Spiritual Transformation Through The Effectual and Fervent Prayer of a Righteous Man focuses on the important role prayer plays in the spiritual transformation of one's life. Prayer is a complex discipline, whose functionality and purpose have been easily overlooked and glossed over by many people and seldom understood. It is a spiritual activity that can only be correctly understood with the help of the Spirit of God. The Bible teaches us that "the person without the spirit (of God) does not accept the things that come from the spirit of God but considers them foolishness and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit" (1 Corinthians 2:12-14). Put simply Prayer is not an intellectual matter and must not be inoculated by the virtues of intellectualism and human philosophy. Prayer is talking to God. Prayer is work but prayer works. Prayer at a deeper personal spiritual level and reflection means the desire to work on oneself, to work on one's character, and to work on one's attitude consistently until Christ is fully formed in you. It is only prayer mixed with faith and reading the word of God that can achieve that transformation in a person's life.
