Learning to Importune in Prayer
The Holy art of importunate praying and intercession. The message in this book, Learning to Importune in Prayer was delivered to the saints by Dr. Z.T Fomum. We present it here entirely, with very little editing. It is an expression of the deep desire in the author’s heart to have spiritual leaders who know the Holy art of importunate praying and intercession. Importunity, says Prof. Fomum, is the cry of a man in extreme danger. It is madly asking God to open a door through the wall of a situation—until the door is opened. Importunity has God’s interest in view; it is taking no rest until God is moved to do that which He alone must do. He affirms that when God gives you a number of problems to which man has no answers, then He has promoted you—He has given you materials for importunity praying. God’s purposes in the New Covenant are tied to the Spirit-filled life. Christian service also starts with this quality of life. He reiterates his heart’s cry to see the leader strive to be Spirit-filled and press on to attain to the fullness of the Holy Spirit. We send out this book with prayer that the Lord would use it to produce men and women of importunate praying—watchmen at the gates of Jerusalem.
Lectio Divina the Sacred Art
Nurture your inner monk and surrender to the natural grace and rhythm of your heart's deepest longings. "The whole world is, in fact, a text of sacred revelation. All experience has the potential to be revelatory, and God is singing one unending song seducing each of our hearts. So the call is to listen, to attune to the words God utters in the world." ―from the Afterword Break open this ancient contemplative practice of listening deeply for God's voice in sacred texts. Drawing on her own experience as a monk in the world, Christine Valters Paintner introduces the foundations for a practice of lectio divina . She closely examines each of the four movements of lectio divina as well as the rhythm they create when practiced as a process. She then invites you to expand your practice beyond traditional sacred texts to a sacred reading of the world through image, sound, nature and life experience. Whether you want to start a contemplative prayer practice or deepen your experience of lectio divina in new ways, you are invited to savor the gifts lectio divina has to offer your heart and spirit.

Life-changing Thoughts On Prayer volume I
Prayer is central to any work and to any move of God. We have been burdened for very many years now about praying, and are labouring to pray ever increasingly. We have been burdened about the centrality of prayer and have laboured to lead individuals into seeing the necessity of prayer, and to actually pray. We have been burdened to lead churches into seeing the necessity of prayer and into praying. As I prayed alone, and as we travelled and taught about prayer, I took down key thoughts for myself that came through as I prayed alone, as I led others in prayer and as we taught on prayer. In this book we share with you some of the thoughts that have come to us as we taught and as we prayed. Our prayer is that by God’s grace you will find in this book some thoughts that will revolutionise and stir your heart to pray and pray and pray. May our God bless you exceedingly.
Love Affair
"My Love," asks Andrew Greeley, "how often in the course of a day am I indifferent to your love? How often do I even remember my human loves as I rush through life? I'm so busy that love seeps out of my life like blood escaping a wound. I'm going to try as best I can to begin my day and end it on my knees - and to remember You in my comings and goings. If I can do these things, they will make me a better person - and a better love. Please help me." Andrew Greeley's "Love" in this intimate diary is, of course, God. Love Affair is not a book about prayer or even so much a book of prayer; it is rather an experience of praying - confused, elated, grateful - often stumbling but always sincere endeavors by a human being to dialogue with the Beloved Other. It is prayer as it happens. And it reveals as much about the "beloved" as it does about the "Lover" on the other side of the dialogue. We see "the pray-er" Andrew Greeley depressed, struggling with pneumonia, worried to death about dying when his doctor discovers a spot on his lung, concerned about the illnesses of his friends, enthused about his work, weary from too many obligations, and always trying - trying to be a good and faithful "lover" to the "Lover" who loves with no expectation of return. In this sense, we can also see ourselves, and find inspiration and confidence to pray in our own voices too. This kind of Love Affair is everyone's affair.
Moving God Through Prayer
The Dynamics of «Thy Will be Done» If you have progressed in the “school of calloused knees” from preoccupation in prayer for personal needs to interceding for the needs of others, you are ready to graduate into the mature believer’s prayer priority – that God’s needs be met. Yes, “God’s need” or concerns. Dr. Fomum devotes this volume to enlarging and deepening (or is it heightening?) the prayer warrior’s target. “Every true prayer ought to begin in the heart of God” , writes the author. This volume in the Prayer Power Series seeks to advance the intercessor closer to the springs of true prayer: seeking to know God’s will and then interceding for it to be done for His name and His kingdom’s sake. In his usual systematic style, drawing on the scriptures and lessons learned from practice, Professor Fomum explores the dynamics of the priorities set out in the Lord’s prayer: God’s name, God’s kingdom, God’s will . Are you ready to move on and up in your prayer and intercessory ministry? Are you equipped to lead your prayer group to greater heights? This book will meet your needs and help you help God meet His.
Practical Spiritual Warfare Through Prayer
In this handbook, Professor Fomum demonstrates, in very powerful terms, the determinant role of prayer in spiritual warfare. The burden he is labouring to discharge is to bring every believer to develop an ever-increasing life of prayer , with the aim of destroying the devil’s plans and purposes. Throughout his message, it emerges that to wage spiritual warfare, you must: Identify your enemy; Build a hedge of protection around you and around everything that belongs to you. That should be in addition to the hedge already built by God. For more range in combat, you've got to draft in a great number of people of quality; You and them have got to be united for the same purpose; Do not omit the role of angels in combat . Finally, know that whoever engages in combat must persevere until the end. Don't ever give up till victory. This book is a very practical and precious work meant to lead you to realise, as a believer, that you must pray or perish. Read it now and act!
Prayer And a Walk With God
As an apostle of prayer, Professor Fomum traveled widely among the nations teaching the church on prayer. This book is a compilation of the teachings he gave in India in 1999. It was born from a burden arising because of the lack of prayer among many leaders and believers. It was also orchestrated by the ignorance and helplessness of the Church in India as to the all-important issue of prayer. The church has the kind of leaders that its prayers have produced. When there's no abundant and abounding prayer, the church has leaders who love sin. It is therefore urgent that the church in the world and in the nations should act together with God through prayer. This book is a true heart cry to awaken and move men: believers, leaders, and churches to pray abundantly and intensively. Read it and surrender yourself to be moved to meet this need of God.
