A glorious spiritual awakening is on the horizon, sparked by the combustible mix of worship and prayer! Dick Eastman calls this combination “intercessory worship,” and in this one-of-a-kind guidebook, he explains how worship-saturated prayer rises like a fragrance before God’s throne to declare His glory and reign over all circumstances, relationships and governments – and he shows how you can engage in life-transforming intercessory worship. Eastman, who began one of the first modern 24/7 prayer ministries for young people during the Jesus Movement of the 1970s, reveals why intercessory worship is the greatest last-days prayer movement in history and invites you to join the worldwide Body of Christ in fanning the flames of revival through the combination of biblical worship and scriptural prayer. Your life, your family, your church, your community and the world will be transformed as the presence and power of the Holy Spirit pour forth from the heart of God.

This book takes us into the heart of what it means to war and to worship. Dick Eastman explains how the specific worship pathways King David followed are the same pathways that are central to God’s plan to fulfill the Great Commission. This is an exciting time to be alive! Church, let’s cooperate with God’s plan – in the way we worship and in the way we intercede – to bring people to Himself from every tribe, tongue and nation.
