The P90x craze takes a spiritual turn with Prayer 90x! Pastor Ivor Myers’ 90x Prayer will help you in your biblical analysis and prayer devotionals. Have you ever wanted to reflect on what you need from the Word of God? What if you’ve ever walked away from your devotions not sure what you just read or, better yet, not quite sure how to communicate with God?
Without further ado, here is my review of Prayer 90x, a prayer journal and book by Pastor Ivor Myers. Pastor Ivor Myers’ Preface sets the tone for what the 90x Prayer will give you as an individual seeking to change your spirituality.
“This book is a new kind of devotional. It will guide you step by step through the hour of worship. This prayer exercise will help you stretch, that is, expand your mind and heart to receive ever-wider truths.” on God’s word. God. It will build spiritual muscle so you can handle the heavy truths of God’s word. It will burn the fat of sin from you so that you are no longer weighed down by a multitude of bad habits and attitudes. IT WILL HELP YOU ELIMINATE YOUR WEAKNESSES. And most importantly, it will leave you drenched in the spirit of God.” (From 90x Prayer by Pastor Ivor Myers)
If P90x got you sweating like never before, Pastor Ivor Myers suggests that the 90x prayer will get you sweating and drenched in God’s Spirit. For my part, I don’t like it when people make big claims and don’t back them up, but for my part, I take this devotional prayer seriously in this regard. Many prayer journals boast and being able to see the results in 90x Prayer is what is so amazing. Personally, I’m tired of the self-help mantra that you can change yourself when it’s clear in the Bible that you can’t do anything apart from Jesus (John 15:5). Pastor Ivor Myers calls his attention to what it is like to have a broken spirit and a contrite heart. This is what a good devotional should teach you and me. Here is a small excerpt from the first day:
“Focus: Put all your burdens at the foot of the cross of Christ, emptying your mind of distractions, problems, issues so that you can direct all your mental focus on the word of God and the presence of God. Concentrate on the following verse word for word. Memorize it.”(Prayer 90x Learn more)
This is a call for us to come to the cross, we who are very burdened and burdened, I think what Ivor Myers is creating with this 90-day devotional is to accomplish what Steps to Christ was trying to accomplish, but in a more intimate for today’s world. bible student The power of prayer is revealed in this book and is divided into 4 main sections.
Warm-up: This is where you will prepare to spend some quality time with God and open yourself up to fellowship with the Holy Spirit.
Strength and Endurance Training: This is where the Bible comes to life for you as you study and pray for God to reveal His will and gain a deeper understanding of what the verses are trying to tell you.
Cardio and Fat Burner: This section allows you to unload your sins at the foot of the cross asking God as David did “Psalms 139:23 Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts:” This will allow you to have God solve and help you to overcome whatever problem you may have in your life, whether it be lust, lies, hate, or whatever you are holding on to. sight to the blind and made the lame sleep with God and give them the healing they need spiritually right here by burning the fat of sin right out of their character!
Rest: Allowing yourself to truly rest in the bosom of the Master and Creator is something that Jesus so desires to put on your mind. Many things are said about Jesus, but one thing that needs to be pointed out here is that Jesus came to bring you grace and peace and I don’t know about you, but that’s good news for me!
Within these main sections are subsections in 90x Prayer, and as you noted earlier in the review, “Focus” was one of the sections we mentioned. Pastor Ivor Myers mentions the subsections as follows:
Focus: This time is dedicated to emptying your mind of all other thoughts and focusing it on the word and Presence of God. You want to cross as if it were an invisible veil into the very presence, the chamber of God. For this reason you must be in a very quiet place.
Stretch: During this time, you are asking God to expand your ability to receive the precious gems of his word.
Praise: Take this time to praise and thank God for everything he has done or is doing in your life.
Confession: Take this time to confess the known sins in your life.
Petitions: Use this time to bring your prayer, Petitions and intercession before the Lord.
Silence: During this time you must train your ear to hear the whisperings of the Holy Spirit through the Word. What does the Spirit want to say to you in light of your worship?
The 90x prayer was written for the layman and scholar to put into spiritual form. 90x Prayer is teaching people to have effective prayer and reveals the power of prayer for all who believe. As I said, there are many prayer books out there and you are free to choose your own, but for the price and the content, this book completes it for me.
So here is your spiritual journey, I hope your walk with God continues on the path you are looking for.
