| | Desperate Prayer by Leonard Ravenhill
Topic: Travail
Scripture(s): 1 Samuel 1 | | Description: Leonard Ravenhill draws from Hannah's travail how intercession is likened to spiritual "pregnancy" and birth. As travail precedes the birth of a child, so birth pangs of desperate prayer precede revival. Ravenhill masterfully draws upon the heroic exploits of prayer warriors Rees Howell, John Hyde, Praying Payson, E. M. Bounds, David Brainerd, A. W. Tozer, Murray M'Cheyne and Duncan Campbell. "An intercessor," says Ravenhill, "is one who himself will take the load." Will you?

Excellent Teaching on Prayer

For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him. Hannah prayed for a son and God gave her a prophet! I read Rees Howells: Intercessor when I worked at a youth camp in Texas and it totally gave me a new humility and outlook on prayer. Amazing book!

Warning: conviction zone ahead

This is a rich exhortation of the possibilities in God in anguished prayer. It is not one for the surface Christian interested in temporal self-centered blessings. Ravenhill referred to what he deemed on the best books in this generation by Norman Grubb called "Rees Howell: Intercessor". I found a website with one chapter of that book at this URL: http://www.theliberatingsecret.com/Biography/howells.htm. This is a great sermon that is biblical based and filled with examples of real people who prayed in the Spirit and saw God exalted mightily among men.

All about prayer

"God keeps a book of your prayers". This was good, I was reading and typing as I listened to it, but from what I got outta it was like are we willing to pray an unselfish/fleshy prayer? And instead pray something on behalf of someone else, crying out to them. He refered to John Wesley's prayer life. 10 hours a day at times.
