7The power of prayer has changed the lives of many believers. Whether you pray in a group setting, or individually in your own "prayer closet", the ramifications of your relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ will reap maturing fruit in your progressive walk to glorify God. Our prayer lives must be "without ceasing", so when a crisis occurs that seems to overwhelm us, we will stand firm in the truth of the Word and not be "tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine." The final book in the trilogy of the "Spiritual Awakening Bible Study Series", "Praying from Your Heart: The Fruit to Change Your Life" diverges from the format of the first two books in the series, "The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ: The Godman" and "Equipped for the Spiritual Battle: Put on Your Armor." While they incorporated a more intensive Bible-study structured approach, "Praying from Your Heart: The Fruit to Change Your Life" is a participation-type book to align your heart with God's loving sovereign plan in your life and for those in your precious circle of believers. Beginning with an examination of prayer developed from the Old Testament to the New Testament, progressing through the apostle Paul's depiction of various prayers, and exploring prayer in the church today, you will experience an overall scope of the transformation and renewal of prayer in your own life. To enrich your study of prayer, the appendix contains personal testimonies of several believers whose lives were changed by the power of prayer. The author also incorporated several personal testimonies of answered prayers during her progressive sanctification process, woven into the lessons for elucidation and resonance.
