Have you ever wanted to pray for your children but been unsure
of what or how to pray? Whether it's for their salvation, for them
to live a godly life and stand firm in what they believe, or for
them to stay pure, what better way to pray than using God's
Word?
All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching,
rebuking, correcting, and training in righteousness, so that the
man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work (2
Timothy 3:16-17 NIV).
You feel as if the world is closing in on you. You have trouble in
your relationships. You have a nagging something in your mind, but
you can't quite name it and it won't go away. You have trouble with
anger. You wonder what your purpose in life is. You have faith and
hope that come from your religious journey, but they seem to be
waning. Some days any or all of these gang up on you. Who can help
you? Where do you turn? Is there someone who can help you to make
sense of it all? These questions and more are the very content of
honest prayer. Your most trusted friend is the one who made you.
Our creator is available to sustain and guide us on the whole
journey of life. In the ups, downs, and in betweens, Spirit is
present to uphold. Prayer is the connection point of our present
circumstance to the One who provides hope and meaning. In Morning
Glory and Evening Grace, the prayers are an expression of daily
life. They come from the heart and soul and are offered to a God
who desires to know and help us. Use them to inspire your own
expression of authentic faith.
This book will offer an account not so much of God's Providence an
sich, but rather of divine providence as experienced by believers
and unbelievers. It will not ask questions about whether and how
God knows the future, or how suffering can be accounted for (as is
the case in the treatments by William Lane Craig, Richard
Swinburne, or J. Sanders), but will focus on prayer and
decision-making as a faithful and/or desperate response to the
perception of God as having some controlling influence. The
following gives an idea of the ground to be covered: The patristic
foundations of the Christian view of Providence; The medieval
synthesis of 'objective' and 'subjective' views; Reformational and
Early Modern: the shift towards piety; Modern Enlightenment:
Providence and Ethics; Barth and the Sceptics; The sense of
Providence in the Modern Novel and World.
Prayer is effective when we observe biblical proceedings and
respect the laws of God; it is warfare against the enemy of our
life and destiny. Curses can be defeated and destroyed when we
submit ourselves to scriptural truth. Seeking solutions to matters
that are curse-oriented demands that one engage the enemy involved
in warfare. Wars cannot be fought to finish instantly without major
preparations, and the enemy cannot be defeated or destroyed without
effective strategies.
For those facing this type of conflict "Strategic Deliverance
Solutions: Discover and Destroy Ancestral Curses" contains the
essentials for a rewarding prayer life. Dr. Pauline Walley-Daniels
informs, trains, and equips God's army before marching us off to
spiritual wars. She writes to the heart of the matter in this
guide, based upon the study of the book of Esther from the Bible.
She explores the meaning and the impact of curses and considers how
to break and uproot curses in the realm of warfare and
confrontation.
"Strategic Deliverance Solutions: Discover and Destroy Ancestral
Curses" explains how to trace the root, and source of affliction.
It also teaches on how to undertake a solution-oriented mission in
order to conquer the problem.
THIS BOOK is based on the dialogue between the Shulamite Maiden
and the Bridegroom in the Song of Solomon and is written as a
devotional book with a verse-by-verse dialogue of the writer's
conversations with God.
The author invites you to peer into her intimate dialogues with
God, and as you do so, you may find yourself opening your heart to
receive what God is saying to you. Then, when you turn the
Scripture into personal prayer, recording in your own journal the
secret longings and prayers of your heart as well as the things
that God says to you, you may find to your amazement that God is
"crazy in love with you" and passionately pursuing you as a lover
of God.
Embracing the love of the Bridegroom for yourself, you discover
the joy of embarking
on your own enjoyable journey to the high places of intimacy
with God, your love relationship with God ignited into passionate
desire for His presence
?Divine Entreaty is a great resource for all who are called upon to
offer prayer for gatherings that include people from diverse
backgrounds. The prayers written by Dr. Menz provide us with
sensitivity training and show that he is both a verbal artist and
philosopher. Suellen Mazurowski, JD; Hilton Head, SC Teach us to
pray? was the elementary request of the first disciples of Jesus.
Yet their desire is a universal one; a spiritual longing at the
heart of persons of all religions and cultures. In this remarkable
little volume Dr. Menz captures both the complexity of cultural
sensitivity and also the commonality of public prayer. This is a
resource for both guiding those who are called upon to articulate a
prayer in our diverse world and encouraging business and civic
leaders who feel the need for the prayers of the people to be
voiced.? ?James Gebhart, PhD, clinical psychologist; Columbus, Ohio
?Bob Menz and I have a friendship that goes back twenty-plus years
revolving around human resource conferences and issues. Bob has
shared prayers with people for decades and I would like to thank
him for giving others a place to begin as we seek communication
with our Creator.?Bill Henry, human resources manager; Ava,
Missouri ?We live and work in a culturally, religiously, and
spiritually diverse world. For those of us who are challenged by
issues of diversity every day, Dr. Menz's volume, Divine Entreaty,
is a welcome resource calling our attention to the necessity of
inclusiveness. Both the famous prayers of the past and those for
public and diverse settings will enlighten your own sense of
oneness with humanity. Carl Kyle, DMin, board-certified chaplain;
Jacksonville, Florida Divine Entreaty offers a collection of
inclusive prayers for leadership in civic, business, education,
politics, ministry, and other disciplines to adopt or modify when
communities seek to clarify their purpose and capture the moment.
In 1988 I wrote a book called "Why Pray?" which went through 6
printings by Creation House and one by the author. That book was
written because I knew I had something to say to the pray-ers of
America. I have, over the past 50 years of ministry, read scores of
books on the subject of prayer. Most of them dealt with some rather
fundamental issues, but none seemed to answer the questions I had
regarding this matter. I wanted to know why God, who has all power,
a plan and a will would need us to pray.
I had read early in my life with God a statement attributed to John
Wesley in which he said, "God does nothing, but in answer to
prayer." He did not explain the statement, but he sure caused me to
think. If God does nothing but in answer to prayer, then prayer
must be one of the most important things a Christian, can do.
I believed the statement, but did not understand it and Wesley did
not explain himself. Later I came to believe the following: God,
who is sovereign, certainly has the power to do anything He wills
to do whether anyone prays of not, however, I can say, from a
careful study of the Word and a thorough examination of life's
experiences; as a rule, God does nothing, but in answer to
prayer.
THE LAW OF PRAYER is a follow-up of 'Why Pray?" I have included in
it some of the same material, with several new chapters, a new
cover, forward and updated illustrations.
David Shibley will write the forward. Other recommendations will
come from Bishop Ken Ulmer of Los Angeles, CA, Pastor Steve Dixon,
Jack Hayford and Mike Bickel.
My Purpose in writing this:
.Is to instruct, encourage and inspire God's children to pray by
convincing them that He will hear their prayer as quickly as He
will hear the prayer of anyone.
.Is to share the truth that God, our Father desires to have a
relationship with each of His children and has made a way for this
to happen. His door is never closed, and all are invited to come in
for a chat.
.Is to communicate, a few more things I have learned, to the
thousands who read "Why Pray?"
.Last but not least. I want to obey my Father.
