The Power of Surrender
Every week great numbers of God’s people gather and act like nothing is wrong. Increasingly comfortable with today’s immoral culture, we are sin-sick, but are we sick of sin? Entertaining ourselves to death, we listen to pundits instead of prophets. We bend our ear toward the government when we need to bend our knee to the Lord.
Something needs to change.
The Power of Surrender sounds a clear alarm declaring the desperate need for revival in America’s church. With a storyteller’s appeal, respected pastor michael Catt upacks what this turnaround requires on both personal and corporate levels:
- Focus on confession and cleansing
- Making repentance and restoration a priority
- Walking in the fulness of the Holy Spirit and abiding in Christ
Believing that the Lord is already stirring His people to return to this message of revival, Catt writes with urgency and hope, illuminating the power of surrender to all who will let go of old ways and let God do a new work in our lives.
The Power of Persistence
Have you ever wondered what life would be like if, once and for all, you truly stayed in constant communication with God? Imagine how much of His power you’ve done without by avoiding Him here and there. Imagine what could happen now if you don’t walk with Him on occasion but on the clock–day by day, moment by immeasurable moment?
Pastor Michael Catt, whose church launched the international hit films Facing the Giants and Fireproof, is often asked why God has blessed their efforts in such a remarkable way. His answer is simple: “We have a praying church that is walking in unity. We pray over every ministry and decision.”
Recognizing individuals and churches are often powerless because they are prayerless–and how some prayers equate to nothing more than “worrying on our knees”–Catt offers The Power of Persistence so we can experience real breakthroughs in our prayer life.
The stories here from Scripture and the author’s personal journeys attest to the prophetic and profitable work of prayer. Richly insightful chapters on prayers of penitence, learning from the psalmist, praying for others, and praying in response to spiritual warfare foster a life-changing level of intimacy with the God who is eager to hear our cries and accomplish His work through us.
The Power of Desperation
Does it feel like you’re barely hanging on? Hang in there. In seasons of brokenness, God has a graceful way of not tossing us aside but making us whole again, turning our most desperate situations into defining moments. It happens throughout the Bible, and maybe it’s happening to you or someone close right now.
Michael Catt, a pastor whose church launched the international hit films Facing the Giants and Fireproof , has found simple yet saving wisdom in The Power of Desperation, another breakthrough concept worthy of widespread application.
“When we are weak, He is strong. In the darkest hour, He shines the brightest. In the pit, we find the bottom is solid ground,” Catt writes at the outset of a soul-stirring journey through his and other people’s hard times and renewed hopes.
Keep reading to find yourself in these engaging, remarkable stories, to realize you are never alone, and to know the Lord more intimately. Discover the power of desperation.
“No matter what your difficulties may be today, there’s an encouraging word for you in these pages. Open the book, open your heart, and start moving toward victory.”
