Dad Said! Praying in Our Father's Authority
What if your prayers carried Heaven's full authority?
Most Christians pray TO God ABOUT their problems, feeling powerless and defeated. But Jesus taught a different way—praying WITH God, declaring His will on earth with the confidence of a child saying, "Dad said..."
In this transformative book, Dr. Kevin Stirratt reveals the revolutionary prayer method Jesus gave us in Matthew 18:18—the authority to bind what opposes God's will and loose what He intends to free. Drawing from the Lord's Prayer as a framework, you'll discover how to:
• Usher God's presence where He's been ignored
• Declare His Kingdom over chaos and strongholds
• Break free from self-sufficiency and idolatry
• Extend radical grace to others
• Claim victory over trials and spiritual attacks
Combining biblical depth with powerful real-life stories of breakthrough, Dad Said! equips you to shift from victim to victor in prayer. This isn't just theology—it's a weapon Jesus placed in your hands.
Stop begging. Start declaring. Pray in your Father's authority.
Perfect for:
✓ Believers frustrated by seemingly unanswered prayers
✓ Christians ready to experience God's power in prayer
✓ Parents fighting for prodigal children
✓ Small groups seeking transformation
✓ Anyone facing impossible circumstances that require breakthrough
