"Debbie has done a remarkable job of explaining the fine details, and practical considerations, that one needs to take into account in raising up a prayer covering for your city. Debbie's insights are inspiring and encouraging, and I am certain the fruit of her hard work will be many, many more people who are mobilized to pray for their cities. And of course the outcome will be transformed cities, nations and continents."

-Susan Tameris, Bible Teacher

I am absolutely amazed at the movement of prayer God has initiated in America and throughout the world. There has been nothing like it in all the history of the church. For many years now I have had the privilege to travel the globe (sometimes six times in a single year) and have repeatedly seen the tremendous things God is doing in and through His praying people. As the years have passed, I have seen with my own eyes the emergence of a mighty army of intercessors who are Touching Heaven with their prayers and transforming cultures as the result.   

As we approach the return of Christ, and as this global movement of heaven-touching prayer continues to impact every part of our planet, I believe God will give the church prayer strategists like Debbie Pryzbylski who will receive profound insights into the depth and impact of these prayers. Ascending the Heights in Prayer is an excellent guide accomplishing precisely this. I cannot recommend this book more highly. It is a guide prepared through a lifetime of the author’s prayer experiences that will provide any intercessor, young or old, rich treasures that will transform his or her prayer life.

Equally important, Ascending the Heights in Prayer reminds all followers of Jesus that prayer is the natural result of a living relationship with God and that from this relationship we each can become world-changers. This profound truth, and a multitude of other equally vital truths found within the pages of this marvelous book, may well change the way you approach God in prayer! As you soak in these pages (and I pray you will) I am certain you will be refreshed in your resolve to approach God’s throne, ascending ever higher and higher into the riches of His infinite presence. And when you arrive at that place you won’t want to selfishly stay there. You will want to rush out to a dying world and invite all you meet to experience the very joys you have found in ascending those same heights, that they may encounter the Lord as you have.

Read this book today. Don’t miss another moment. And then invite others to join you on this joyful journey to new heights in the presence of our wonderful Lord.

THE ONLY REAL WEAPON Satan has to use against us is to lie. He lied to Adam and Eve in the garden, he lied to Jesus in the wilderness, and he lied to Peter when he put the thought in his mind that Jesus should not die on the cross. But his lies have power in our lives when there are unresolved emotions in our lives, such as fear, anger, guilt, lust, and jealousy. These emotions give power to the lies of Satan. And they provide a landing strip for the enemy to gain entrance to our beliefs. If we believe a lie, it has power. 

Breakthrough Prayer provides the needed insights and tools to overcome the lies of Satan. One might think, "Well, just believe the truth and you will be free." If it were only that easy! We do wrestle against principalities and powers. If the battle against Satan were easily won, there would be no wrestling. And Paul would not have warned the Ephesian believers of their need to take the enemy seriously. 

We do fight spiritual battles; all of us, and this book is just the kind of tool we need to win those battles. I commend it to you. Debbie Przybylski has learned to fight well. She has won her own battles and has gained the kind of spiritual authority needed to prepare others to be victorious. You can trust Debbie. You are in good hands when you allow her to "train your hands for war."

Prayer is truly the most effective tool that a Christian has at his or her disposal—not only does it connect one to God (the source of all true life), but it also gives you strength, encouragement, insight, and blessing to face your daily journey and change the world around you. 

When I accepted Christ as my savior in 1998 I would never have imagined that God would use me to mobilize millions of people to prayer and repentance! After all, I am a guy who had spent his life growing a company that builds roads, houses, and commercial developments. It would have been much easier for me if the Lord had simply asked me to build clinics or orphanages. But God knows what is best. And so the Lord gave me an instruction to call together all of the Christians in our city, Cape Town, South Africa, for a day of repentance and prayer in 2001. To my amazement 45 thousand people came to that first day of prayer at the Newlands Rugby stadium! Something special had be- gun, and those stadium prayer events spread throughout South Africa, Africa, and eventually the world. In 2008 we had over 350 million people from 215 of the world’s 220 nations participating in Global Day of Prayer events on Pentecost Sunday all across the globe! It is humbling and awe inspiring to see what God can do through obedience and prayer. 

From the very start I knew that the Global Day of Prayer was intended not as a ‘single day’ event. No matter how many people we brought together for a single day of prayer in a city, it would never be enough. What God desires is a lifestyle of prayer. It is a joy to witness how the humble cooperation between churches during the ten days leading up to the Global Day of Prayer each year is bringing about such a lifestyle of community-based prayer. In South Africa alone we have more than six thousand 24-hour a day, 7-day a week, prayer watches—these include churches, marketplace ministries, educational institutions, and even prisons! 

I am certain that God is pleased by this commitment to pray for our world, interceding for the needs and concerns that break God’s heart as much as they break ours. I can also say with certainty that prayer changes things! We have thousands of testimonies of how faithful and righteous prayers have transformed both individuals and communities. 

It is for this reason that I was overjoyed to learn of this book on 24/7 prayer. Debbie has done a remarkable job of explaining the finer details, and practical considerations, that one needs to take into account in raising up a prayer covering for your city. Debbie’s insights are in- spiring and encouraging, and I am certain the fruit of her hard work will be many, many more people who are mobilized to pray for their cities. And, of course, the outcome of that will be transformed cities, nations, and continents. 

My prayer for you is that you will be blessed and encouraged as you read this book, and that you will have the courage and the commitment to act upon what God may want to share with you about prayer for your city! If we stand together, we can see the whole earth transformed by the Glory of the Lord, as the waters cover the sea (Habakkuk 2:14). 

It is through the fires of testing that we are taken deeper into God’s presence and deeper into a life of prayer. Our hour of desperation can be our finest hour if we turn to God, who is the only One who can meet us at that point. Debbie met God in her hour of desperation and together with the Holy Spirit has given us the fruit of that meeting combined with years of training by Him in prayer. This book, Deeper Still: Secrets to a Deeper Prayer Life, is one of those anointed books that captivates the heart and draws one closer to God. Debbie challenges the reader not only to a life of prayer but of communion with God in a place of hiddenness, a place that she herself has found and can write about with clarity. 

You, the Reader, are embarking on a wonderful journey. As you open this book, you will find answers to your many questions and you WILL find the secrets to a deeper prayer life within these beautifully written pages, secrets that have been well worked out in the author’s life. Thank you, Debbie, for pressing in to God and giving us this beautiful gift from Him.
