Getting in God’s Face
Overview
Best-selling author Dutch Sheets has some solid answers for hard questions, such as:
- Is prayer really necessary if God can do what he wants anyway?
- Why does it take God so long to answer my prayers?
- Is there a right time for answers to prayer? Or does the timing depend on me?
- If Satan has already been defeated by Christ’s authority, why do I need to involve myself in spiritual warfare?
- Is everything that happens to me and those I love allowed by God? If so, why pray?

Top Highlights
“A lack of endurance is one of the greatest causes of defeat, especially when it comes to prayer. We don’t wait well.” (Page 10)
“Galatians 6:9: ‘Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we shall reap if we do not grow weary.’” (Page 10)
“God’s holiness, integrity and uncompromising truth prevent Him from simply excusing sin. It must be judged. On the other hand, not only is He holy, but He is also loving, and His love always desires to redeem, restore and show mercy. Scripture tells us that God takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked (see Ezek. 33:11).” (Pages 23–24)
“John Wesley was correct when he said, ‘God does nothing on the earth save in answer to believing prayer,’” (Page 15)
“The ‘effectual fervent prayer’ of the prophet stopped and brought the rain:” (Page 21)
I’m utterly convinced that God is calling this generation to pray like never before. To do that, we are going to need practical resources and the encouragement of people like Dutch Sheets, who’s one of the American godfathers of intercession. I guarantee that this book won’t change the world. But if you buy it, read it, and do what it says, someone like you really could.
—Pete Greig, leader, 24-7 Prayer
Intercession will be the key to release heaven on earth in this generation. But students can’t just hunger for prayer, they need to know how to pray effectively; and this book is the answer—it needs to get into the hands of every student on every campus if we are going to see another youth revival in our nation!
