Abraham was an intercessor. When the Lord and two angels came to him, the Lord explained to him “We’re going to go on and check on the situation in Sodom. We’ve had a terrible report.” And the two angels went ahead but the Lord tarried, and it says, “Abraham stood before the Lord and he bargained for the people of Sodom.” And you remember he brought Him down -- if they’re fifty, forty-five, forty, thirty, twenty, ten. “If there are ten will you spare the whole city?” The Lord said, “I will,” but He couldn’t find ten. But Abraham standing before the Lord on behalf of Sodom is a beautiful picture of an intercessor. It’s not just praying, it’s taking a position in God.
