Guaranteed to revolutionize your prayer life!!

This is certainly not your typical book on prayer. It is full of powerful truths that have been hidden from the Body of Christ for centuries. One thing that has held Christians back is the fact that they never really learned how to pray. This book will change your prayer life forever! I recommend it to every believer!

Explains the Bible as our operating manual

I would like to say first of all that there's a widespread tendency in Christian circles to include the words "if it be your will" in every prayer. Well, that does a couple of things here. First, it sort of absolves the pray-ER of the responsibility to search through meditate on the Scriptures to find out God's will for him/herself, and second, it makes any kind of effective faith impossible. When Jesus said "not my will, but Yours be done" - He knew his Father's will, and he proclaimed that it be done. We need to do the same. If I tell my kid "we'll go to the park tomorrow, if it's my will" - he'll ask - "well, what's your will then on this one, Dad?!". See - how can he believe my promise (it can't really be called a promise) if he doesn't know my will?! A good thing about God's will is that it's made clear in the Bible, and He doesn't change his mind. So, find out His will, and ask ("Whatsoever you shall ask [the Father] in my Name" - yes, we are to ask the Father, Jesus is the mediator of our covenant with God (our covenant is with God the Father - Jehovah, just like Abraham's covenant was with Jehovah, except Jehovah wasn't revealed as the Father at Abraham's time). The office of the covenant Mediator is Jesus's divinely appointed office - so if we were to ask Jesus Himself and not direct the prayer to the Father, how can He mediate if we cut out God the Father out of the equation?! So - after we ask, we are to walk by faith, not by sight (believe that you receive it, and you shall have it - i.e., receive it by faith first, before it's manifest). If anyone terms such scriptural approach "name it and claim it" - fine, but that's how it works, just kep in mind that naming has to be done when you know the will of God (at the very least, you need to know that He can't and won't grant answers to prayers that promote sin or use sin as a means to an end (a classic example - if you fell in love with one's wife and want to marry her by breaking her already existing marriage, or if you ask God to help you get into a school after you have knowingly falsified information on your school application that has a direct bearing on the acceptance decision), and that Jesus came to give us life, and give it MORE ABUNDANTLY, and "you don't have because you ask not" - some incorrectly call such asking "twisting God's arm" - please don't be offended, but it's God's intent that we ask before He does anything for us) - and remember, He is a Healer and a Provider (there's some of His will revealed in these names of God). After that, claim it as yours! (ask, and ye shall receive - well, you asked, God's word says that you SHALL receive (not MIGHT receive), so it's as good as done (no word shall return to Me void, but will accomplish the purpose for which it was send). Remember - by the fruit of your lips shall you be satisfied. If something doesn't work right away - search the scriptures, read more literature such as the book under review, talk to the rig

MIDWEST BOOK REVIEW

I love the way the author teaches you about prayer. Why do most of us pray? Because we are in a situation that we can't get out of and we need help. The problem is, we pray and say we believe an answer will come, but we still worry and make negative confessions concerning it. Mr. Capps explains in a simple biblical way how this negates the very prayer we prayed. Interesting!He teaches you the authority you have as a believer, how to train your body to pray andlearning to use your words for good and not for evil.I really liked this book. I felt it was written in a clear concise way, simple to understand and to follow. I believe it would be a plus for any Christian wanting to go higher in their prayer life.

Phenomenal Book!

A must read for today's Christian; who is sold out to Christ! You can't afford not to know how powerful prayer and our words (the releasing of God's ability) really are. They are life or they are death. It is as simple as that. The choice is ours. You will not be disappointed in this small investment; the return will be phenomenal! Stop limiting God and start releasing all that He has for your life!

A new view on Faith and having a positive outlook on life

This lightweight arsenal against negative thinking was given to me by my aunt when my life just was not going in the right direction despite my many prayers. I thought I had faith and I did... I just was not exercising it in the right way. Why ask God for something and then negate your prayers by worrying about it? This book teaches you to pray and then really Let Go and Let God. I found it to be so helpful that I carried it everywhere. As a matter of fact.. when my car was stolen the only thing I missed was not my vital documents... but my heavy duty battle gear against negative thinking. Charles Capp has definitely hit the nail on the head.
