This document discusses the concepts of authority, intercession, and identificational confession. It emphasizes that God has given authority and responsibility to mankind to fulfill His redemptive plan and enforce His covenants on Earth. Effective intercession requires identification, agony/travail, and exercising authority. The inner court role of intercession is key to defeating spiritual enemies and seeing breakthrough in the physical realm. Examples are given of biblical figures like Moses, Jesus and Joseph who powerfully interceded. Transformation of cities and regions starts with repentance, prayer, humility, unity and knowing God's ways.
