Against all odds, 2,000 years ago, 12 men turned the world upside down by dedicating themselves to these two spiritual disciplines: prayer and the ministry of the Word. They did so even though the Roman Empire did everything in its power to stop Christianity from spreading, including feeding Christians to the lions! That same power is available to you through prayer and ministry of the word. This book shows you how to obtain it and use it. Part One walks you through the Lord’s Prayer (so-called), which anyone can recite in less than 30 seconds, but no one can master it—not in a thousand lifetimes. Every word is a seed, and every phrase is full of wisdom, revelation and the power to change your life and the lives of those you love forever! You might also be surprised to learn that Jesus Christ is the Lord’s Prayer personified. Part Two answers the question, “What is the ministry of the Word and how does it work?” You will discover the Word of God is like bread, a sword, light, fire, water, seed, milk, meat, a hammer, a mirror and gold and silver. Each illustration (found in the Bible) helps the reader understand how the Living Word of God changes lives and that His power has never diminished. This book is ideal for sermon preparation, Sunday school lessons, Bible studies, small groups, youth pastors and family devotions. Philip DelRe is Founder and President of Voice in the Wilderness Ministries and Executive Director for the Institute of Christian Apologetics—ministries dedicated to evangelism, equipping the Saints, making disciples, and advancing the kingdom of God!
