Vine's Expository Dictionary of New Testament Words
A-1 Noun Strong's Number: g1783 Greek: enteuxis

Intercessions:

primarily denotes "a lighting upon, meeting with" (akin to B); then, "a conversation;" hence, "a petition," a meaning frequent in the papyri; it is a technical term for approaching a king, and so for approaching God in "intercession;" it is rendered "prayer" in 1Ti 4:5; in the plural in 1Ti 2:1 (i.e., seeking the presence and hearing of God on behalf of others). For the synonymous words, proseuche, deesis, see PRAYER.

B-1 Verb Strong's Number: g1793 Greek: entunchano

Intercessions:

primarily "to fall in with, meet with in order to converse;" then, "to make petition," especially "to make intercession, plead with a person," either for or against others;

(a) against, Act 25:24, "made suit to (me)," RV [AV, "have dealt with (me)"], i.e., against Paul; in Rom 11:2, of Elijah in "pleading" with God, RV (AV, "maketh intercession to"), against Israel;

(b) for, in Rom 8:27, of the intercessory work of the Holy Spirit for the saints; Rom 8:34, of the similar intercessory work of Christ; so Hbr 7:25.
See DEAL WITH, PLEAD, SUIT.
