Move Heaven and Earth with Your Prayers! If God is all-powerful, why does He need us to pray? If we pray and nothing happens, does this mean that God isn't listening? Many people feel their prayers don't count, but Dutch Sheets, senior pastor at Springs Harvest Fellowship in Colorado Springs, CO, will show you just how vital your prayers are.
Sheets explains the nuts and bolts of prayer with wisdom, gentleness and humor. Gospel Light hopes that his biblical insight and depth of revelation will inspire you and give you the courage to pray for the "impossible" and help you find the persistence to see your prayers to completion.
Discover your role as a prayer warrior-it can mean the difference between heave and hell for you and someone you know!
Praise for Dutch Sheets:
"Intercessory Prayer is illuminating and motivating. Dutch Sheets sheds fascinating light on this sometimes mysterious subject. Readers will want to pray more, and they will see more results." -Bill Bright, Founder and President, Campus Crusade for Christ International.
"My heart flooded with excitement as I read Intercessory Prayer. What a blessing it is to have this instructive, God-inspired manual revealing the ways God works through His people. The Body of Christ will be richer in knowledge and depth of intercession, equipped to hit the bull's-eye." -Bobbye Byerly, U.S. National President, Aglow International.

Foreword by C. Peter Wagner
1. The Question Is...
The right answer begins with the right question.
2. The Necessity of Prayer
God chose, from the time of the Creation, to work on the earth through humans,
not independently from them.
3. Re-Presenting Jesus
Intercession can be summarized as mediating, going between, pleading for
another, representing one party to another.
4. Meetings: The Good, the Bad,
and the Ugly
Intercessors meet with God; they also meet the powers of darkness.
5. Cheek to Cheek
He put His tear-stained cheek next to ours and "bore" our
punishment for sin.
6. No Trespassing
"No dumping allowed, Satan. Trespassers will be violated."
7. Butterflies, Mice, Elephants and
Bull's-Eyes
The Holy Spirit empowers the Butterfly Anointing so we don't confuse the
mice with the elephant.
8. Supernatural Childbirth
There is a prayer that births, bringing forth spiritual sons and daughters.
9. Pro Wrestlers
Step into the ring and face the powers of darkness.
10. Most High Man
The sin of pride, passed on from Lucifer to humans in the Garden, is what
Satan uses to blind humanity.
11. The Lightning of God
We let the "Son" shine forth through us, directing His light to
desired situations, allowing it to "strike the mark."
12. The Substance of Prayer
You must release the power of God inside of you on a consistent basis.
13. Actions That Speak and Words That Perform
Our words or actions impact the heavenly realm, which then impacts the
natural realm.
14. The Watchman Anointing
To the degree we are ignorant of our adversary, he will gain on us, prey on
us and defraud us of what is ours.
