Prayer Ministry of the Church is a collection of five messages on prayer by the great Chinese pastor and teacher, Watchman Nee.

Revival was never meant to come and go, ebb and flow. In fact, it’s not God who taps out of revival; it’s us. Heaven’s desire is a church that’s burning with passion, alive with the Spirit, and flowing with the supernatural. While many are waiting around for a sovereign outpouring of God to come down from Heaven, there is a remnant of believers rising in the Earth who are declaring war on dry places and dead spiritual atmospheres. Many claim to desire revival, but few are willing to keep the door open for the move of God to continue and increase!

Globally recognized best-selling author and senior leader of Bethel Church in Redding, CA, Bill Johnson is a revivalist at heart.

"Our Father, who art in heaven...." The opening words of the Lord's Prayer have become so familiar that we often speak them without a thought, sometimes without any awareness that we are speaking at all. But to the disciples who first heard these words from Jesus, the prayer was a thunderbolt, a radical new way to pray that changed them and the course of history. Far from a safe series of comforting words, the Lord's Prayer makes extraordinary claims, topples every earthly power, and announces God's reign over all things in heaven and on earth.

Throughout history, God has anointed the unqualified, empowered the weak, and chosen the least likely to change the world. The individual's ability is not what makes them powerful; they are empowered by the assignment—the mantle—they receive from Heaven. When these anointed people die, their mantles are left behind, waiting to be taken up by other Christians. Robert Henderson takes you a step further into the Courts of Heaven, revealing how spiritual mantles are reserved for the body of Christ, waiting to be accessed, received, and stewarded for supernatural results.

Today, many Christians desperately cry out to God, pleading for Him to send spiritual awakening. But there is a realm of effective prayer that can tip the heavenly prayer bowls to release the historic revival we all desire. Throughout church history, the great saints and revivalists knew that true revival begins with a groan of awakening from the heart of hungry believers! Corey Russell, best-selling author and key ministry leader at Upper Room Dallas, joins with Billy Humphrey, director of GateCity Church, to offer a timely book on spiritual preparation that releases revival.

Whether in struggle, illness, death, or failure, the presence of pain causes us to question the presence of God. We pray and watch the sky, crossing our spiritual fingers for hardcore proof of God's nearness. And in the silence, we sense something more sinister: perceived abandonment. But what if we could collect evidence that God hasn't left us? What if we could be absolutely certain of God's presence and affection, strengthening our faith against any assault? Woven throughout Scripture sits a single, extraordinary theme: God is with us.
