Awakening to Prayer by Augustine Ichiro Okumura, OCD Pdf
This book is an introduction to prayer, drawing on Eastern and Western traditions. Translated from the original Japanese into Dutch, French, German, Italian, Korean, and Spanish, Awakening to Prayer has already become a modern spiritual classic. In this simple yet profound book, Japanese Carmelite Augustine Ichiro Okumura explores the fundamental nature and root of prayer, the human and divine reality that underlies all praying. Drawing on the images, stories, and insights of Eastern and Western spiritual traditions, the author considers prayer as conversation, as listening, as resting in the divine. In a long chapter on the "anthropology of prayer," he discusses the relationship between prayer times and other daily activities, the need for both repeated ritual and silence, the problem of distractions and deviations in prayer. The book culminates in a moving reflection on Christ's prayer and what it means to pray authentically as a Christian.

Stop hitting the spiritual snooze button. Would you describe your walk with God as fresh and exciting? Would you describe your spiritual life as vibrant and passionate? If not, would you like these attributes to be the norm in your everyday relationship with God? Are you ready to experience an awakening? Awakening helps you stir up your slumbering soul. You’ll discover how to break out of your season of dryness or get off to a great start either in the New Year or the next season in life. Take your faith-walk from a “going through the motions” or “have to” mindset to the stimulating, fresh “want to” experience of enjoying God’s presence—24/7. Weems encourages you to surrender fully, to discover the right kind of fuel for the journey, and to learn a new way to pray and fast. This lifestyle is not based on rules or religion, but on a deep, satisfying, motivating relationship with God. Included in Awakening is a 21-Day Plan that will guide you through the principles that ensure a lasting, fresh relationship with God—even in a world where everything quickly becomes stale. “It’s time to wake up and put an end to spiritual sluggishness! I promise this year will be the best of your life if it is your best year spiritually.” – Stovall Weems

What the World Needs Now is An Awakening In 2007, God spoke to Jennifer LeClaire about a Third Great Awakening in America. He later told her the awakening would spill over the shores of the United States and impact many nations-just like the Azusa Street Revival that birthed the Pentecostal Movement. The Lord also told Jennifer it would grow darker before the light shined brightly again. This is Scriptural as Isaiah 60:2 tells us, "Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the LORD rises and appears over you." When revival comes, Isaiah 9:2 will be true, "The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; Those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them a light has shined." It all starts with a personal awakening. Jennifer LeClaire, a prophetic revivalist who has been laboring in the prayer movement for the last twenty-years, has developed a 21-day devotional with prayers and decrees that will spark a personal awakening-and equip you to pray for revival and awakening in your nation. As the founder of Awakening House of Prayer, her life's work is to gather, train and mobilize intercessors who push back darkness and watch God heal nations. This powerful book features chapters that offer Scriptures, strategies and prayers, including: -Understanding conditions for revival and awakening -What hinders God from moving in a nation -Prophetic words about revival and awakening -Strategic prayers and decrees that drive results God is looking for intercessors in this hour who will stand in the gap and make up the hedge. When you pray and decree God's way, you'll see changes in your life, your family, your city and nation.
