The Praying Church by Edmund Salas Pdf

Many of us long to see God move mightily in response to our prayers. We’ve heard of such stories. And some of us have experienced them. But how can we start a prayer ministry at our own church that is biblically based, responsible, and shows sensitive compassion for others? Praying with God’s power is not permission to “get weird,” launch into “spooky prayers,” or alienate the rest of the church. Walking in our authority in Christ can be done with established ministry protocols that enhance your own church culture. The Praying Church shows us how to build safe, sustainable, team-based ministries of prayer that deepen our trust in each other and ensure that God, alone, gets the glory. Salas shares accounts from his own journey of spiritual formation—from saying “anemic” prayers to declaring life-giving words of blessing and power, ushering him into a deeper intimacy with God that his heart has always longed for. The biblically solid approach in The Praying Church honors theologically conservative traditions while embracing individuals no matter where they are in their faith journey.

Praying with the Church by Scot McKnight Pdf

Scot McKnight, best-selling author of The Jesus Creed, invites readers to get closer to the heart of Jesus' message by discovering the ancient rhythms of daily prayer at the heart of the early church. "This is the old path of praying as Jesus prayed," McKnight explains, "and in that path, we learn to pray along with the entire Church and not just by ourselves as individuals." Praying with the Church is written for all Christians who desire to know more about the ancient devotional traditions of the Christian faith, and to become involved in their renaissance today. With his trademark style of getting right to the heart of theological concepts through practical, witty, and memorable examples from everyday life, Scot invites readers to explore: How Jesus prayed, How the Psalms teach us to pray, How Orthodox Christians pray, How Roman Catholics pray, How Anglicans pray, How The Divine Hours of Phyllis Tickle teaches us to pray, And, how praying with the church is an essential part of spiritual formation.

A Praying Life by Paul E. Miller Pdf

More than 300,000 copies sold! Now updated and expanded! Prayer is hard. Often, unless circumstances demand it—such as an illness or saying grace before a meal—most of us simply do not pray. This kind of prayerlessness can leave us with a distressed spirit and practical unbelief characterized by fear, anxiety, joylessness, and spiritual depression. A Praying Life has encouraged thousands of Christians to pursue a vibrant prayer life full of joy and power. A life of prayer invites you to a life of connection to God. When Jesus describes the intimacy that He seeks with us, He talks about joining us for dinner (Revelation 3:20). This book reminds readers that prayer is simply making conversation with God a rhythm of life. Now with added chapters addressing prayers of lament and further guidance for using prayer cards, Paul Miller invites you to foster prayer that regularly hopes, trusts, and expects God to act. Learn to develop helpful habits and approaches to prayer that will enable you to return to a childlike faith and witness spiritual growth today! “This book will be like having the breath of God at your back. Let it lift you to new hope.” —Dan B. Allender, PhD, author of Bold Love

A Praying Church: The Neglected Blessing of Corporate Prayer by Dennis Gundersen,Larry Dean Pdf

“One of the greatest debilitating factors in current Christianity is the disappearance of the Prayer Meeting. This book will hopefully encourage pastors, individual Christians, and churches to rethink the issue and give themselves to a recovery of the great prayer engine which has energized the church since the First Century.” — Larry W. Dean, Pastor, Bridgetown Baptist Church, Nesbit, Mississippi “The prayer meeting is the most necessary but neglected facet of Divine worship. Dennis Gundersen has written a practical and biblical guide to assist pastors in implementing or improving their corporate prayer meetings. I highly recommend it.” — Derek Melton, Senior Pastor, Grace Life Church, Pryor, Oklahoma

The Potential and Power of Prayer by Chuck Lawless Pdf

Why is it a struggle to pray? Respected professor, speaker, and pastor Dr. Chuck Lawless explores the power of a praying church and how it can transform your ministry. Through prayer, we have access to the all-powerful living God. Even so, too many of us are tempted to start our days prayerless and feeling alone. How can this be? We can’t afford to be so negligent, because whether we realize it or not we all face a high-stakes spiritual battle when we step out into our communities. In The Potential and Power of Prayer, Chuck Lawless illustrates how churches need to take prayer seriously in order to grow; explores how Jesus and the early church depended on God through prayer; explains how prayer is essential to preparing for spiritual battles; and guides church leaders in establishing the priority of prayer and a thriving prayer ministry in their churches. God chooses to move among Christians who humbly come to him in prayer; who depend on him for strength and guidance.

Prayer by John Onwuchekwa Pdf

What is the role of corporate prayer in the church? Prayer is as necessary to the Christian as breathing is to the human body— but it often doesn’t come quite as naturally. In fact, prayer in the church often gets subtly pushed to the side in favor of pragmatic practices that promise tangible results. This book focuses on the necessity of regular prayer as a central practice in the local church—awakening us to the need and blessing of corporate prayer by examining what Jesus taught about prayer, how the first Christians approached prayer, and how to prioritize prayer in our congregations.
