To those who ask me, “What is the most important thing in our faith life?”, I will boldly say that my answer is prayer. Prayer life is crucial and absolute to all Christians. Our Lord said, “You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” (John 14:14) There is no greater blessing than prayer life because God risked His honour in answering our prayers.
Therefore most of all we should start with prayer before whatever we do. We should solve with prayer all the problems like family, job, business matter and health issue. When we experience God who answers our prayer, we will restore our first love and we will become full of joy in salvation. When you pray, you will be able to cast out the devil, Satan, and the evil spirit in the name of Jesus and the healing ministry will accompany your prayer.
When your soul becomes alive again with your prayer, there will be abundant joy in the service and you will serve the church with more thanks and gladness and you will have more passion of evangelism in saving the souls.
A big tree will dry out to death if it is not supplied with constant nutrients from its root. Just as when the tree draws the food from its root, it will produce its leaves and fruits, your success in faith life will be completely dependent on prayer.
The early church made a great revival in church growth with their prayer and so did my church. We should recognize the prayer life as a blessing and our inheritance we already received so that we need to be determined not to fail in it.
Through our prayer life, we should enjoy the answers to our prayers and we should believe that our Lord will do answer prayers.
This book, “Absolute Prayer Life”, was my first book and was published in 1996 and it became the best seller among my fifty books. When I see this book sold fast, I thought that people really desire to pray for a successful life in their faith.
This book was revised for the reader’s convenience in understanding prayer life as well as its design. I urge the readers to feel more necessity in the prayer and to have a successful prayer life through this book.
