Book excerpt: Renowned pastor and New York Times bestselling author of The Prodigal Prophet Timothy Keller explores the power of prayer. Christians are taught in their churches and schools that prayer is the most powerful way to experience God. But few receive instruction or guidance in how to make prayer genuinely meaningful. In Prayer, renowned pastor Timothy Keller delves into the many facets of this everyday act. With his trademark insights and energy, Keller offers biblical guidance as well as specific prayers for certain situations, such as dealing with grief, loss, love, and forgiveness. He discusses ways to make prayers more personal and powerful, and how to establish a practice of prayer that works for each reader. Dr. Keller’s previous books have sold more than one million copies. His Redeemer Presbyterian Church is not only a major presence in his home base of New York, it has also helped to launch more than two hundred fifty other churches in forty-eight cities around the world. His teachings have already helped millions, the majority of whom pray regularly. And with Prayer, he’ll show them how to find a deeper connection with God.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prayer is meant to be powerful and effective because God is powerful and effective. James 5:16 says, "The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful." You are the righteous person the Bible is talking about because you are in Christ Jesus. He makes us "righteous" or "right with God. I want to show you how your prayer should be and can be powerful. This prayer book teaches you how to pray effectively anywhere and any time by simply following the ACTS. ACTS is an acronym for: A - Adoration C - Confession T - Thanksgiving S - Supplication (Simply Asking) God wants your prayer time to be extraordinary. When we pray we should have a real encounter with God. A life-changing, mountain-moving, earth-shaking encounter that keeps us engaged and focused. God wants an intimate relationship with you and it begins in prayer. The very first and most important commandment is to love the Lord your God. How can we love the Lord our God with all our heart if we don't spend time with Him? This book shows you the way to get to know and love the Lord by spending good, quality time with Him, and allows Him to minister to you and take you to places in the Spirit realm you have never been before. It's time for us to grow up in our faith and turn from relying solely on rote prayers. Begin praying from the heart. This takes practice and determination, not because it's hard, but because the devil does not want us to. The Devil tries to keep us from powerful, effective prayers. The ACTS prayer book, helps us grow by providing a tool to teach us how to pray and keep us praying. Follow the steps outlined in "ACTS." These steps will provide you with enough to get you started, keep you on track, and keep you going. Many prayer groups and churches all over the world have implemented this ACTS prayer. I am not sure how or where it started, but I am glad it did.

Download or read book Where the Light Fell written by Philip Yancey and published by Convergent Books. This book was released on 2023-03-14 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this searing meditation on the bonds of family and the allure of extremist faith, one of today’s most celebrated Christian writers recounts his unexpected journey from a strict fundamentalist upbringing to a life of compassion and grace—a revelatory memoir that “invites comparison to Hillbilly Elegy” (Publishers Weekly, starred review). “Searing, heartrending . . . This stunning tale reminds us that the only way to keep living is to ask God for the impossible: love, forgiveness, and hope.”—Kate Bowler, New York Times bestselling author of Everything Happens for a Reason Raised by an impoverished widow who earned room and board as a Bible teacher in 1950s Atlanta, Philip Yancey and his brother, Marshall, found ways to venture out beyond the confines of their eight-foot-wide trailer. But when Yancey was in college, he uncovered a shocking secret about his father’s death—a secret that began to illuminate the motivations that drove his mother to extreme, often hostile religious convictions and a belief that her sons had been ordained for a divine cause. Searching for answers, Yancey dives into his family origins, taking us on an evocative journey from the backwoods of the Bible Belt to the bustling streets of Philadelphia; from trailer parks to church sanctuaries; from family oddballs to fire-and-brimstone preachers and childhood awakenings through nature, music, and literature. In time, the weight of religious and family pressure sent both sons on opposite paths—one toward healing from the impact of what he calls a “toxic faith,” the other into a self-destructive spiral. Where the Light Fell is a gripping family narrative set against a turbulent time in post–World War II America, shaped by the collision of Southern fundamentalism with the mounting pressures of the civil rights movement and Sixties-era forces of social change. In piecing together his fragmented personal history and his search for redemption, Yancey gives testament to the enduring power of our hunger for truth and the possibility of faith rooted in grace instead of fear. “I truly believe this is the one book I was put on earth to write,” says Yancey. “So many of the strands from my childhood—racial hostility, political division, culture wars—have resurfaced in modern form. Looking back points me forward.”

You will be able to release all fear and doubt simply because you know that God gives you the strength. You can utilize this simple, proven technique to regain the lost comforts of joy, love, and fulfillment in your life. God's gift of life is too short to be exhausted on thousands of everyday anxieties and fears.

You can and will become bigger than those struggles by enhancing the positive energy that God already has flowing within you. You are exactly who you think you are, and it's up to you to create those thoughts and manifest them as God's creation. No more lack of faith, motivation, and feelings of doubt in your life. No person can find happiness in an environment beyond his or her control. But you can get up, get out, and take control with God. Get what you want and desire from the world like millions of others around the globe using prayer. You are already blessed with the power to assert your own perceptions and transform your thoughts and desires into reality. By using prayer daily, you will unlock that natural potential that God placed inside of you. Prayer starts by creating a cycle of continuous prayers. You must believe and repeat these declarations and prayers each day. If the thoughts and ideas that we affirm are not true in reality, a dynamic tension is created between your perceived reality and your psyche. This presence of dynamic tension causes imbalance between your psyche and perceived reality. Your consciousness will work to get back in tune with the God's vision of the universe to resolve the tension. There are two simple ways to ease this tension. You must work with God's creation in order to make your declarations become true, or you must stop the prayer. As you choose to continue praying, your mind and body will seek to balance this inequality with the universe by transforming your environment to match your declarations of truth. Sooner than later, you will find yourself taking positive and decisive action that you never imagined possible as your perceptions naturally align with your true reality. If you want to see positive change now, you'll find the quickest path to fulfillment with prayer through God's love. There is no time to spend on loss, negativity, and defeat when you can be achieving tangible, historically proven results with minimum time and effort invested. There is no limit to changes that God can make in your life through the power of creating truth with prayer... Read This Book To Change Your Life Today! Also available in Audiobook & Ebook Format

Book excerpt: Jesus speaking to Peter, James and John on the mount Gethsemane that "could ye not watch with me for one hour?" (Matthew 26:40). It was a difficult season for them, the master is about to be arrested and killed like a common criminal, they were meant to be praying but they were sleeping and Jesus said, Can't you watch with me for one hour? I take one hour to be the least average praying time for every believer who desire to walk with God. Unfortunately, most believers still find it very difficult to watch daily for one hour. Prayer has become a burden for many while many are ignorant of how to still go about it completely. I have tried as much as possible to explain the subject matter with simple words so that all may understand.This is my little contribution to the body of Christ on the subject of prayer and it is my desire that the prayer life of my readers will be energized after reading this book.
