All effective intercession is Holy Spirit orchestrated and full of love and all of the fruit of Holy Spirit. True effective intercessors are in love with God, themselves and everyone else. True effective priests of God are passionate for the Kingdom of God and His righteousness to be demonstrated in the earth to those for whom we are advocating.
Doing anything outside the voice and ability of God is legalism and produces death. This is not intercession according to the will of God. If I function under this modus operandi then I cannot truly represent the love of the Father. Works other than the loving works of the Father promotes fear, torment and terror.
The word intercession to most in the present church conjures up thoughts of closet prayer . This is most unfortunate. Most saints are not called to stay in a closet but are called to embrace the word of God received in the closet. We are not just hearers of the word of God…but doers. This is true intercession.
Intercession of course does include closet prayer . Intercession for the most part is walking out the will of God producing life. The good news is that many Christians are powerful advocates and intercessors of God and spend very little time in a closet. One simply has to look at the earthly advocacy of Jesus to see that the ratio of closet prayer to shoe leather prayer was overwhelmingly in favor of shoe leather advocacy. Shoe leather priests are those who hear in the closet of their heart and walk out that which they have heard. Could it be that we are now the closets of God? My wife Kay testifies that some of the most profound revelations and directives came to her at the kitchen sink while walking out the will of God to clean our dishes. I am now and forever coining this God given phrase Shoe Leather Priests . Jesus was and is a Shoe Leather Priest.

The Society of Jesus (Latin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin_language): Societas Iesu, S.J., SJ or SI) is a Christian male religious order (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_%28religious%29) of the Roman Catholic Church (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Catholic_Church). The members are called Jesuits and are also known colloquially as "God's Marines",[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Jesus#cite_note-2) these being references to founder Ignatius of Loyola (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignatius_of_Loyola)'s military background and members' willingness to accept orders anywhere in the world and live in extreme conditions. The society is engaged in evangelization (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelization) and apostolic ministry in 112 nations on six continents. The society's founding principles are contained in the document Formula of the Institute (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_of_Jesus#Formula_of_the_Institute_of_the_S ociety_of_Jesus), written by Ignatius of Loyola. Jesuits are known for their work in education (founding schools, colleges, universities and seminaries), intellectual research, and cultural pursuits, and for their missionary (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missionary) efforts. Jesuits also give retreats, minister in hospitals and parishes and promote social justice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_justice) and ecumenical dialogue (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecumenism).
