From the book Plug Into the Power of Prayer and Prophetic Intercession we learn that prayer is simply communication with God, which involves both you requesting help from God regarding a particular area of your life or in the life of others. In addition, it also involves you listening to God for instruction. Because prayer is one of the most powerful tools given to the body of Christ that destroys the works of darkness and manifests the Word of God, it is a necessary essential, which aligns us with the perfect will of God.
