January 2008 BOOK SELECTION EXERPT:MOVING THE HAND OF GOD

This book is not about some new truth. It is about a principle that has been used by God's people in both the New Testament and the Old. It is about a neglected truth that has laid dormant in God's Word for the greater part of the last 2000 years. Praise God, is is dormant no longer! Thanks to the leading of the Holy Ghost, John Avanzini, (the Author) has restored memorial prayer in the arsenal of the saints. This method of prayer can help you quickly move the hand of God to the point of your greatest need. As always, John Avanzini will direct you through the scriptures in the simple, easy to understand way that is found in all of his books. You will find that Moving The Hand of God is full of clear, biblical proof texts that will give you confidence in this scriptural prayer method. ......you would think that unanswered prayer would be almost unheard of in the Body of Christ. But everywhere I go I meet bona fide children of God who cannot seem to get God to respond to their requests....Please do not misunderstand. I'm not saying that God never answers prayer. Innumerable times He most definitely does answer the prayers of His children. ....After considerable searching, I finally found two examples of Old Testament women whose long term prayers were not being answered: Hannah and the widow at Zarephath. They had something peculiar in common. They both did the same thing which instantly turned their unanswered prayers into answered prayers. When I found that similarity, I immediately realized I had made a breakthrough discovery. ....I am happy to say that after just a short time of further study, God revealed to me exactly how to move His hand to the point of need. I immediately shared what I had learned with the church member who got me started on my journey. In turn he put the principle to work in his life, and I was blessed to hear that God miraculously began to move in his situation. Before the end of six months, his prayer was totally answered. He later shared with me that he would never again approach God with a problem of great urgency without using the method of prayer I had shown him from the Word of God!!! CHAPTER 2: A NEW POWER PRAYER EMERGES! ....she vowed a vow, and said.....remember me I Samuel 1:11...... One of the first places my study took me was to Samuel's mother Hannah....Her prayer request was a simple one. She wanted to have a child!!!!
