Patients at 6 US hospitals were randomly assigned to one of 3 groups: 604 received intercessory prayer after being informed they may or may not receive prayer; 597 did not receive intercessory prayer, also after being informed they may or may not receive prayer; and 601 received intercessory prayer after being informed they would receive prayer. Intercessory prayer was provided for 14 days, starting the night before CABG. Any complication within 30 days of CABG would be regarded as a primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were any major event and mortality.- ResultsIn the two groups uncertain about receiving intercessory prayer, complications occurred in:· 52% (315/604) of patients who received intercessory prayer· 51% (304/597) of those who did not receive intercessory prayerComplications occurred in 59% (352/601) of patients who knew they received intercessory prayer. It was suggested that the patient's knowledge that he or she was being prayed for could have caused anxiety, thus resulting in a worse outcome.Major events and 30-day mortality were similar across the 3 groups.- Templeton Foundation ConclusionsIntercessory prayer itself had no effect on complication-free recovery, but certainty of receiving intercessory prayer was associated with a higher incidence of complications.

Why does God not help the ill and injured people?
A:If God is real then surely he would help the sick and injured. Indeed, the John Templeton Foundation, a conservative Christian organisation, believed that it could prove the existence of God by demonstrating that he answers prayers for the seriously ill.In 2005, the Foundation conducted a carefully designed, double-blind trial of the effect of intercessary prayer on the outcome of surgery. The intention was to evaluate whether (1) receiving intercessory prayer or (2) being certain of receiving intercessory prayer was associated with uncomplicated recovery after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. It was felt that previous trials showing a benefit had used sub-optimal methods of data analysis, non standard methods of randomization and allocation concealment, and untested outcome measures, while those showing no effect had insufficient statistical power to reach this conclusion.. Patients at 6 US hospitals were randomly assigned to one of 3 groups: 604 received intercessory prayer after being informed they may or may not receive prayer; 597 did not receive intercessory prayer, also after being informed they may or may not receive prayer; and 601 received intercessory prayer after being informed they would receive prayer. Intercessory prayer was provided for 14 days, starting the night before CABG. Any complication within 30 days of CABG would be regarded as a primary outcome. Secondary outcomes were any major event and mortality.- ResultsIn the two groups uncertain about receiving intercessory prayer, complications occurred in:52% (315/604) of patients who received intercessory prayer51% (304/597) of those who did not receive intercessory prayerComplications occurred in 59% (352/601) of patients who knew they received intercessory prayer. It was suggested that the patient's knowledge that he or she was being prayed for could have caused anxiety, thus resulting in a worse outcome.Major events and 30-day mortality were similar across the 3 groups.The Templeton Foundation concluded that intercessory prayer itself had no effect on complication-free recovery, but certainty of receiving intercessory prayer was associated with a higher incidence of complications. We could go further and conclude that God does not help the sick and injured because he is not real.
Why do you have faith that God can heal yet he still doesn't heal you?
AnswerIn 2005, the John Templeton Foundation conducted a carefully designed, double-blind trial of the effect of intercessary prayer on the outcome of surgery. Some of those who received intercessory prayers knew that they were being prayed for, while some did not. The outcome of this, the most sciientific study of the power of prayer in healing, was quite conclusive - the was no benefit for those who received prayers1While faith in God may provide comfort in difficult times, you should not expect God to heal you.Footnote1In the two groups uncertain about receiving intercessory prayer, complications occurred in: 52% of patients who received intercessory prayer and 51% (304/597) of those who did not receive intercessory prayer. Complications occurred in 59% (352/601) of patients who knew they received intercessory prayer, perhaps because the patient's knowledge that he or she was being prayed for could have caused anxiety, thus resulting in a worse outcome.
Where in the New Testament is 'intercessory' found?
The word "intercessory" doesn't appear in the King James, New King James or NIV versions. "Intercession" is found in the following verses of the King James: Romans 8:26, 27 and 34 Romans 11:2 1 Timothy 2:1 Hebrews 7:25 A synonym for intercessory, "mediator," is found in the following: Galatians 3:19, 20 1 Timothy 2:5 Hebrews 8:6 Hebrews 9:15 Hebrews 12:24
Do prayers bring material things?
There has been no formal study of whether prayer brings material things. Those who pray and happen to receive what they prayed for may well attribute their good fortune to prayer, while those who do not receive what they pray for probably do not then conclude that prayer has no value. However there has been a scietifically controlled study of whether intercessory prayer results in better outcomes from surgery. If intercessory prayer results in better outcomes it is possible that prayer also brings material things. The trial, conducted by the John Templeton Foundation in 2005, concluded that intercessory prayer did not result in better outcomes from surgery. Since intercessory prayer does not result in better outcomes for the seriously ill, prayers are unlikely to bring material things.
