Prayer and Intercession (BC-113)

About this course

Begin an amazing journey in prayer. Learn how to pray. How to engage in different kinds of prayer. Your prayer life will never be the same.

Prayer is communion with God – You talking to God, expressing your heart to God and God revealing His heart to you. A lot happens through this communion. When you spend time with God, a divine exchange takes place. God draws near to you as you draw near to Him. He imparts Himself to you. Prayer is joining hands with God. It is partnering with God to see His will executed on earth. Prayer is a ministry, a humble service you render for others as you pray for them and go to God on their behalf. Prayer is warfare. Prayer is militant action in the spiritual realm. We enforce Christ’s victory over satan in life situations. Prayer is powerful because God hears and responds to prayer. Jesus never experienced failure in prayer. He has invited us to pray in His name, stand in His place and pray as He would. Every child of God can learn how to have a fruitful and powerful life of prayer. This course will help you in your journey of prayer.
