How to Pray without Ceasing

Valerie, I wanted you to know that your book, How To Pray Without Ceasing is so inspiring and such a breath of life to my life of prayer. Your warm and calming spirit is felt from the beginning to the end of the book. The teacher that you are is displayed at the end of each chapter with questions to the reader to make sure we get it, as well as the personal testimonies that inspired the birthing of your book. This book is a must read from the newly born again believer to the seasoned king. May God breathe on this book and refresh the lifestyle of prayer in every place that it is read. No teaching on prayer should be without this anointed book. Truly with prayer and our obedience to II Chronicles 7:14, we will see the kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. Love, Your Sister In Christ,

The truths discussed in this book, together with chapter 2 blessed me personally while I was battling cancer. Entering into the presence of God together with the prayer of faith have brought healing to my life. How to Pray without ceasing is a must read, for sufferers who could not have recovered without the direct action of the Holy Spirit. To God be the glory, I am a cancer survivor!

I use the book everyday as a daily devotion. Elder Nate Aikens, Valley Kingdom Ministries Int.

How to Pray without ceasing is not only a spirit filled book, but it teaches you how to and when to pray. We all know that there is a way to talk but it’s also a time and season for everything. Praying without ceasing teaches us how to talk to our Heavenly Father and that His ears are not heavy that He don’t hear but praying and talking to Him in right standard. Enjoy this great book!

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would personally like to thank God first for all He has taught me and continues to teach me by His precious Spirit. I’d like to thank my cousin, Janine Weathersby for her encouragement to complete what the Lord had placed on my heart. I’d like to thank my two sons, Antoine and John, very precious men of God who has been with me through a lot and John who has also encouraged me to finish. Children are indeed a blessing from the Lord. I’m grateful for the both of you and the uniqueness in which God has made each of you individually. There have been many great men and women of God in my life. I’d like to thank Pastors Corneal and Joyce Harper who saw the gifts the Lord placed in me, opened the doors of their church, New Beginnings Full Gospel Church and gave me many opportunities to utilize the gifts of God. I’d like to thank Pastors James & Yohannah Watson of Abundant Life Teaching Center who also allowed the Lord to use me to help train up intercessors. I’d like to thank Apostle H. Daniel Wilson of Valley Kingdom Ministries International who is truly a man after God’s own heart and whose teaching on the series Your Assignment has inspired me even more. Last and certainly not least, I’d like to thank my dad, Raymond Smith who put foundational teachings in me as a child. As a result, I fell in love with the Lord Jesus Christ as a young child. I love you daddy. I love the Lord and love to teach His word. I love each of you dearly. May the blessings of the Lord overtake each one of you as you continue in His will.

In Loving Memory of two very special people. They both allowed God to use them to help develop me to become the person I am today.

My mother, Lois Smith, who was also my closest friend. I am so grateful for all of her prayers and her love. She went home to be with the Lord on May 20, 1998.

Pastor James E. Watson who taught me much including the fact that friends are friends forever. He pastored and founded Abundant Life Teaching Center in Harvey, Illinois. He went home to be with the Lord on June 24, 2004. Each of them left unique legacies behind them

Father God,

I thank you and bless your wonderful, Holy Name. I count it an honor to be your child. For truly there is none like you. I ask you Father, to let your anointing and understanding come upon each individual as they read this book. I pray that the fire of your Holy Spirit will come upon them as they seek you in prayer. Lead, guide and direct each one in the area that You will have them to pray. I ask also that You will increase them in wisdom causing the eyes of their understanding to be enlightened. Father God cause each one to fulfill the destiny and complete the assignment that you have ordained for each of their lives. Thank you Father, in Jesus Name I pray. Amen

There are many great books about prayer that have been a tremendous blessing in my life. Some of them are mentioned in this book and there are some others mentioned at the end. Through the years, the Lord has used nuggets from each of them to help
