How to Interpret Dreams and Visions Perry Stone

Soon the number dropped to ten, and God agreed to stop the destruction if ten righteous people were found in Sodom (Gen. 18:23–33). This action taken by Abraham is called intercession . The act of interceding is when one person stands in place for another to prevent the other person from experiencing judgment, danger, or destruction. For example, Christ is now in the heavenly temple, standing to represent us as our eternal High Priest, and He “always lives to make intercession for them” (Heb. 7:25). An intercessor is one who makes a petition on behalf of another. In our case, when we sin we need a person who serves as a lawyer (called an advocate in 1 John 2:1) to represent us in heaven, because Satan, the “accuser of the brethren,” much like a prosecutor in a courtroom, is continually hurling accusations before the eternal throne against us (Rev. 12:10). We have an intercessor in heaven, Jesus Christ, and a Comforter on the earth, the Holy Spirit (John 14:16, 26). My precious father had taught me for years that a warning dream does not always mean that what you see is set to happen and cannot be prevented. But the dream can be given so that the person receiving it can pray to prevent the event from coming to pass .
