Something came to me...even out of my own experience.Let's say one Christian is doing something{maybe doesn't realize what} that's is a roadblock to getting his prayers answered, but then that person calls in say a prayer line, and the person praying for him on the prayer line is doing everything "right" in their Christian walk, with no "blockages" to their prayers, which wins out? Does the "blockage" because of person A wrongdoing win, or does the clean record of the one praying for them hold more weight with God?I've wondered about this...any input on this?

Which wins out?

Romans 2v11
New International Version
For God does not show favoritism.
King James Bible
For there is no respect of persons with God

Not really "favoritism" per say, but I mean the first person is without realizing it is doing something that is creating a roadblock to their chances, but the person they call to pray FOR THEM is not doing that, just wondering if that would increase person As chances?
Intercessor
Beloved of All
Steven, 1) we should not be looking for human agency primarily to be an intercessor when God has already provided one in His Son Jesus Christ, for which reason we pray in His Name
2) Not to exclude the mutual intercession of the body of Christ, for the body ought to follow the Head, but even the prayers of the church are only sanctified by the intercession of Christ, our mouthpiece to God, in whom we have redemption, and status to approach God 24/7, but the major thing would be a lack of awareness of the Spirit of adoption, or the witness of the Spirit.
3) Since The Father called us with a holy calling, He is ever looking to confirm us to the image of His Son, into whom we are predestined to be conformed. With that being the overarching purpose for which we were created, The Holy Spirit will always seek to bring us from glory to glory. If we are reading through the Bible, it won’t be very long until we come to a passage that reminds us to not be as the horse or mule which need to be prodded into obedience. With that I mean surrender — it is hard to kick against the goads.
4) The main thing is that hopefully we move past the part of merely praying for ourselves onto praying and working to help sanctify the church to witness and pray for the lost to be converted and the gospel to be preached throughout the whole world so that the end will come. Even in this we are lining up with Christ’s last instructions before ascending. It used to be popular to wear the W.W.J.D. bracelet (what would Jesus do). I have often thought it should have been, W.I.J.D.? — What is Jesus Doing? — The answer? He is ever living to make intercession.

I was watching the news. The anchorman asked one of the doctors in the state of New York, “What do you need?” The doctor answered, “We need prayer.” Please continue to pray and intercede as the Lord leads you for the sick, all the medical staff and employees that are working in those hospitals (including Administration and Custodians).

Yeah but there are other problems besides coronavirus and the physical. I don't put all my eggs in one basket. Let's pray for ANYONE who has problems.Is someone with a different problem any less important?I was watching the news.

You do that, and I will, for now, pray for the Coronavirus situation.

And I still hold the opinion that we're doing it at the expense of overlooking other peoples problems.There's no "ratings sheet" on one problem being more "important" than another. My Bible reads,"And He{Jesus} went about healing ALL manner of sickness."To put all our eggs in one basket,while ignoring everyone elses problems, is , to me, being judgemental, like deciding this problem is somehow more grave then any other problem.Sure you're entitled to do it, but I still quote the Bible, "And He went around healing ALL manner of sickness, and ALL who were oppressed by the devil"The devil is misleading people into thinking it's the only problem we should pray for, while neglecting everyone else.
