Spiritual Travail


Book Description

What is spiritual travail? And is it necessary for the believers to enter into it? The Lord Jesus travailed for the souls of men and it took Him to the cross. He is even now travailing as High Priest for the house of God to be built. He travails for His people to know Christ in an intimate relationship. He travails for His children to grow up into sonship. The travail of Jesus meant agony, suffering, the giving up of His life. He humbled Himself and became obedient to the cross. In the same way His followers are called to travail for His full purpose to be fulfilled, His kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in heaven. This means burden, agonizing, suffering, and brokenness over His will and purpose. This is spiritual travail. If there is a willingness to give up one's life for God to have full control, the Holy Spirit will do the rest of the work in the vessel to prepare it to carry His burden and travail for it. This is the highest ministry one can have in the kingdom.




The Intercessory Life


Book Description

Maxie Dunnam's six-week study challenges us to get beyond the cozy comforts of a devotional life and break into ways of living prayer that open new horizons of possibility. The Intercessory Life: A Missional Model for Discipleship is the pattern for our interior growth in prayer as well as the outward expression of a missional Christ-life in the world. The Intercessory Life is about discipleship. To be sure, intercession is prayer, but prayer is only one expression of intercession, though much more. Intercession is the pattern for discipleship. Yes, right now. In your world. In your church. In your home. In a prison. In a school. On the bus. In the office. On the street. This book teaches practical ways to bring the world into the prayer closet and to unleash the power or prayer in our everyday world. Through his patented way of teaching the Bible, Dunnam inspires faith with personal experience and contemporary witness, providing inspiring and challenging models of persons living an intercessory life who are standing in the gap and taking light into dark places. God can do a lot through those willing to take risks on the journey of faith. Maxie Dunnam gives us bold guidance in what may be his best work yet.
