Prayers That Strike the Mark are specific prayers authorized by the Holy Spirit and endowed with divine power to accomplish the will of God in your life and for the needs of the world. On the cross, Jesus fulfilled the ultimate answer to all of our prayers, but He awaits our invitation to come into our situations and circumstances. When people of prayer intercede, they create a meeting place between the heavenly Father and His children. God comes upon the person who is praying and moves them from the natural to the supernatural. Empowered by God, the intercessor has the authority to cut down enemy forces and pick out "targets" for God’s lightning bolts of glory, bringing victory and breakthrough.
Intercession could be called "extreme prayer," because it links extreme needs with the extraordinary power of God. Inserting ourselves into the gap between God and a need, we call upon the Holy Spirit, our Helper, who is ready to move us from finite ability to infinite ability, take hold of difficult situations, and help accomplish the will of God. We have the great honor of being called to "paint targets" on cities, churches, ministries, family members, contemporary "Sauls" (those who persecute or cause difficulty), and even ourselves. Our believing, persistent prayers will strike the mark!

Prayer changes the conditions upon which the decisions of God are made. When we pray, good things happen. When we don’t, the power of darkness has its way. It’s a great tragedy to see how many believers look upon what darkness has accomplished and call it the sovereign will of God. According to Scripture, God’s will is ‘on earth as it is in heaven.’ Prayer enables us to partner with Him to make His will/kingdom manifest here in this world. Strike the Mark focuses on this very thing. James Goll encourages us all to see intercession as the vehicle God uses to release His glory into every situation. I urge you to read this book and to stand in the place of prayer for your family, city, and nation. Give heaven a target, and watch God’s glory will increasingly manifest on the earth.
