KEY PRINCIPLE OF PRAYER #5: PRAY WITH YOUR SPOUSE!


If you trust and believe, you can pray and expect that He will make your marriage a Godly one! Surely, that is God’s will for your marriage that it prosper and grow in Him. Richard Burr, in his book, “Developing Your Secret Closet of Prayer”, makes this compelling statement: “In my many years of ministry…I have never heard of a marriage that ended in divorce if the husband and wife prayed together regularly."


Many years ago, I attended a seminar where an event occurred that made a quite a vivid impression on me. At one point, the leader asked married women to comment on what they thought about their husbands praying with them. The raw emotion that came from these women was truly illuminating and startling – I never expected to see such a reaction, I can assure you. It taught me a lesson I will never forget!


Recently, I heard in a radio interview from a ministry leader who works with married couples. I wish I could remember who it was so I could give proper credit. He noted that in his seminars and ministry, sadly only about 5% of the couples he ministers to pray together.

WALK APPLIED COVER.JPG

The time for a truly unique and different rock solid biblical approach is certainly here. The new and exciting approach of “The Walk Applied” brings to the Christian mileau a perspective that is rarely addressed: What does it mean to be a “Spiritual Being” operating in the Natural? What does it mean for me to be a “new creation in Christ”? What’s my real identity as a Christian? How does this “Jesus thing” operate from the “top down.” What’s this “sonship” thing all about? What does it mean to be adopted? What does it mean to be a citizen of the Kingdom? Without a solid understanding of how the Kingdom WORKS, how can we ever truly understand how to approach Jesus in the way that the Father intended? Christians are tired of “Church as usual”! Indeed, there is a growing chorus of voices (especially among the young) “there’s gotta to be a better way!” The sensible and different voice of “the Walk Applied” has been written to describe that better way. An excellent choice for Group Study or Sunday School
