Download or read book Focusing on Prayer written by Michael L. Randle and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Believers will not grow apart from the practice of prayer. In spite of our depth of faith or commitment to right living without the discipline of prayer something will be missing in the believer's life if prayer is not a priority. That's the purpose of this guide; to help aide the child of God in being disciplined in prayer and eager to meet the Lord in their prayer closest. Prayer was important to Biblical characters like Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, David and Solomon. They all prayed so that they could be sure that they were in line with the Lord's will for their lives. When in true prayer and meditation we can sense His holy and righteous presence; and, it is there and at that point of connection that we find out just how much we need Him and how important prayer really is. It is nearly impossible to say we are trying to reach our divine destiny without a disciplined prayer life. Those that are committed to a disciplined prayer life will find this workbook simple to follow and helpful. It only requires taking time to sit in a time of devotion and seek the Lord in prayer. By writing our prayers believers will find that being focused in prayer is the first part of making prayer practical.
Download or read book FOCUSED Prayers Devotional written by Leadership Team of FOCUSED Ministries, Inc. and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-01-25 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FOCUSED Prayers Devotional Vol. 1. FOCUSED Ministries, Inc. was birthed during a time of prayer. The name came as a result of two college students praying for direction and asking God how He could use them to change the lives of young people. FOCUSED is an acronym that stands for "Focusing On Christ Until Spiritual Excellence is Demonstrated" based on the Word of God found in Proverbs 4:25-27 and Hebrews 12:1-2. From its launch, Dr. Baker, the members of the executive team, and dedicated prayer partners set aside every Wednesday to pray and fast for FOCUSED Ministries, Inc. As the prayers continued, people were saying how blessed and encouraged they were by the prayers of such a diverse group of Christians whose singleness of mind and heart was to see God's will done in the lives of our youth. Dr. Baker wanted to preserve the weekly prayers as evidence of FOCUSED Ministries' dedication and love for the youth and families they would serve even though they hadn't yet met. FOCUSED Prayer Devotional is a compilation of more than 365 days of prayers on behalf of our youth, families, and the organization as they continue the work to share the love of Jesus Christ. FOCUSED Ministries, Inc. wants you to read and meditate on these prayers and encourage you to develop a relationship with Jesus Christ through your own prayer life. We are commanded to continue in prayer (Col. 4:2), trusting and believing God that what we ask for in faith and according to His will, it shall be done. FOCUSED on Him! God bless you!

Download or read book The Christian s Prayer Book written by David C Jantjies and published by WestBow Press. This book was released on 2019-01-11 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the beginning man had to be in a very distinct relationship with God in order to have passage to his heart. However, this would dramatically change when Jesus came to earth. Early in his ministry, Jesus realized man’s inability to pray. And thus, Jesus taught his followers to pray the Lord’s Prayer as recorded in Matthew 6: 9–13. It is evident that Jesus was teaching his followers that his Father does not expect lengthy supplications. We simply had to enter in prayer giving God glory, soliciting the things we need, begging for forgiveness, petitioning a way around evil, and finally pouring out our adulations on God in all his majesty. David Christian Jantjies, in this epic work, digs a little deeper and uncovers the untapped treasures of the much-neglected individualized focused prayer. The time has now come to approach the throne of God with focused prayers—less detailed, accentuated prayer-worship of the Living God, themed petitions, and crisp thanksgiving for what God has done and is still doing. It further preaches for a more frequent interaction with God. The Christian’s Prayer Book – Focused Prayers 101 is a glorious work. Readers will be able to identify with most of these prayers. The spectrum is wide. The glorification of God is immense. The petitions are daily contentions. The praise-giving to God is huge. Each prayer is supported by potent quotations. However, do not miss the teachings on what prayer is, where to pray, when to pray, and how to pray.
Download or read book Prayer Revolution written by John Smed and published by Moody Publishers. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are you praying constricted prayers or disruptive ones? Most prayers are constricted ones. They’re prayers that only focus on one part of the Lord’s Prayer: “give us our daily bread.” They’re usually focused on self and envision God as a heavenly caretaker. Disruptive prayers, on the other hand, are powerful, uncommon, and deeply biblical. They focus on God rather than self, seek to advance the kingdom, and submit all things to God. They are also prayed with a profound belief that prayer actually accomplishes something. When we pray disruptive prayers, that’s when the revolution begins. This book shows you how to equip leaders, fuel kingdom movements, and do real damage to the powers of darkness in the here and now. But most of all, discover how your own heart will be transformed as you begin to see how much bigger prayer, and God, is than you ever thought possible.
Download or read book Where Prayer Becomes Real written by Kyle Strobel and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2021-03-02 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If we're honest, most of us feel bored, distracted, or discouraged in prayer. We look for resources to give us the "right" words or teach us the "right" technique and are disappointed when they don't seem to help. What we fail to realize is that prayer isn't a place for us to be good or right, and it isn't a place for us to perform or prove our worth. It's a place for us to be honest, present, and known--a place for us to offer ourselves and receive God. Spiritual formation experts Kyle Strobel and John Coe want to show you what you've been missing when it comes to prayer. In this down-to-earth book, they show you how to fearlessly draw near to a holy God, pray without ceasing (and without posturing), and delight in the experience of being fully known and fully loved. Each chapter ends with prayer projects or practices to help you see a difference in your prayer life, starting now.

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.”

Download or read book 21 Days of Focused Prayer written by Dana Olson and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-19 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the color version of "Praying the King's Agenda" a black and white version is also available at a lower rate. Praying the King's Agenda Jesus is the King of kings. He is the Lord of lords. When a king speaks, his subjects listen. When a Lord (Master) sets the agenda, that agenda is followed to a T. The great news for us as Jesus-followers is this: all Jesus reveals about himself and all he commands of us in his word is for our good. We have a kind, caring and benevolent King who wants joy, hope, rest and contentment for us both now and forever. He is not a killjoy. His yoke is easy and his burden is light. He's no slave driver or despot. His commands are not about his ego. He laid down his life for God's people, and he has a plan for our eternal happiness. He is a gracious giver of many gifts. One of these is prayer. Jesus invites us to pray often and makes magnificent promises about prayer. The question is how do we know what to pray for? How do we know when our prayers are healthy, good, Christ-honoring and not self-centered or wrongly motivated? That's why praying the agenda of Jesus Christ himself is a wise and healthy practice. Pray the King's Agenda. That same Jesus who is King of kings has communicated so much to us in his word. He's told us about himself. And he's told us what he commands. When we pray truth about our Savior and pray according to his commands, we must be on the right track. This is praying the King's agenda: Take what Jesus has revealed and pray it back to him. These 21 Days of Focused Prayer won't begin to exhaust all that the Scriptures reveal about Jesus or all that comes from him. But it's a wise start. And it sets a pattern you can continue.
