School of Prayer

A course in spiritual warfare that can transform your life and bring revival to your church. 
By J.W. Tharp

For years I wondered where prayer warriors might be found who could prevail with God, destroy the stronghold of Satan and see revival in the Church. Then the Lord made it clear to me that such intercessors are not to be "found" like discovering oil or gold. They will be raised up and taught to pray by Spirit-filled leaders who are themselves "devoted to prayer and to the ministry of the Word". Thousands of floundering Christians are waiting to be taught the biblical principles of spiritual warfare. When we return to the kind of praying Jesus modeled -- and the early church followed -- we shall unlock the heavens and allow God to send another Great Awakening so desperately needed at this hour.


This course in the New Testament dynamics of prayer will make for true worship and spiritual power in your daily life, and it will prepare you for the front lines of battle.

An Authority in Prayer Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs too deep for words. And he who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God (Rom. 8:26-27).
