My husband and I have purchased these prayer books, and decided to pray for each other for 40 days intentionally. After we ordered them, I thought I would see if anyone else would like to join us in prayer for their spouse. I was so excited when several people signed up on facebook to purposefully pray for their spouse for 40 days.
Tomorrow is day one of the challenge, and I spent some time today reading the introduction and becoming familiar with the books. I am very excited about the topics and concept of the books. I have to admit, I love praying, especially praying the Word of God. I think there is great power when we pray scripture, because Scripture is alive and active. I noticed that the books were very simple and easy to use, and that was one reason I chose them. I like that it leaves room for me to focus on my prayer to my Creator and Redeemer on behalf of my spouse and marriage.
I will admit as I have read the introduction and skimmed through the book I don’t always agree with the authors interpretation and understanding of certain Scriptures and concepts of God. But, I would like to ask that those who are doing this prayer challenge with us, will put those theological differences aside, and rather focus on the task at hand. The goal in this 40 days is not to analyze the content of the books, but rather to use the books as a guide to go to our Father in prayer with scripture to pray for our spouse and marriage.
So, I hope that if you are joining us in this time of prayer it will be a blessing.
We are Bible believing, scripture only people. We love to learn about the Hebrew roots of our faith. We believe it is important to not add or subtract from the Divine Word of God. The compiled scriptures that agree with one another and have no contradiction is the 66 books of what is commonly referred to as the Christian Bible, or the Holy Bible.
These writings were originally written by men inspired by God. They were written in the language of the writers and readers of the original documents. Many of the original documents have been lost, but God’s Word is eternal and remains. Therefore, it is important to us to study, learn, and consider the culture, history, and language of the original writers of the scriptures.
In our studies we have learned that the true name of God is Yehovah, and His son, our Messiah, is named Yeshua. Therefore, as you read our posts we will use the Hebrew names of God and our Messiah.
