Intercessory+Prayer

 **How has this book impacted your thinking, being, or doing?**


 * 1. Lisa says:** This book has made me realize that I am a co-laborer with God. By paga (meeting with God for someone else), I can impact that person's interaction with God & thus their life.


 * 2. Monika says:** This book is teaching me to renew my partnership with God. I haven't finished it all yet but, sometimes when I ready it, i feel like God is really speaking to me, I pray for my relationship with God to become stronger and I think this book is teaching me so much.

I love that the accomplishing isn't on our shoulders.....but that GOD set up the responsibility for us to pray.....the work was already done on the cross by Jesus and we are the ones praying for the release of power for the work already done..... Secondly.....I also have been reminded that we are re-presenters of Christ to the world....yikes! Convicting but again the responsibility is for us to depend on God.....not ourselves.....a lesson I struggle with daily!! Thirdly and lastly.....that we are called to distribute to the world.....what God has given us.....we are to share.....isn't that in Acts? Anyway.....intercessory prayer is a challenge in disciplining myself to pray according to the Spirit....the results are up to God....His plan...my obedience!
 * 3. Sue says:** I have really loved this book.....so much so that I am re-reading the book.....I remember a few months ago that Lisa mentioned about the study that had made the most impact on her life.....not only was it Truth but she mentioned about how the study kept reiterating the truth repetitiously.....I think because this study has such great Truths about how GOD set up His plan for fellowship.....man....governing the earth....redemption so that that could take place....every time I read and study this....a little more sticks.


 * 4. Marti says:** I stand a bit convicted... I don't think it's influenced me much. I need to ask God what it is he wants to show me in this. Probably it's not that I know it all ; - ) There have been 'nuggets.' One of them was where he talked about how truth comes into your life like a seed, and even if it may have born fruit in someone else's life, they can't give away their fruit, they can only give away the seed and you take it in, and let it grow and develop fruit in your life as well. I think that's a helpful way of thinking about things in that when I'm teaching, I'm (at best) presenting something that's born fruit, but it's not going to automatically make a difference for the other person. And likewise people can't show their full-blown fruit to me and see ME transformed in the same way, just because they TELL me the truth that's made all the difference for them. Bottom line, perhaps: be patient, seek God, wait and pray. For change in your own life or anyone else's. It takes time.
