How would it feel to enter into prayer with confidence and assurance - certain that God heard you and that your prayers would make a difference? It would likely feel amazing and unfamiliar. That's because often our prayers seem to be met with silence or don't appear to change anything.

Prayer is communication. It is not a formula that we have memorized, or an empty repetition of words and phrases, but our conversation with God—with us first speaking and then listening to what God has to say to us in return. Yet as Dr. Charles Stanley reveals, our prayers go beyond mere human interaction in that they give us access into the very throne room of God. Our heavenly Father grants us the privilege to come before him with authority because of our position in Christ. When we do, we can be bold in believing that God will accomplish what He promised He would do in our lives.

Your prayers in the throne room live forever. Learn to pray with Jesus, not just to him. Throne Room Prayer is God’s invitation for you to become a prayer partner with Jesus and learn sacred secrets.
