Learn to Pray Straight from God's Heart. As sheep of the Lord's pasture, we all have the ability to hear His voice. When you open the door to two-way conversation-hearing from God while you pray-you will learn to pray what is on His heart. And the clearer the lines of communication, the more effectively you can speak the mind and will of God into the lives of people in need and you will see more miraculous breakthrough occur. With the ranks of intercessors and prayer warriors rapidly growing worldwide, Prophetic Intercession will take you to a new leading-edge level of communication, like replacing two tin cans with the latest in digital state-of-the-art telecommunications!
The enemy does not want you to come into your destiny. He wants to stop the vision the Lord has given you. The enemy has heard about your progress in God you are making and he is out to stop it. (Barbara Wentroble, Prophetic Intercession, Page 22)
The author defines prophetic intercession as:
* Seeking God's presence in order to converse; * Meeting with God and hearing Him on behalf of others; * As a result of seeking, meeting with and hearing God; * Then, speaking forth the mind and counsel of God. (Page 86)
There was some good counsel in this book in respect to prayer and intercession, but the book is a bit jumpy and goes from one topic to another and doesn't flow smoothly. Also, some of the questions for reflection at the end of the chapters seemed like they were tacked on at the end with not much thought in my opinion.
My favourite chapter was the last chapter 12. This chapter dealt with preventing backlash from the enemy. Sometimes when the enemy sees our progress in the Lord, he will attack us. The author gives some advice how we can overcome this backlash. She says, "Increased ministry requires increased intercession" and writes about how we should seek spiritual accountability in our spiritual walk by being part of a good church and having spiritual advisers.
