If God is in Control, Then Why…? By Craig Hill; 295 pages Regular Price: $15.00 Excerpt from Craig Hill’s Blog “Why Pray?” published on October 1, 2013. If God knows and understands all, exercises perfect wisdom and holds all the power to act upon that information, then why should I pray? Why on earth would God want or need a middle man when Jesus is forever interceding for us at the right hand of the Father? That’s a good question, and one Craig Hill used to ask. The answers he received usually went something like this: “prayer changes things, prayer is powerful, or prayer moves the hand of God.” Those old clichés sound great but they still did not answer the question. The answer was revealed when Craig learned about our covenant relationship with God. Through that covenant, God delegated His authority on this earth to man. Believers became His ambassadors on earth whether they understood it or not. Amazingly, God has faith in us; He believes and expects that we will work in concert with Him to establish His purposes and plans for our life and to help meet the needs of others (intercession). We tap into God’s knowledge, understanding and wisdom through His Word. He speaks to us or impresses in our minds His will and purpose while we pray (it never contradicts His written Word). We then use our authority to release His power to bring that into manifestation. In essence, we become the voice of His Word on the earth. Wow! There is certainly much more to prayer than what I have written here. But I hope this will cause you to think and see it in a new light. To learn more please order the book, If God Is In Control, Then Why? In it, you will learn about our covenant with God and much more about how and why we pray. About the Book IF GOD IS IN CONTROL THEN WHY..? deals with that difficult question about the nature of God that plagues the minds of most people. Whether you are a lifetime believer in Christ or you have just begun looking for answers, the question, "If God is in control, then why...?" has probably been one you have heard or asked many times in your life. Craig Hill has gifted insight into God's Word and an ability to teach through riveting real-life stories. This book brings understanding to the issue of God's sovereignty and will set your heart at peace, allowing you to trust a just God in an unjust world.
