If God's Word is the plumb line that exposes lies, prayer is the environment in which truth becomes personal — the place where we stop reasoning about God and start talking to Him.
Discussion Questions
7 questions1.Isaiah 62:6–7 depicts watchmen on Jerusalem's walls who are commanded to 'give Him no rest' until He establishes Jerusalem. Moore uses this image to describe the kind of persistent, expectant prayer that precedes and accompanies genuine freedom. What does that image stir in you about your own prayer life?
2.Moore argues that many Christians pray *about* their bondage (mentioning it to God) rather than praying *against* it (engaging it as a spiritual battle). What is the difference, and what does praying 'against' a stronghold actually look like in practice?
3.She addresses the discouragement many people feel when they have prayed for freedom from a particular stronghold for years without visible breakthrough. How does she counsel perseverance in prayer? What does she say about the difference between unanswered prayer and delayed breakthrough?
