Will You Become Mighty in Prayer? 309 Will You Join Me in This Prayer? 515 Notes 519 Bibliography 329 Index 333 Foreword IN KEEPING WITH his title Mighty Prevailing Prayer, the author at once bombards you with the strongest and best kind of praying. And he never lets up on it. This is no kindergarten book on prayer but a summons to the battlefield. And you know it! It challenges you to mature and militant praying. You are at once on the high road, not the low. As in the book of Acts, you are immediately taken into the Upper Room where followers of Jesus persist obstinately in prayer and supplication. But isn't this the best way to learn prayer? When I saw Babe Ruth hit home runs, it did something for me right away! It stepped up my hitting and my whole vision of baseball. I said to myself, "Can you hit a ball like that?" When you hit a home run, you touch all the bases. Great praying helps you through all the other forms of praying, and steps it all up! The same thing happens when you see the praying of Jesus. You say to yourself, "Can a person pray like that}" Nor do you have to be old to become strong in prayer. Jesus was young and so were His disciples. In a few short years, His followers became mighty in prayer. How? By seeing and learning the best and greatest at once—through Jesus. It's best to learn from the best—at once! Hitch your wagon to a star! You still have to cover all the ground, but you avoid a lot of unnecessary delay. I learned prayer that way. What got me into it was revival. When I started to read the accounts of great revivals, I said, "I want that . I'm going for it." This book will help everybody—the mature and the immature in prayer. It is loaded with Scripture—almost a 7 MIGHTY PREVAILING PRAYER compendium. It will be a great help to leaders, churches, groups—to anyone. Each chapter is complete in itself, and, taken together, they sparkle like the many facets of a diamond. Along with larger illustrations are a "thousand points of light" that dart along the way. The style is the man—Wesley Duewel. He has his own style. Why not? This book will wake you up for prayer and motivate you to be your best for God. Armin R. Gesswein Founder and Director Revival Prayer Fellowship, Inc. 8 Preface THIS LIFETIME COLLECTION of Dr. Duewel's jewels on prayer is priority reading. It is a superb manual. I see it as a desktop encyclopedia on the awesome subject of Mighty Prevailing Prayer. It should be a lifetime manual for the serious student of the prayer life. Immense profit in spirit will be developed when a family uses it as a daily devotional and practices its exhortations. I was stirred by its truths. Leonard Ravenhill 9 CHAPTER 1 God Has Answers for You ARE YOU LONGING for power in prayer, the ability to get urgent and needed answers? Do you feel deeply tested at times by the unexplained delay in answers to your prayers? Are you longing for the secret to answered prayer? Prevailing prayer is prayer that obtains the answer sought. It overcomes delay, opposition, and unfavorable circumstances. It often involves the Spirit's guidance in how you pray and His deepening of your desire for the answer to prayer. It involves His specially empowering your prayer and strengthening your faith until you receive the answer from God. Do you really know how to prevail in prayer, how to obtain difficult answers that you have long needed or desired? Is your prayer list effective in bringing blessing to others? Are you satisfied with the answers you are receiving? God wants your prayer life to be filled with petitions and intercessions for others and for the advance of His kingdom. He wants answers to such prayer to become your thrilling and frequent experience. One of the great joys of prayer is securing wonderful answers that seem so long delayed and so humanly impossible. 10 GOD HAS ANSWERS FOR YOU God wants answers to your prayers to be frequent and blessed. He wants you to prove repeatedly the mighty power of prayer in your own experience. He wants you to become not only a prayer veteran but also a constant victor in situations where the answers bring great glory to God and great consternation and defeat to Satan. He wants you to experience frequently His prayer-answering power, His intensely personal concern and love for you, and the tremendously varied means available to His wisdom. God is never perplexed or surprised, and never ultimately defeated. He desires you, through prayer, to share in bringing His will to pass on earth. I invite you to join me in seeking God's answers to the tremendous needs you and I face. What are the keys that will unlock heaven's resources and release the prayer-answering power of God? What further steps can you and I take to bring God's sovereign and irresistible power to bear? Let us sit at the feet of God. Let us listen for His word. Let us turn to the lives of some of the heroes of our faith to see how they were able to see God's power released and God's answers made known. Prevailing prayer is at times so simple that even a child can get mighty answers—often in an amazingly short period of time. Even new believers sometimes pray with such faith and so much of the Spirit's help that mature saints of God are amazed and can only praise God for the answers. On the other hand, Jesus Himself indicated that some situations or needs were far more difficult than others (Mark 9:29). There can be many reasons for such cases, as we shall discover in the coming chapters. God does not deliberately hide His deepest truth from you. He does not reserve power in prayer for certain special occasions or prayer victories for some specially chosen favorites of His. Prayer is so vital to all of Christian life and to the advancement of Christ's kingdom that He desires all of us to be mighty in prayer, experienced in getting prayer answers, and undismayed by the most complex or longstanding needs.

    A Moment in M.O.M.’s Kitchen My Favorite Fall Flavors 2009 Author-Mrs. Joseph Wood Dedicated to: My beautiful daughters: Bekah-Lynn, Beth–Joy and Sarah-Grace. Pages may be copied for other members of your household only You are invited to visit our website at: www.amomentwithmom.blogspot.com Clipart is from www.clipart.com used with permission A Note from M.O.M. I find fall such an enjoyable time of year. There are so many memories made in each season of life yet, the memories of fall are what I most often daydream about. I smile as I hear the crackling of leaves under my feet. I remember as a child making homes out of leaves and playing „house‟ with my friends. I stop and take in the lessons learned as I listen to the ‟honking‟ of geese when they fly overhead. I am filled with thanksgiving as I look upon the pantry shelves and behold the colors of summer safely preserved for our ‟tomorrows‟. Perhaps I have learned most through this Season of life than any other. It is a season of transitions, something I have had to learn through the years, will come no matter how much I „wish‟ it away. My heart desire is to be an example to my daughters of how a Handmaiden of the Lord gracefully moves from one Season of life to another. I desire to teach them the importance of creating a home atmosphere that celebrates what is really important; the love of our Savior, family, and friends! Each year we have taken recipes from friends and family who cannot be with us and used them to adorn our table for Thanksgiving Day.

    Author: Carter, Dale; Title: Surf Aces Resurfaced: The Beach Boys and the Greening of the American Counterculture, 1963-1973 Surf Aces Resurfaced: The Beach Boys and the Greening of the American Counterculture, 1963-1973 Dale Carter Aarhus University Abstract The rise of the American counterculture between the early- to mid-1960s and early- to mid-1970s was closely associated with the growth of environmentalism. This article explores how both informed popular music, which during these years became not only a prominent form of entertainment but also a forum for cultural and social criticism. In particular, through contextual and lyrical analyses of recordings by The Beach Boys, the article identifies patterns of change and continuity in the articulation of countercultural, ecological, and related sensibilities. During late 1966 and early 1967, the group’s leader Brian Wilson and lyricist Van Dyke Parks collaborated on a collection of songs embodying such progressive thinking, even though the music of The Beach Boys had previously shown no such ambitions. In the short term, their efforts floundered as the risk- averse logic of the commercial music industry prompted group members to resist perceived threats to their established profile. Yet in the long term (and ironically in the name of commercial survival), The Beach Boys began selectively to adopt innovations they had previously shunned. Shorn of its more controversial associations, what had formerly been considered high risk had by 1970 become good business as once-marginal environmentalism gained broader acceptability: thus did ‘America’s band’ articulate the flowering, greening, and fading of the counterculture. Keywords: popular music, ecology, counterculture, Beach Boys Resumen Vol 4, No 1 El auge de la contracultura americana entre principios y mediados de las décadas de 1960 y 1970 guarda una estrecha relación con la expansión del movimiento ecologista.
