How Prayer Works
How Prayer Works is ultimately a mystery – yet God invites us to participate in this practice! Typically, God works in identifiable patterns. This podcast seeks to identify those patterns and answer in part the question: “How Does Prayer Work” There are many implications of these patterns for the proclamation of the gospel, the birth and strengthening of the church, and the transformation of civil society. Join Dan and his guests as we explore together the treasures of the kingdom revealed through prayer.
How Prayer Works
Wrestling with God
One of the most unusual descriptions in the Bible is when Jacob ‘wrestles’ with God. As we grow in our understanding with prayer, wrestling with God becomes not only a metaphor but a reality as we can battle ourselves, dark spiritual forces, and tenaciously learn to pray with persistence - to see God’s kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven or to say ‘your grace is sufficient for me’.
