Extreme Prayer: The Impossible Prayers God Promises to Answer
What do you do when your whole spiritual life falls apart? It is in these heart-hungry moments—when we feel overwhelmed or alone, struggle with unanswered prayers, aren’t sure what to do, or are crying out for God’s help—that we are surprisingly poised to pray the most effective kinds of prayers possible. Extreme Prayer taps into that longing for connection with God when we need it most by teaching us to pray the kinds of prayers Jesus promised to answer with unlimited power. It’s not about how to pray more . . . it’s about praying differently, and intentionally tapping into all of Jesus’s open-ended promises in a way that achieves maximum Kingdom impact. In Extreme Prayer, Greg Pruett searches the Scriptures to discover the kinds of prayers that God has promised to answer, challenging you to access their power and see His immeasurable glory unleashed in your prayer life.
Top Highlights
“It means presenting requests that resonate with Jesus’ character, praying ‘for his name’s sake’ prayers that advance his plans for the earth —in other words, proclaiming Kingdom of God–oriented prayers.” (source)
“If you have faith in Jesus, start doing what he has been doing. Begin by asking him for marching orders every morning. Look around and ask yourself, What would Jesus do in my community and workplace? What did Jesus command me to do in this world? What opportunities do I see before me that only fear prevents me from taking? What would I do if I only had faith and no fear?” (source)
“Only the Word of God and the souls of people last forever, so those are the two most precious things on the planet. Pray that God would use your life to connect the Word of God to the souls of people. That’s what praying in Jesus’ name means.” (source)
“This is the core truth about extreme prayer: praying for the mission of God brings power beyond measure.” (source)
“In fact, all good prayer begins from a position of weakness —not a lofty idea of our own spirituality” (source)
