THIS IS HOW WE PRAY offers a fresh invitation to examine how we
pray. Theology and doctrine can feel overwhelming. And specific
devotional practices can feel too limiting. Instead, this book
offers a unique and needed perspective on prayer, inviting you into
a more intimate friendship with God. Through personal anecdotes,
biblical stories, ancient wisdom, and modern insights from
spiritual writers, philosophers, and even cooking documentaries,
Adam Dressler walks through the realities we face in the midst of
our everyday lives, and then shows how they can direct us towards a
deeper friendship with God through our prayers. God promises to
meet with us. This Is How We Pray points to this timeless truth and
reminds us that we can experience this promise right where we are.
Prayer is not a practice or a ritual. It is a place.
A secret place in the Spirit. A place of divine encounters with our heavenly Father where we express our love for Him and enter the dimensions of His glory and power. Where we welcome His presence, receive His revelation and guidance for our life, and are empowered to serve His purposes on earth while experiencing the outpouring of His grace through miracles, healings, deliverances, and salvations. With a scriptural foundation, the conviction of personal experience, and the evidence of many testimonies, Guillermo Maldonado passionately reveals how to enter this place in the Spirit so we, as the body of Christ, can become “a house of prayer.” Discover the joy of two-way communication with the Father. Learn not only to hear His voice but to listen and act on what He is saying to you. See how to build momentum in your prayer life, creating a spiritual atmosphere in which God moves powerfully on behalf of His people. Discover essential keys for breakthrough--and how to have all your prayers answered according to God's will and Word. There has never been a more vital time to find our place in prayer. We are in a period of increased opposition from the enemy as we draw closer to the day of Christ’s return. This requires us to attain a higher level of spiritual power and authority, which can only come through breakthrough prayer that ushers us into God’s presence. Nothing else will prepare us to meet the challenges that are coming our way. Nothing else will prepare us for the second coming of Christ. Now is the time to be spiritually vigilant! Now is the time to watch and pray!

When it comes to prophecy, the three most common questions among Christians are:
1. Can every believer speak 1. prophetically?
2. If so, how do I start hearing God’s voice?
3. Once I’ve heard a prophetic word, what should I do next?
Jermaine and Rebecca Francis answer the first question with a resounding “yes!” —
every believer can receive and release words from Heaven!
With this in mind, they tackle the other two questions, offering this book as a userfriendly guide to hearing from God and speaking His words.

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.
You are the fountain of life, light, and all grace and truth "Use
this book as a daily guide in your walk with God and it will enrich
you in a multitude of ways." --Michael A G Haykin The hearts of the
first Christians beat with praise for Christ. The strength of their
devotion is remarkable, considering the times of uncertainty and
persecution in which they lived. Despite all of this, the early
church flourished, sustained by the God to whom they prayed.
Christians today have a lot to learn from the devotional life of
the early church. In Fount of Heaven, a collection of carefully
selected prayers from the first six centuries of the church, we can
pray with our spiritual forefathers. Prayers from luminaries such
as Clement of Rome, Irenaeus, and Augustine are arranged by theme
to reveal the right prayer for the moment. The prayers have been
slightly updated to read more easily, but they retain their joy and
mystery. As we turn to the prayers of the first Christians, we can
return to the foundations of our own faith.
How our temperament and personality affect our prayer life
Why do so many struggle to pray? Dr. Pablo Martinez, a medical
doctor and psychotherapist, suggests that our basic personality
type strongly affects both how we pray and what we pray about.
Extroverts may struggle to develop a regular prayer life;
introverts will be more likely to set time apart. Thinking types
find prayer more satisfactory if accompanied by pen and paper;
feeling types may long for intimacy with God; intuitive types tend
to be innovators andvisionaries, and may have a more mystical bent;
sensation types often have a particular capacity for spontaneous
prayer; and so on. The purpose of this book is to help us
understand, and work with, our own spiritual path.

Many of us are aware of our spiritual nature, and we have a real
desire and need to talk to God. Prayer, however, seems a difficult
thing to do. While talking to our friends comes easily, we often
think that talking to God does not. In How to Pray, John Pritchard
takes us on a journey into prayer. He begins by showing us how to
see the divine in everyday life and how to slow down enough to hear
God. He makes a wealth of useful suggestions about: * how to pray *
when to pray * how to pray with the Bible * how to pray with the
imagination * how to pray with others * how to pray when the going
gets tough. Whether you are just starting out in your prayer life
or want to deepen and refresh it, this practical handbook will be a
constant source of ideas and inspiration.
