faith but transforms our lives. In this powerful and enlightening
book, bestselling author and entrepreneur Patricia King helps
readers grasp the power of inspired and finely tuned prayer. King
explains how to * find specific texts of Scripture for your need *
counter problems with God's Word * speak truth into reality *
understand the difference between confessing the Word, proclaiming
the Word, and decreeing the Word * and more Join countless
believers who love the Word of God and honor its authority through
their prayers. Accept the challenge to pray the words of Scripture
boldly--in God's timing, for his will and purposes.

Pages are turning on God's prophetic calendar, approaching that glorious day when His Son will step once again into the world of time and space. What is the key to this timetable? The answer is Israel. And the controversy over her destiny affects every nation on earth.
In an urgent plea for prophetic watchmen, James W. Goll calls you to join the global prayer movement to remind God of His promises toward His ancient covenant people, according to a targeted biblical plan. He discusses fascinating fulfillments to biblical prophecy, right up to the present day; seven reasons to pray and stand for Israel; and guidelines to praying for all the descendants of Abraham--the offspring of Hagar, Sarah and Keturah--Jew and Arab alike.
Join with watchmen worldwide to remind God of His prophetic calendar, and watch as He fulfills His promises to Israel!
When love is lost within a family, catastrophic consequences
follow. That is not just for the parents, but for the children,
too, and society at large. When the God-given love that Jesus
Christ introduced into the first Christian family was lost, similar
consequences ensued. Loveless men and women not only do damage to
themselves, but to others, too - inside and outside of the Church.
This last spiritual and supreme masterpiece of a great spiritual
master explains and details how the love that was lost can be put
back and flourish where it once flourished before. This book is the
long-awaited watershed that can slake the thirst of the dry weary
land that has been yearning to receive it.

Circle Maker is a must-read for revolutionizing your prayer life.
Get ready to experience new breakthroughs, knowing that bold
prayers honor God and God honors bold prayers. Do you ever sense
that there's far more to prayer than what you're experiencing? Are
you praying over your impossible dreams and greatest fears? Do you
feel like something is holding you back in your prayer life? It's
time you learned from the legend of Honi the Circle Maker. When his
land was drought-stricken in ancient times, Honi ha-M'agel drew a
circle in the sand, stepped inside it, and wouldn't budge until God
answered his petition for rain. Honi's story transformed author
Mark Batterson's own experience with prayer and inspired him to
document his journey to praying more powerful prayers in The Circle
Maker. Sharing inspiring stories from modern-day circle makers as
well as his own experiences, Mark imparts the timeless wisdom and
encouragement you need to: Discern God's will for your life Uncover
your heart's hidden desires Pursue God-sized dreams Connect with
God in fresh ways Deepen your faith and your relationship with
prayer Draw prayer circles around your family, your community, your
challenges, and your dreams This updated and expanded edition of
The Circle Maker also includes new insights about the ways that God
answers prayer along with stories that add convincing proof to the
reality that God is able to do exceedingly far greater than all we
could ask or imagine. Learn for yourself that drawing prayer
circles around our dreams isn't just a way that we accomplish great
things for God--it's a way that God accomplishes great things in
us.
Satan prowls around, ready to pounce on our every weakness, fill us
with fear, and destroy our intimate relationship with Christ. But we
are not defenseless. We have weapons of warfare enabling us to be
spiritually aggressive and face the devil head on. Rather than lose
ground in our faith, we can live armed and dangerous!
In this handbook of militant prayers, evangelist and ex-satanist John
Ramirez helps you prepare for and move into advanced combat. He covers
topics such as
- strengthening your position as a warrior
- opening your spiritual eyes
- releasing the thunder of God against the devil
- loosing God's blessings
- and more!
We have the authority and the mandate to destroy the works of the
devil. Let's do it!
"Blumhardt's conviction that God is present and powerful and able
to still work his will in the world today breathes through every
prayer. These are as striking, moving, and provocative now as they
surely were when Blumhardt prayed them." John E. Phelan, Jr., The
Covenant Companion End each day of the year peacefully by turning
to God with a prayer and a Bible passage. We want to turn to God at
the end of each day, but often don't find the words to express our
deepest feelings and longing. This collection of prayers is one of
the few daily devotionals especially intended for use in the
evening. Blumhardt's words bespeak a certainty in God's nearness.
The peace that flows from them comes from an unshakeable conviction
that God's kingdom is indeed on the way. In stormy and challenging
times like our own, most of us need this reassurance frequently, if
not daily.
