Listening Prayer

Shows readers how they can experience a fuller, more meaningful prayer life by learning how to listen to God.

Most Christians have experienced the "laundry list" phase of spiritual life, in which praying means giving God an agenda of needs to handle. But how do you move to having real conversation with God?

Going deeper in these areas will help you to draw closer to God in everything you do. For over three decades LifeGuide Bible Studies have provided solid biblical content and raised thought-provoking questions—making for a one-of-a-kind Bible study experience for individuals and groups.

New York Times bestselling author John Eldredge offers readers a breathtaking look into God’s promise for a new heaven and a new earth. This revolutionary book about our future is based on the simple idea that, according to the Bible, heaven is not our eternal home--the New Earth is. As Jesus says in the gospel of Matthew, the next chapter of our story begins with "the renewal of all things," by which he means the earth we love in all its beauty, our own selves, and the things that make for a rich life: music, art, food, laughter and all that we hold dear. Everything shall be renewed "when the world is made new." More than anything else, how you envision your future shapes your current experience. If you knew that God was going to restore your life and everything you love any day; if you believed a great and glorious goodness was coming to you--not in a vague heaven but right here on this earth--you would have a hope to see you through anything, an anchor for your soul, "an unbreakable spiritual lifeline, reaching past all appearances right to the very presence of God" (Hebrews 6:19). Most Christians (most people for that matter) fail to look forward to their future because their view of heaven is vague, religious, and frankly boring. Hope begins when we understand that for the believer nothing is lost. Heaven is not a life in the clouds; it is not endless harp-strumming or worship-singing. Rather, the life we long for, the paradise Adam and Eve knew, is precisely the life that is coming to us. And that life is coming soon.

When you come to pray, talk less and listen more! Prayer is supposed to be a dialogue, not a monologue! In this latest masterpiece from bestselling author, Daniel Okpara, you'll discover that most of your prayers have been answered. Most times what you need is to listen. That's how to turn your prayer points into visible answers. He says: "My life changed completely when I stopped seeing God as the one responsible for my unanswered prayers. I learned that all my prayers are quickly turned from praying to manifestation when I listen and receive instruction than when I continue to beg and wait." Listening in the place of prayer is the most powerful way to receive answers to your prayers. Fortunately, listening is not rocket science. Everyone can listen when they pray and, in turn, receive the answers to their prayers. In this book, you will learn from true-life stories that this is the greatest mystery of receiving answers not often practised by many of us in prayers. This mystery is responsible for why we spend months and years praying, and it would seem as if God is not answering our prayers. And when you master this mystery and listen more in prayers, you will begin to pray... => Prayers that work, => Prayers that move mountains, => Prayers that heal the sick, => Prayers that rout demons and obtain breakthrough, => Prayers that command financial blessing, => And lots more. Your life will not remain the same again.
