As a reformed Presbyterian this was a difficult book for me. In some ways I really agreed with the author and it encouraged my prayer life. In other ways I think he bordered on the heretic side. God is "hindered"? He "can't" accomplish things on earth unless we pray? If your friend gets in a car wreck it's because you didn't pray for them? On the other hand, I think that as someone of the Reformed theology, we tend to go the other way towards fatalism. We think that God is in complete control and while we deny that we are robots, we live like we are. Everything is set in stone, God is in control, the saved have been saved from the beginning of time, and anything that happens in your life is God's will, so why pray other than to have a "relationship" with God? I think the truth is somewhere in the middle and is very grey. God is in complete control, but our prayers still have a part in that. So, this book did encourage me to pray persistently for things and to view those prayers as weapons in a real fight against the enemy, but I can't whole-heartedly recommend it to other people because of the things that I view as being anti-Scripture.

I just realized that I finished this book a few months back and never wrote a review for it.

I gave this book 5 stars the first time around and though I would like to drop it a star or two, I won't. Why? Because my first encounter with this book was one of the most influential ones in my life. If I were to make a shortlist of books that made me who I am today, this would easily be in the top five. It was that impactful.

This time around, however... not so much. It is still an excellent book. If you have never read it, I very strongly recommend you do. However, I would now recommend that you treat this book as you would an all you can eat buffet. Take what you need and leave the rest for someone else.

There is plenty of amazing insights to be gleaned here. There are some profound truths I picked up the first time that have been reinforced this time around and will still be shaping my thought decades further down the road. There are also some points where I was like, "That's some pretty weak exegesis" that I did not notice the first time up. There are also some analogies and illustrations that are good for a small point or illustration that Dutch Sheets carries much too far. I believe it was Goethe who said, "Every analogy limps." Well, Sheets has those poor limping analogies trying to run marathons.

In all, I am glad I read this book a second time around more than fifteen years after the first. It is a blessing and encouragement and motivation in my own prayer life. I still think it is the best contemporary book on prayer out there, but that is partly because the others are often so stinking heretical that the bar is set awfully low. Sheets is no Ravenhill or Bounds, but he still leads into a theology and practise of prayer better than anyone else of our generation.

I’m not going to rate this book, because of one main reason.
I didn’t like the book and personally, I didn’t get much out of it, but I know that others will. I didn’t this book with a Bible study, and most of the others enjoyed it and got things out of it, it just didn’t do that with me.
I think there was good information in here, and it covers things I think all believers should know.
Most of the things talked about in this book were things I already knew, and mostly it was just solidifying my beliefs, which is good.
The writing style and some of the ways the author went about talking about some things just rubbed me the wrong way and irked me at times.
So all in all, I would recommend if you are looking to learn more about prayer and maybe go a little deeper, but I personally didn’t enjoy the book.
I don’t know if that made any sense to any of you, but it’s just my thoughts, and personal feelings.

I think, having read the book, I understand better why we must pray--God needs us to. The author quotes Ezek 22: 30 & 31 and then comments: "The passage is clearly saying, 'While My justice demanded judgement, My love wanted forgiveness. Had I been able to find a human to ask Me to spare this people, I could have. It would have allowed Me to show mercy. Because I found no one, however, I had to destroy them.'" In a real way God is giving us the terrible responsibilty to take part in bringing His love to the world. We can wish He had chosen a different path, but we must accept that He knows best. I never really felt this before reading this book.

One of the healthiest things for my learning has been reading wise authors outside of my natural theological circle. While I’ve had a fair amount of engagement in charismatic circles and am open to the charismatic gifts, charismatic theology isn’t at the core of my theological convictions. Dutch Sheets is one of the strongest voices in the charismatic world and Intercessory Prayer has sold well over half a million copies. This was my first time reading Sheets and I certainly can see why his book has been so widely read. Sheets is a good writer has an engaging style of mining the Scripture, and he tells a number of incredible personal stories of God’s power through prayer.

There is a lot of ground I hold in common with Sheets. The basis of our authority is the completed work of Christ. Sheets says, “We don’t deliver anyone, we don’t reconcile anyone to God, we don’t defeat the enemy. The work is already done. Reconciliation is complete. Deliverance and victory are complete. Salvation is complete. Intercession is complete! Finished! Done! WOW!” Amen! The victory of Christ is accomplished and Christ has full authority.

Sheets frames the driving question of his book this way, “Can my prayers actually change things? Does God need me to pray or does He just want me to pray?” To the first question, Sheets will answer an emphatic “yes”! And to the second question, he will say: God needs us to pray! His answer to the first question I completely affirm. His answer to the second question (and it is the question itself that is perhaps more problematic than the answer) reveals a significant theological rift between us that ultimately leads to my inability to commend this book. In his desire to raise the importance of prayer (which is obviously a commendable motive), Sheets diminishes God’s sovereignty.

One of Sheets’s favorite ways to build an argument is through word studies. He introduces the Greek or Hebrew word in a verse and builds an argument for a unique interpretation of that verse on the basis of the meaning of that word. It’s a highly problematic method for several reasons. First, it almost always ignores the context of a verse (the argument being made by the author, the historic circumstances), Second, it flattens language, pointing out the use of the same word in different contexts and assuming the word contains the same meaning in each. That is not how language works. Third, the reading of any individual scripture in this manner imbues the language study with an almost mystical character that feels beyond the bounds of the author’s intention. Finally, it builds meaning out of a certain possible definition for the word that the word may not even be used in the text. In short, Sheets asks you to believe that his translation of these verses is better than what scholars on translation committees have come up with.

See, for instance, the way he dissects the use of the Greek word pro in Ephesians 6: “Pro means ‘in front of,’ either literally or figuratively (in the sense of superior to). We use the concept today in the word ‘professional,’ or in its shortened form ‘pro.’ A pro athlete is one who is ‘in front of’ or ‘superior to’ others. Pros also has the connotation f stepping forward and facing toward something or someone. The symbolism in this Ephesians passage is of a wrestler stepping forward and facing his opponent. God is saying to us, ‘Step forward and face the powers of darkness.’ Be a pro wrestler!” Now, that’s a pretty fun little ride Sheets took us on. The only problem is that it is Sheets’s exegesis is pure nonsense. Pro is as common a Greek word as they come. It’s used five times in this verse (Ephesians 6:12) alone (he is only applying his quirky interpretation to its first use). What Sheets does is the equivalent of taking the simple phrase, “I could go for some ice cream,” and then dissects the use of the word “for” by uncovering one unusual use of the word (let’s latch onto definition 16 for “for” from dictionary.com: “in punishment of”) and then plugging that particular use into the verse. What he was really saying was that he wants to use ice cream for punishment. It may be a fun journey, but you can see how problematic that method would be when applied broadly.

An additional problem is that Sheets’s thinking tends to be binary, which leads to some problems. Sheets says that “[Adam] represented God with full authority! He was in charge!... That is, until Adam sinned and fell short of the glory of God. God is no longer recognized in fallen humankind.” Again, Sheets overstates the issue. Human beings still reflect the image of God, albeit in a more muddied fashion. As Psalm 8 and Hebrews 2 attest, we still image God and we still have dominion. Not as well as we did before the fall, although in the indwelling power of the Spirit, we image God well enough that collectively we are called “the body of Christ” (1 Corinthians 12:27).

Sheets argues that our spiritual protection depends on our prayer life. While the basis of our power has been secured at the cross, in Sheets’s theology, God’s sovereignty has been dramatically reduced after the fall. “The only sense in which it can be said that God allows everything that happens on Earth is that He created the laws and principles… that govern the earth.” At times, Sheets’s God looks rather deistic – engaged only insofar as the saints engage him in prayer. And God is limited by the amount of faith. He argues that Jesus could not heal “because their level of faith or unbelief had hindered the flow of the power of God.” Our prayers work to unleash God’s power, not because we ask, but by “releasing enough power in the spirit to get the job done.” Sheets misunderstands several things here, including the purpose of prayer to align the heart of the one praying, God’s ultimate purposes in bringing about faith and sanctification, and the unbound sovereignty of God even in the face of sinful humanity and demonic powers.

I’m grateful for Sheets’s contribution and more broadly, for the way in which charismatic authors challenge me in a healthy way. As a reformed Baptist, the tendency of my circle can be to downplay the realm of spiritual warfare and of the active work of God. And there is much we can agree on with our charismatic brothers and sisters. Sheets powerfully says near the end of the book, “Love worship, not warfare, but when necessary, go to war.” Amen to that! And I can be far too blind to the warfare around, our call to spiritually engage in war through prayer, and in the dramatic intervention of God. I will continue reading and learning from my charismatic brothers and sisters, but ultimately I think there are too many theological issues to commend Sheets’s Intercessory Prayer.

I often find that my prayer life is the weakest part of my spiritual life. It’s so easy to slip into rote and empty prayers or even forget to pray when I’m facing something that needs prayer. And let’s be honest. What doesn’t need prayer? So, when I received the opportunity to review the new reprinting of Dutch Sheets’ classic Intercessory Prayer, I felt like it was a good opportunity to examine my prayer life and see what I can incorporate in my prayers.

Sheets begins his book by examining what are our actual questions about prayer and do we really need prayer in our life. Then, he goes on to define and discuss intercession, spiritual childbirth, spiritual warfare, the sin of side, allowing the “son” to shine through us, releasing the power of God in side of us, and how our actions impact the heavenly realm and the world around us.

Throughout the book, Sheets tells colorful stories from his own life and from those of other people, and he writes in an easy-to-read, personal style. This is actually quite an enjoyable book to read. Yet, I found myself, when he truly turned to matters of theology often in disagreement with his beliefs about our spiritual life and about prayer.

I think he goes to far in his description of us as co-laborers with Christ. I think that he makes it almost sound as if through prayer we can activate some kind of impersonal energy that will fulfill our requests. I was very leery about some of the things he said that I felt like were to this effect because it’s just a couple of steps shy of witchcraft to me. Some of his writing and his ideas make more sense in context, but there’s a fine line here that I think he’s overstepping.

I don’t see where he addresses God’s will in answering our prayers or praying in accordance with the Bible and God’s will much at all. He does address obedience to God and he does address being sensitive to the Holy Spirit in your life, but there is much to be said for praying God’s word, and there’s none of that here. I also disagreed with how often that he portrays the omnipotent God of the universe as powerless without our prayers. To me, that’s heresy. And I hate and struggle with saying that about a book because it is well-written. It is interesting, and I know that he’s trying to help people realize the power of prayers in their lives. I just don’t think that he can do that by taking away the power of God.

A very interesting book on prayer that dares to talk about the subject from a warrior's point of view. Some of what Dutch says will probably jar you, but I see nothing in this book that is contrary to scriptural teaching.

Definitely changed my prayer life!

[David Huff · Rating 4 out of 5]

I heard a wise saying years ago that reading some books is like eating watermelon --- it's still really good and very much worth it, even if you have to spit out a few seeds along the way! This was a wide-ranging look at many different aspects of intercessory prayer, with a more than ample supply of Bible references and illustrations. Also included were many personal illustrations from the author's own experiences.

Not only did it reinforce many basic truths about prayer, but I gained a number of helpful and practical insights that were new to me. It encouraged me in my own prayer life, and that alone was well worth the read.

The author writes from a Pentecostal perspective, which for some readers may seem occasionally too "subjective" (hence my analogy about the seeds) -- but don't let that deter you. This book will enhance your appreciation for the importance and power of prayer!

I read the 2016 repackaged version.

Dutch Sheets has repackaged his classic Intercessory Prayer: How God Can Use Your Prayers to Move Heaven and Earth. Sheets caused me to examine my own prayer life in light of Scripture and my traditional understanding of prayer, miracles, and the will of God.

I greatly appreciate the word studies, questions at the end of each chapter, and the Leader Discussion Guide for small groups.

When Christians consider principles about God, they would do well to imitate the Bereans who “received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so.” Acts 17:11b

According to Sheets, Christians are called to re-present Jesus to the world by extending Jesus’ work of intercession because “He needs a human on Earth to ask for Him because He is in heaven now.” (p. 49) What happened to the promise of Colossians 1:27b, “Christ in you, the hope of glory” and other Scripture references to Christians being one in Christ? Furthermore, Jesus is one with the Father and Holy Spirit, and we know that God is omnipresent, present everywhere. David so eloquently states this is in Psalm 139:7-10

Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
If I ascend to heaven, You are there;
If I make my bed in Sheol, behold, You are there.
If I take the wings of the dawn,
If I dwell in the remotest part of the sea,
Even there Your hand will lead me,
And Your right hand will lay hold of me.

I am concerned that someone who is not a student of the Word of God might misunderstand some of the examples in the book. For example, the story of David and Polly Simchen’s intercessory prayer journey for their son Jonathan on pages 131-134 recounts the couple’s years-long prayer journey to win their son back to the Lord. They anointed his room, his car, his clothing, his bed, and other belongings.

“Pastor Dutch, David, and I together laid hands on a prayer cloth, releasing God’s power and anointing into it, and agreeing that the anointing would break the yoke of drugs, sin, ungodly friends, perversion, and anything else that needed breaking.” (p. 132)

They then cut the cloth into 12 pieces and put the pieces between the sheets on his bed, in the flap of his wallet, in the cuffs of his pants and other items.

In the margin, I wrote, “witchcraft?” It felt like they were casting a “Godly” spell upon their son.

“God was performing extraordinary miracles by the hands of Paul, so that handkerchiefs or aprons were even carried from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits when out.” Acts 19:11-12

God works in many ways, even through handkerchiefs. I think the important thing to remember is that it is God working, not men and women agreeing to release God’s power. God is the One who releases His power. He may use men and women to be the instruments.

I have memorials throughout my house that help me remember what God has done in my life. They have no power in themselves; yet, as I am reminded that God has worked mightily in my life, my faith increases. God instructed the Israelites to have reminders in their homes and in all that they did, even on their bodies. Yet, these objects have no power in themselves.

I don’t know the point of the hidden pieces of a prayer cloth. They weren’t reminders of God to Jonathan–he did not know they were there.

Prayer is a mighty thing. God has used prayer to change me, to heal me of fibromyalgia when no other help appeared to work, to create divine appointments, and to make an impact upon others. God uses people, and we have power through Jesus.

A book of 286 pages cannot serve as a comprehensive study on prayer. Readers need to be aware of what is included and what is omitted. There are many biblical examples of God using men’s prayers to work miracles and modern-day examples of God using prayer to change people and geographic areas. I find it interesting that the focus in the book is not God working but on a somewhat formulaic use of prayer to “release” God’s power.

Sheets does not cover the prayers that receive the answer of “no.” For example, Jesus prayed, sweating as if great drops of blood fell from Him in the Garden of Gethsemane. His prayer: if there was another way to achieve the redemption of man, He asked that God remove the cross, but if no other way, He prayed, “Not My will but Yours be done.” Luke 22:42. Additionally, Paul prayed three times that God would remove the thorn in his flesh, and God said “My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is perfected in weakness” 2 Corinthians 12:9

There are important points for the mature Christian to consider in this book. However, readers need to search the Scriptures and pray about what Sheets presents.

[Kathy Penrod · Rating 4 out of 5]

I was really convicted about my prayer life as I read this book. It is written from a charismatic viewpoint but that didn't really affect my opinion of the book one way or the other. Sheets believes that God needs us to pray to release His authority over circumstances. Things are changed when we pray and things remain unchanged when we don't. His idea is that as we pray, we bring God's authority and will into our circumstances and that the enemy's authority over that situation is broken. He does touch on God's sovereignty as it relates to prayer but doesn't spend a lot of time on it. I would have appreciated a little more about attention to that.

At times his ideas seem a little radical for this Baptist girl but the Bible does tell us that what we bind on earth is bound in heaven and what we release on earth is released in heaven and Jesus does tell us to pray. If our prayers don't change our circumstances what is the point? Jesus also tells us that we can move mountains so it could be that my view of prayer and faith up to this point has been too cautious and restrained. Maybe I need a little more radical prayer in my life.

Sheets does a good job of backing up his ideas with scripture and going back to the original Hebrew and Greek to determine the root meaning of specific words relating to prayer. Overall, I do like the book. I don't agree with everything in it but if you are wanting to be motivated and energized to pray, this book might be a good choice for you.

[Tiffany · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best books on prayer that I've read. If you have any doubt as to the importance or the effectiveness of prayer, this book will dispel them. Far too many Christians look at prayer as what you do when all else fails instead of looking at prayer as the key to success in everything. At times, prayer may be the only action you are called to take. At other times, our prayers become the foundation that is used to ensure the success of every other action that you take to minister to people. The success of our efforts will always be birthed in our prayer closets. Forsaking prayer handicaps you before you've even begun. Dutch illustrates the power of prayer over and over again in this book. The stories that are shared in here will change your view of the power of prayer forever.

[Sarita · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is for anyone who wants to understand why prayer is so important and why we sometimes don't get immediate answers.

I enjoyed Dutch Sheets writing. It was straight forward and contained some humor as well.

Each chapter contains questions for reflection.

[Austin Damon · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow one of the most important books I’ve ever read. I have always leaned a bit more towards a reformed view of prayer: we pray because God commands us to and to align our hearts with his. I am still wrestling with the extent to which I believe everything the author says, but this book has deeply moved and motivated me to pray. It has drastically changed my prayer life.

I think God has given his church a responsibility to present Jesus victory to the world and to reconcile others to him through prayer. And this book may just have given me the faith to believe that prayer releases Gods power and victory. And that our prayer actually makes a massive difference on his creation.

[Katie · Rating 2 out of 5]

I have very mixed feelings about this book - 2 stars seem very little when it did challenge me to pray more, to believe that God answers prayer, and reminded me why we need to pray at all. He consistently pointed the reader to the fact that the power isn't from us; it is God's will and God's timing that anything happens, but he chooses to use us in bringing that to fruition. And it convicted me to spend less time worrying/arguing/etc. and more time entrusting my friends and problems into God's hands: "If you spent a fraction of the time releasing the Holy Spirit as you do talking to them, you would see many times the results."

Yet, 3 or 4 stars seems high when I also had issues with it and feel relief at finally finishing it. The Holy Spirit doesn't usually speak to me in words, but I think he does in feelings, and I definitely had a weird feeling about this book. Towards the end of the book, he says, "It may take days, weeks or years of daily intercession to receive the breakthrough. I certainly believe this can be sped up by more intelligent and informed praying, as well as by the multiplication of power that takes place through agreement." This sums up the reason I started this in September and took a two month break before picking it up again; the premise that there is a "right" way to pray that gets "results" and a "wrong" or less effective way was causing me to feel panicked and confused about prayer instead of just talking to God as to a friend.

He also had some concepts which, if not anti-Biblical, might be said to be "extra-Biblical." Or saying "I can't help wondering how many promises from God have gone unfulfilled because He can't find the human involvement He needs." Some of the practices he advocates, such as prayer cloths, seem like a Christian witchcraft- manipulating the spiritual realm through a certain set of actions, putting more faith in the right kind of prayers than in the God who answers them.

And he used way too many references to the Greek/Hebrew words in Bible verses. Half the time the meaning really didn't illuminate the verse, because it meant exactly what it was translated as; this just added extra clutter to the chapters, making his points harder to follow. Additionally, he relied far more on the language than on the context of the chapters. As another reviewer explained so well, he frequently would take one meaning of the word and apply it to other contexts. This would be like using the word "bear" for bearing each other's burdens and try to argue that we are also implying some connection the large animal. Just because one word can be used many ways does not mean that all of its meanings should be applied to every use of the word.

Also, he really doesn't talk about God's will in our prayers. What about when God's answer to a prayer is "no?" Are we to assume that Saint Paul didn't have enough faith or didn't know how to pray the "right" way because God didn't take away his thorn?

[Kyrie · Rating 2 out of 5]

As a firm believer in the power of prayer, I was very excited to get this book! As I began to read, I got more excited - this was great! There were insights presented and areas explored that took the significance and meaning of prayer in a Christian's life to an amazingly deeper level. However, as I progressed through the book, I began to come across statements and ideas that bothered me, that did not ring true when held up against the Bible, and some that even seemed to border on blasphemy.

Put simply, the 'good' in this book was 'excellent'; the 'bad' in this book was 'really bad'.

I would NOT recommend this book to a new Christian, or to one who is not mature in the Christian faith; certainly not to one who is easily swayed or gullible. I would highly recommend this book to a well-grounded Christian; someone who knows the Bible, who has a discerning spirit, and who is able to 'eat the meat and spit out the bones' of an idea. As I said above, the good parts are REALLY good, and it is worth it to glean from them.

[Jane West · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dutch Sheets shows why the only intercesor is Jesus, and we are the distributors of that intercession. Jesus has completed the work, but we are to apply what Jesus did to the situations we pray about.
He very aptly uses Scriptures to prove that we can change things here on earth as we learn to intercede.
Instead of viewing the world from a fatalist' point of view, believing God is in control, so whatever is going to happen, will happen.
God depends on us to apply His work through intercession for protection, healing, guidance, etc. in people's lives. Perhaps we need to be more purposeful in our prayers, committing specific time each day to intercede for someone day after day. Not all answers come quickly. Dutch Sheets demonstrates through stories how we can change difficult situations through intercession.
If you are interested in intercession, I recommend this book. He gives different methods and ways we can pray for others.

[Alvaro Lara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Espectacular! El mejor libro respecto al tema de la oración que he leído. La intercesión no es solo la oración de intercesión, este es la principal manera de interceder pero no es todo. Un libro profundo que nos lleva mucho mas allá en la obra intercesora de Cristo y en el como llevarla a cabo. Lo que recomiendo para todo hijo de Dios, en especial para aquel que quiera activar su intercesión como nunca antes. Es revelador, inspirado y activador, definitivamente lo releeré!

I had to read this book in shorter increments, so I could incorporate some of what is taught into actual practice in my life. Lots of good teaching! Highly recommend this book for anyone wanting to grow in prayer, especially intercessory prayer. Chapter 10 was perhaps the most impactful for me, and has given me some new strategic ways to pray that I am putting into practice.

This was a very good book to enhance my prayer life. It is written in a somewhat Pentecostal view so I didn’t completely agree with everything, however there was enough that I feel made me understand more how important being in prayer without ceasing is in our relationship with God.
