In History Makers, Dutch Sheets and William Ford III reveal how God
wants us to connect with the powerful and timeless things He has
done in the past so that we can become empowered for the future. We
must look to our Christian forefathers and pray for the renewal of
the covenants God made with them, building on God's past work to
move closer to His ultimate goals for us as a nation and a planet.
Now is our chance to connect with the past, shaping the outcome of
the future, and turning it back in God's direction!
Prayer is foundational to the Christian life, but many people
donaEURO (TM)t understand it. What is it for? How does it work? Why
do we do it? This short and accessible book explains what prayer
is, why it exists and how it can encourage us in our life of faith.
Written by a pastor with years of teaching and counselling
experience, Why We Pray doesnaEURO (TM)t simply tell readers why
they should pray, but instead focuses on four blessing-filled
reasons that will help us want to pray. Rather than feeling
discouraged and disheartened by our inconsistency in prayer, we
feel reinvigorated to approach God with confidence and joy,
delighted by the privilege of talking directly to our heavenly
Father.
Most evangelical Christians know of Matthew Henry’s Commentary on the Bible, but few are as familiar with his A Method for Prayer, with Scripture Expressions Proper to Be Used under Each Head.
Almost entirely Scripture. This work consists almost entirely of Scripture, arranged under various headings, to help Christians to pray in harmony with the truth of God, revealed in his Word.
Carefully revised and updated. First published three hundred years ago, it has been revised and updated by O. Palmer Robertson to allow the language of prayer to be expressed in today’s idiom.
It is sent out in the confidence that God will continue to honour his own Word, as it is redirected back to him in the form of heartfelt prayer.
Andrew Wommack uncovers the traditions and misconceptions in prayer
that often bring more suffering than good! In finding out how Jesus
taught us to pray, we can bring joy back into our relationship with
God. Many people, who truly love God with all of their heart, find
it difficult to pray as they have been taught. And their
once-vibrant relationship with the Lord had become stifled,
mechanical, and lifeless. What they don't understand is that prayer
is an opportunity to have communion with God-fellowship with the
Father. Of course it includes requests because we need help from
our Father every day, but it also includes a connection and
friendship with God. Readers may find it amazing that God would
talk with them just as a friend, but His greatest desire is for His
children to know Him in much the same, intimate way as He knows
them. After 30 years of ministry, Andrew Wommack has discovered
some important things about prayer including what prayer is and
what it is not. Readers will uncover the traditions and
misconceptions in prayer and discover true and meaningful communion
with God through Jesus' example of prayer. More importantly,
they'll come to know a new, profound joy and fulfillment in their
relationship with God, receiving the answers they need. The subject
of prayer has been touched on many times through classic and
current authors, but Andrew Wommack brings a fresh approach to
prayer by "defuncting" the common traditions that make prayer
laborious and lifeless. In much the same style as Tommy Tenny's The
God Chasers and Jim Cymbala's Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire, readers will
be thrilled to find a God who desires to talk with them anytime,
whenever they are open and willing.Readers will learn to develop
vibrant, open communication with the Father all throughout their
day.
In the 300 years since its initial publication, Li Yu's book has
been widely read in China, where it is recognized as a benchmark of
erotic literature and currently enjoys the distinction of being a
banned-in-Beijing classic.
