Praying Clear Through
“God needs giants today, and we receive giant strength by waiting on Him.” — Will J. Harney
Most believers do not rise to their full privilege in prayer. Successful prayer cannot be rushed. If we want to hear from heaven, we must allow time for God’s voice to fully break through the din of life. When we have a tremendous amount of work to be done for the day, we dare not leave out prayer. As Martin Luther observed, “I have so much to do that I shall spend the first three hours in prayer.”
The real danger in not taking sufficient time to commune with God and implore Him for our requests is the slow erosion of the Spirit’s voice, when life’s static distracts a believer from what is truly important and necessary for a successful life.
In this classic work on effective prayer, Will J. Harney reminds us that there are vast rewards in store for those who make prayer a priority. Prayer does not need to be a chore for the growing Christian, for it is one of the highest privileges accorded us. But to receive our divine answer, we must “pray clear through”— that is, pray continually and with urgency until, at last, we hear from heaven.
"And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him." (1 John 5:14–15)

Excellent book on prayer, meant to be savored, read, studied, and reread. I was humbled by the testimonies of people's prayer journeys and the fruit that resulted. To God be the glory! It has given me extra faith, strength and hope during a valley that I'm walking through. It's put a yearning in my heart to learn to pray this way. Thank you mom...and thank you Lord for putting this powerful book in my hands. I read it through on my own and am rereading and praying clear through with my husband now. God bless.

The authors' vernacular and grammar made this a very slow read for me. He details personal accounts and experiences of prayer and fasting and the many results of those answeres prayers. One can not help but be drawn to a greater devotion to prayer and praying until you have a confirmed answer after reading his testimonials.

Excellent book on prayer! Now, to put into practice. Highly recommend if you have a desire and heart to learn more about prayer. The Bible and this book together are great resources.
