Moving Mountains: Praying with Passion, Confidence, and Authority
Ebook
Overview
Experience the power of prayer in a whole new way as you learn to pray with confidence and assurance.
Join New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge as he offers you a step-by-step guide to effective Christian prayer.
Everyone has a reason to pray. We long to see God come through for us and those we love. But sometimes he doesn’t, and where does that leave us? Are we doing something wrong? Does he not hear? How come some people’s prayers seem more effective than others? We ask these questions, and then we lose heart and give up on prayer—the very weapon God has given us to not lose heart.
In Moving Mountains, John Eldredge helps you navigate these difficult questions and offers a hopeful approach to prayer that is effective, relational, and rarely experienced by most Christians. When you discover that prayer is not just asking God to do something—prayer is a partnership with God—new possibilities open before you. We are God’s sons and daughters, given the authority of Jesus Christ; we have a greater role in prayer than we ever thought. You will discover how to experience the power of daily prayer and learn the major types of prayers, including:
- Intervention
- Consecration
- Warfare
- Healing
In a world filled with danger, adventure, and wonder, we have at our disposal prayers that can transform the events and issues that matter most to us and to God. You personally have a role to play with God in bringing about that change through prayer. It may sound too good to be true, but this is your invitation to engage in the kind of prayers that can move God’s heart as well as the mountains before you.
Top Highlights
“It reminds me of Augustine’s line, ‘Without God, we cannot, and without us, he will not.’” (source)
“As C. S. Lewis said, ‘He seems to do nothing of Himself which He can possibly delegate to His creatures. He commands us to do slowly and blunderingly what He could do perfectly and in the twinkling of an eye. Creation seems to be delegation through and through.’3 The delegation not only of major tasks but also of the authority to get them done.” (source)
“The inner healing that occurs is more beautiful than anything in nature that has taken your breath away. For the heart and soul of a human being is worth far more than all the beautiful places in the world.” (source)
“Look, let’s go ahead and name the elephant in the room—some prayers work, and some prayers don’t. Why does that surprise and irritate us?” (source)
“The invasion of the kingdom of God is something that is still unfolding, right now, today” (source)
