"Christ actually meant prayer to be the great power by which His Church should do its work, and that the neglect of prayer is the great reason the Church has not greater power over the masses in Christian and in heathen countries. In the first chapter I have stated how my convictions in regard to this have been strengthened, and what gave occasion to the writing of the book. It is meant to be, on behalf of myself and my brethren in the ministry and all God's people, a confession of shortcoming and of sin, and, at the same time, a call to believe that things can be different, and that Christ waits to fit us by His Spirit to pray as He would have us." When it comes to ministry, are you feeling left out? Too old? Too young? Too inexperienced? Bored? As if you've been passed over? Discover with Andrew Murray that prayer is the most dynamic opportunity available to God's children today. It not only strengthens our own faith and energizes our times with God, but it also enables us to intercede for others with tremendous results. Through intercessory prayer we can help to usher in the anointing, launch revival, and bring God's kingdom into tangible reality. Encounter the high calling and powerful purpose that God has designed for you! Aside from being a rich gold mine of biblical instruction and a series of excellent prayer motivators, this is the only book Murray ever wrote with a built-in thirty-day study course in the practice of intercession. Included in the latter part of this exceptional book is a 31-day course in practical intercession. For each day he gives brief instructions on "what to pray" and "how to pray," some Scripture portions particularly suited to the instructions, and then provides space for writing down special prayer requests.
