Recommended Read - Power Through Prayer - E.M. Bounds

I've been taking the time in my walk with God to learn more in experience with Him, not just about Him. My focus has turned to living in the power of the Holy Spirit and praying more to God. I think I'm heading in the right direction! God has been so good, even when I fail at times to give Him my first fruits of the day.

For any Christian that wants to learn more about the importance of prayer and how effective prayer is then this book is for you. It seemed to me at times that this read was more for the pastor how preaches behind the pulpit. I wanted to share a clip from the book below. Keep pressing, Keep praying, Keep seeking His face!

Pg.13
The pulpit of this day is weak in praying. The pride of learning is in opposition to the dependent humility of prayer. In the pulpit, prayer is all too often only official - a performance for the routine of service. In the modern pulpit, prayer is no the mighty force it was in Paul's life or ministry. Every preacher who does not make prayer a mighty factor in his own life and ministry is weak as a factor in God's work, and is powerless to advance God's cause in this world.
