In Luke 11:1, the disciples asked Jesus, "e;Teach us to pray!"e; Most of us want to know more about how prayer works. While we are used to offering up prayers, we wonder if we are praying in the most effective way or if we are approaching the throne of God in the "e;right"e; way. We ask ourselves:How do I listen for God?How do I pray for healing?How do I pray when I am under spiritual attack?How do I pray to break through strongholds of habitual sin?How do I pray for protection?How do I pray for my lost friends and family?In this eight-session video Bible study (DVD/digital video sold separately), bestselling author John Eldredge shows how we labor under the misconception that prayer is asking God to intervene instead of partnering with him to get things done. This faulty assumption leads to untold confusion and grief when we ask of God but can't sense He hears usor even cares. Rather, Jesus says, "e;I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven"e; (Matthew 16:19). When we operate from this position, we approach prayer with far greater confidence. We understand we have a role in making change happen and are not victims of circumstancethat we are sons and daughters of God bestowed with tremendous authority.Sessions include:There Is a Way Things WorkThe Cry of the HeartThe Prayer of InterventionThe Prayer of ConsecrationListening PrayerWarfare PrayerHealing PrayerHolding the Heart in Unanswered PrayerDesigned for use with the Moving Mountains Video Study (sold separately).
