Acts Prayer Marybeth Wuenschel

Prayer is meant to be powerful and effective because God is powerful and effective. James 5:16 says, "The fervent prayer of a righteous person is very powerful." You are the righteous person the Bible is talking about because you are in Christ Jesus. He makes us "righteous" or "right with God. I want to show you how your prayer should be and can be powerful. This prayer book teaches you how to pray effectively anywhere and any time by simply following the ACTS.

ACTS is an acronym for:

A - Adoration
C - Confession
T - Thanksgiving
S - Supplication (Simply Asking)

God wants your prayer time to be extraordinary. When we pray we should have a real encounter with God. A life-changing, mountain-moving, earth-shaking encounter that keeps us engaged and focused. God wants an intimate relationship with you and it begins in prayer. The very first and most important commandment is to love the Lord your God. How can we love the Lord our God with all our heart if we don't spend time with Him? This book shows you the way to get to know and love the Lord by spending good, quality time with Him, and allows Him to minister to you and take you to places in the Spirit realm you have never been before.

It's time for us to grow up in our faith and turn from relying solely on rote prayers. Begin praying from the heart. This takes practice and determination, not because it's hard, but because the devil does not want us to. The Devil tries to keep us from powerful, effective prayers. The ACTS prayer book, helps us grow by providing a tool to teach us how to pray and keep us praying.

Follow the steps outlined in "ACTS." These steps will provide you with enough to get you started, keep you on track, and keep you going. Many prayer groups and churches all over the world have implemented this ACTS prayer. I am not sure how or where it started, but I am glad it did.
