The Call of Intercession: Deep Prayer & Deliverance with Guest Peggy Foster | S2 Ep16 (2025)
In this episode of the Closer to Jesus Podcast, I’m honored to welcome Peggy Foster—a powerful woman of prayer, former Pastor, and founder of the Arkansas Intercessory Prayer Network.
Today’s conversation is a must-listen for anyone who feels called to deeper intercession, desires to grow a stronger prayer life, or wants to understand more about deliverance ministry.
We cover so much in this powerful episode, including:
-Peggy’s personal journey in prayer and how she became a trusted voice in intercession.
-What it means to carry a true call of intercession vs. simply praying for others.
-Biblical examples of powerful intercessors, including Moses, Daniel, and Esther.
-Her book Joshua’s Tent and how it equips the body of Christ in prayer and presence.
-What deliverance really looks like—breaking down the difference between possession and oppression.
-Encouragement for those who feel drawn to prayer teams and intercessory ministry.
📖 Key Scriptures Referenced in Conversation:
Ezekiel 22:30 – “And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap...”
James 5:16 – “The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
1 Timothy 2:1 – “I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men.”
Whether you're seasoned in prayer or just beginning, this episode will stir your spirit and encourage you to press in. God is still raising up intercessors who will stand in the gap for families, churches, and nations.
