Pastor Jerry "Live!"

       Many folks are looking for that “silver bullet” that fixes everything in life.  Millions of motivation programs and books are sold every year and most are never used.  Many folks who buy into those programs have a  "Show me something new," attitude,  yet they never quite seem to master the basics before moving on to the next new thing.

       Regrettably, many of our prayers are structured with the same kind of mentality: “Do it now God, so I can get on with something else.  Help me come up with a “home run prayer” that pulls it all together.” We expect Him to do it all while we sit back and wait, unaware that we have an important part to play in each prayer request we make.  

       You won’t find much of that "silver bullet" mentality inside my new book, “What God Can’t Do: Keys to Prayer Power,” although it would probably sell better with that kind of promise plastered all over it.  Simple easy steps taken day by day will accomplish far more than reading the “right” book or following the latest success guru’s admonitions.   Faithfulness in small things leads to faithfulness in great things, and never the other way around.

       We almost never need the whole solution; just the next step.  That’s what this book is about: seeking God’s guidance before we pray, listening to what He says about the next step, then taking it.  Effective prayer is more listening than speaking, and I hope that message comes across as you read this book.

       An unexpected benefit comes from periodically re-reading this book.  You will most likely begin to experience the pleasant surprises that I call “collateral blessings,” where situations and areas in your life improve without your specifically having prayed about them.  Also God may speak to you in sections that you skimmed over the first time about another step to take, or solution to explore,

now that previous situations have changed.

       Please help get the message of hope, forgiveness, love, and power that I’ve tried to write into each page out into the world.  Order (or download) your copy today and share God’s love with your family and friends soon.  Email a copy of this message to everyone you know, and we’ll see how long it takes the message of God’s love to go around the world again.

Peace, joy, and love, 

Pastor Jerry L. Lewis
