The Warrior will change your prayer life!

Have you ever awoken from a dream that was so vivid, you felt that God was commanding you to pray for the person you dreamt about? Or maybe someone is just on your mind all of the time, and feel the urge to pray or call them to make sure everything is ok. 
 
How many times do you actually do it? Are you like me, and perhaps whisper a quick prayer and then forget about it? 
 
What if the person you dreamt of wasn’t someone you even knew? Would you still pray or would you just think to yourself, “that was a strange dream,” and go on with your day? 
 
After reading The Warrior by Joyce Swann, the way you think about these things just may change. 
 

About The Warrior: 

 

the warriorEarly one morning, Elizabeth Anderson awakens from a vivid nightmare in which she sees a young man of about twenty years old dying after a terrible motorcycle accident. “Don’t die if you don’t know Jesus,” she calls out to him just before she awakens.

As Elizabeth ponders her dream, she becomes convinced that the young man in her dream is a real person. Naming him “Timothy” she begins a 10 year prayer vigil for a man she has never met. As the years go by, those prayers change not only his life, but the lives of her own family members as well.

The Warrior is a moving, powerful testimony to the power of prayer and God’s desire to redeem every life. “The effective prayer of a righteous person accomplishes much.”

 

My Review: 

I haven’t even finished this book yet, but I feel the need to tell you about it anyway, because right now it’s free for your Kindle at Amazon and I don’t want you to miss out on the chance to get it. 
 
While this book is a work of fiction, it is a most inspirational lesson about the power of prayer. In it, the main character prays diligently for years for a man she’s never met, because she dreamed about him. Because she believes God put his situation on her heart. Friends think it’s a bit strange, and so does her family. But she is not deterred. 
 
And it changes his life. And the lives of many others, too. 
 
I am convicted of how many times I have been asked to pray for someone, a situation, and while I may have spoken a quick prayer at the time, I have not been a prayer warrior. I have not been diligent in praying when I don’t really see results or know the outcome. 
 
I have not been faithful in believing that God is working in the lives of those whom he has laid on my heart to pray. I have not always believed that my prayers make a difference. 
 
This might be a fictional account, but it’s affects are life-changing. You won’t be able to read this book and not have your heart and mind changed about the power of dedicated, faithful, intercessory prayer. 
 
Buy this book  and you just may become a prayer warrior yourself.
