The Lord Jesus said His house would be called a "house of prayer for all nations." Thus, He revealed that prayer would be an indispensible component in the release of mercy to the world. The early disciples were devoted to the word of God and prayer. Like Jesus Himself, they drew their spiritual power from God, which they found in the place of prayer. They were not judgmental; they were "prayer-mental." In this third manual of In Christ's Image Training, we will seek to appropriate various aspects of the gift of prayer as seen in our passion for God, in praying for our families, and in intercession for our cities and nations. We will expose the accuser of the brethren and seek to attain the highest level of prayer, where Christ Himself, in the midst of our woundedness, intercedes through us to the Father.
