Praying God's Word

Praying God's Word by Beth Moore. This is a must have. Order it today. Give it as birthday gifts. Put it in every bathroom. It's a must read. As we seek to develop the mind of Christ, this book is a helpful tool in demonstrating HOW to pray scripture. Be prepared: This will rock your world!


Here is an excerpt from her book:

In reference to 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 Beth says that how we learn to "take captive every thought" is "we make our thoughts obedient to Christ every time we choose to to think Christ's thoughts about any situation or stronghold instead of Satan's or our own.What are Christ's thoughts? The Word of God revealed to us. I finally learned that the way we make our exalted, overpowering thoughts bow down in obedience to Jesus Christ is to choose to think His thoughts about the matter rather than my own or those influenced by the enemy. In this book I am sharing with you exactly how I began to think God's thoughts over controlling strongholds in my life....In praying scripture I not only find myself in intimate communication with God, but my mind is being retrained or renewed (Romans 12:20) to think His thoughts about my situation rather than my own. Ultimately, He resumes His proper place in my thoughts and life as huge & indomitable, and my obstacles shrink."
-Praying God's Word (pg. 7-8)
"Father, I desire to become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then I will no longer be an infant, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here & there by every wind of teaching. Instead, please teach me to speak truth in love, growing up in Him who is the head, Christ."
(Ephesians 4:13-15)
Lord I once lived in darkness but now you have called me into the light & into relationship with You. "Help me to live now as a child of light for the fruit of living in the light consists of goodness, righteousness & truth. Help me to seek You and find out what pleases You." (Ephesians 5:8-10)
"Father, please never allow me to be one who is always learning but never able to acknowledge the truth. (2 Tim. 3:7) Your word says that she who trusts in herself is a fool, but she who walks in wisdom is kept safe (Prov. 28:26). Lord I have come to realize that I cannot trust in myself. My safety is in learning to trust in You. Please help me!"
