Shaping History Through Prayer And Fasting: by Derek Prince
The Simple yet powerful tools you need to have an impact on the destinies of nations.
This is a great book that I highly recommend reading during the “Canada 911″ fast. In Derek’s book he reminds us that like Abraham who stood in the gap for the city of Sodom – we are called to stand in the gap for our nation. God assured Abraham that ten righteous persons could, by their very presence, preserve a city of a least ten thousand. Derek explains the ratio of one to a thousand – “one” being a person of outstanding righteousness while the remainder of the people fall below God’s standards. Derek explains that if we extend this ratio of ten righteous people praying for a city, they can preserve a community of ten thousand!
This book recounts from his own personal experiences, and how history was shaped through prayer during the Second World War in North Africa, the birth of the State of Israel, the end of the Stalin Era, and the independence of Kenya, East Africa. This book will help you to implement change – in your family, church, community, and country, and the world.
Here’s an excerpt from the forward by Lou Engle of The Call:
“We live in a culture that is so resistant to God and His Spirit that I believe today’s generation needs the weapons of fasting and prayer simply to survive. In Chapter 6, Derek talks about how fasting humbles our soul – the part that demands to have it’s own way – and brings the spirit man strength. I need that! I’ve seen it work in my own life….This is an end-time book. Young people need to understand that fasting is a God-ordained need means of laying hold of the treasures of Heaven. As you read this book, take hold of these truths and put them into practice in your walk with god. And let the accounts of how fasting and prayer have affected the destinies of nations inspire you to do the same.”
Christians can change the course of history and government through prayer & fasting – this book will stir you up and encourage you not to give up!
“Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” Galations 6:9
