The last thing Beni Johnson (right) wanted to be was one of those “depressing” intercessors. For years, she had watched numerous prayer warriors live joyless, burdened and isolated lives. Yet in 1995, the Lord called Beni to stand in the gap in a unique way—with profound joy. Now both the senior pastor and director of Bethel Church’s Prayer House, she has established a new foundation for intercession that ushers in the supernatural. Ministry Today editor Marcus Yoars talked with Beni about tips for rallying closet intercessors, incorporating intercession into corporate worship services and using radical prayer to change cities.
