The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord, But the prayer of the upright is His delight. – Proverbs 15:8 Prayer is the key that unlocks all the storehouses of God’s infinite grace and power. All that God is, and all that God has, is at the disposal of prayer; but we must use the key. Prayer can do anything that God can do, and since God can do anything, prayer is omnipotent. No one can stand against the person who knows how to pray, who meets all the conditions of prevailing prayer, and who really prays, and if they are willing to pay the price. The price is prayer, much prayer, much real prayer, prayer in the Holy Spirit.

In my years in the Prayer Ministry, I have come to discover that there are many diverse views of prayer, apprehensions, misunderstanding, misuse of prayer for financial gain through the exploitation of seekers of help. Thus, in many instances, the object of prayer, praying to God, has shifted from God to faith in men who promote prayer through Wealth and Healing Ministries. These men promote prayer, by manipulating their followers' minds, as the only power to gain wealth and healing while acting as their intermediaries between them and God to receive answers to their prayers. Their goal, however, is to make money on the backs of their followers who are manipulated to believe in the so-called miracles they perform for them. The power and true benefits are now shifting to false miracle-working prayers. Of course there is a place fro and power in intercessory prayer, no one should be made to believe that there are some special people who alone who can, and must pray to God to experience his blessing. The single most important requirement of prayer is faith in God. When personal faith in God is absent, prayer dies and the experience of the power and blessings from prayer are lost. Faith, however, may not necessarily translate into victory in every circumstance. what acts of faith do guarantee is that we will please God and eventually be rewarded by him. The purpose of this book, The Prayer of Faith (Praying with Hope), is to help everyone who prays to understand that prayer is first, building a relationship with God, through Jesus and not just to receive or see miracles. It explains that anyone who exercised faith in Jesus can literally move the "mountains" in their lives, if they prayed and prayed the right way. Faith treats things hoped for as a reality, with a conviction that what is being asked for, has a real answer. Faith is, therefore, mandatory for those who approach God. Faith is never easy, it wasn't meant to be so. But the more convinced we are of the reality of an all-good, all-loving, all-powerful God, the more our trust will grow, and the least we will be overwhelmed by doubts and temptations. How strong is your faith? As thou has believed, so be it done unto thee. Discover the secret, the power and joy of praying by faith to move your mountains as you read on.

In our busy, every-day-lives we must change our focus from the worldly mind to the silent contemplation of the spirit, from the many to the One. In prayer we seek to know the reality and presence of God. It is not a cold, calculating process but what the Greek Fathers called theoria a passionate, contemplative insight, involving communion and sharing. Anglicanism in the Jewish tradition describes three levels of existence as one; body, mind and spirit. We must discipline ourselves to assure the transition from the body and mind to the spirit. To help inform our prayers and leave room for personal expression The Anglican Prayer Life emphasizes both the structured prayers in the Book of Common Prayer and personal prayers informed by Scripture. Whether used as a companion in individual prayer, with a prayer partner, anamchara, or in a formal prayer group, this little book will help you enter a relationship with Jesus Christ and provide both solace in your personal needs and the courage to intercede on behalf of others.

Going through Becoming a Prayer-warrior, you will come to understand that whatever things you ask in the Name of Jesus Christ when you pray, believing that you receive them, you will have them. And whoever says to this mountain, "Be removed, and be cast into the sea," and does not doubt, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. The confidence that we have in God is that when we pray according to His Will, He hears us, because we always do those things that please Him.
