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.
