THE PRAYER RADICAL: Enduring God's Presence Until You Enjoy It

Although prayer is a very common subject and central to the Christian experience. It took me at least twenty years or more before I felt comfortable in writing a book on the subject of prayer. The reason for the long wait is because as simple as the subject may seem, there is a mystery surrounding the act of prayer even though the mystery does not mean it cannot be comprehended. My delay was in order to have a good grip on the subject through experience before attempting to put together a manuscript comprising of both knowledge gained through revelation of scripture and practical experience through years of engagement. To be a ‘Prayer 
Radical’ calls for persistence and endurance. It calls for praying against yourself at times or against desires in your flesh that you know will ultimately destroy you if God doesn’t intervene. Being a Prayer Radical, calls for staying the course in prayer until God comes through for you. It is knocking at the gates of Heaven until there is a divine intervention. It involves the act of inquiry and a culture of waiting upon the Lord. Throughout the pages of the Holy scriptures, one may stumble upon Prayer Radicals and the way they changed their world by persistence and endurance.
