Endorsements
How to Pray is a wonderful, timely, and necessary work that each be-
liever needs to read and apply.While it teaches the “how to,” this book
also inspires us “to,” which is perhaps equally important if not more so.
Themotivatingimpactandenergizingexaminationof powerful,prevailing
prayer will help every reader go after the heart of God—and watch what
God will do in response to effective heartfelt intercession.
~ PastorTommy Barnett

Introduction
There has never been a greater time in history—from the time when
God said, “Let there be light,”until now—for the necessity of the people
of God to learn how to pray, and to pray.The cry of the Spirit coming
from theThrone Room of God is a divine, universal call to prayer.
Although we are witnessing the greatest prayer movement in Church
history with millions of Christians being mobilized to pray, never before
has there been a greater need for Christians to know how to pray with
power, to pray prayers that are beyond ordinary prayer, and that are di-
vinely energized and charged by the Holy Spirit.
Iamconvincedthatthenormalprayersof Christiansareinsufficient
to provide this world with the spiritual breakthroughs that we must have
now. Something supernatural must occur and begin to take place in our
praying that will literally demolish satan’s strongholds over the nations.
Ordinary prayer will not do it! Before the last remaining strongholds of
satan are torn down, there must be a supernatural manifestation of
God’s Spirit within the Body of Christ moving us to a higher dimension
of prayer.
