Every promise of God or prophecy concerning you must be fought for and vigorously too. Don't be deceived. Being religious with a gentle demeanor would not prevent Satan from going for the kill. You would have to take your stand and command the devil to release your promises. It means that you have to be "tough" to scale through the hurdles Satan has carefully laid on the path to your breakthrough. This is not a book on the general nature of prayer. It's not teaching you how to pray. There are many wonderful books on these topics. You can avail yourself of one. But this is a warfare prayer manual. It walks you through the art of warfare. It arms you with knowledge of were to go into the Word of God to pick the right combination of confessions to disarm the enemy for quicker results. You have to know when and how to do a prayer for thanksgiving, or supplication, or warfare. Some do supplication when they are supposed to do warfare. Some warfare at a wrong hour. In warfare, you step into the realm of the supernatural to wage war against Satan and his agents to release your promises that have been withheld. Waging war means exercising your authority in the name of Jesus. Satan only obeys command, and when issued through the Power in the Name of Jesus, it becomes even more effective. That is why Jesus commanded, "get behind me, Satan." And the Angel of God exclaimed, "The Lord rebukes you, Satan." It takes revelation to know what to do and at what time.

Is your personal prayer life giving you problems? Read this book. It will clear your mind about your need for prayer and strengthen your will to do it. Beyond all that, it will simply flood your soul with goodness and love of God!

When you speak the Word of God out of your mouth, His breath is released into your prayer. It is the same breath that God released in Genesis 1:2-3, which says, "The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, 'Let there be light.'" When your life or the lives of those you pray for is "without form and void," speak the Word in prayer

Those familiar with the music of Dan Schutte are in for a great treat here. As in his music, he deals with themes of longing and desire for God, the hungers of the human heart, unfulfilled human hopes and dreams, and the profound happiness of finding ones home in God. The exercises here are loosely based on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola, and the goal is the same for both: to draw readers into a personal, living, growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

In "Prayers for a Privileged People," this much-published author sculpts as carefully as if with chisel prayers on behalf of those who are people of privilege and entitlement the "haves" at an urgent moment in our society. The privileged face, on the one hand, the seduction of denial or, on the other, the temptation of despair. These prayers of wisdom and prophetic power remind us that when things go wrong, when we are afraid, and when we feel prodded by those who lack voice, there is a conversation we can have a conversation situated amid the promises and commands of God.
From the Circuit Rider review: "This is a beautiful collection of poetic and prophetic prayers, words to be prayed with, mulled over, pondered, savored and challenged by. For in this little text, we glimpse a side of Brueggemann we may not have known through his rich Scripture studies alone. Here, he draws on not only his extensive years of study and teaching of the Psalms and the prophets, but his own faith immersion in the church year and in the liturgies of the church."
