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.

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.

A Better Way to Pray by Andrew Wommack Pdf

After nearly four decades of ministry, Andrew Wommack has discovered some important truths about prayer. His prayer life is much different than it was thirty years ago and the results have dramatically improved! You may be asking many of the same questions Andrew once did. Is prayer my Christian duty? Is prayer primarily about asking God to meet my needs and the needs of others? Is God's answer to my prayer based on the degree of my humility and sincerity? Is answered prayer a sovereign decision of God or do I have the ability to influence Him? Clear, scriptural answers to these questions and more could significantly change the way you pray. These principles may not be the only way to pray, but if you're not getting the results you desire, consider changing directions; maybe there is A Better Way to Pray.
