Recent Testimonies November 13, 2007
Hello Dr. Frizzell,
My name is Eli F. and I have recently finished reading you book, How to Develop Powerful Prayer Life. It is very insightful and practical. I have a long way to go before I begin to feel confident about my prayer life. Like man ministers that you mentioned in your book, this is an area of my walk with Christ that has been a constant struggle. Your book is such an encouragment to me, in fact I am reading it for a second time. I am also planning to use it as the main resource for a series of teaching on prayer in our church.
Thank you
Eli F.

Dear Brother Frizzell,
Thank you sooooo much for your book, How to Develop a Powerful Prayer Life. God has used it greatly in my life. I can not express how I praise God for this book. My name is Linda C. My husband was called into fulltime Ministry in 1996. We moved to Gray Georgia in August of 1998 to plant a church. Our sponsoring church was 1st Baptist Church of Gray. Anyway it was a miracle and just like your book we could tell many miracles that God has done for us and our family. We moved with our six children and now have 7 children. My husband and I have been married 23years. Our lives changed because of prayer, our marriage changed because my husband started praying. I know the power of prayer but I never really had a consistent time of prayer. I was the pray with out ceasing (with seven children you can understand why) However, I knew that I still needed more time with the Lord. I do and did pray about everything. My husband has taught me to pray on the spot with people and for situations when they come up. I have a prayer partner that I would pray with once a week and that was really the only time I seemed to carve out for myself. We would pray and study for at least 3-4 hours. I desired to spend more time with God, but habits of staying up late (Babies etc.) and trying to get up early just didn't work. Like the Bible says "What does it profit a man to stay up late and rise early? Our association had a Prayer Conference and my husband & I went and it just re-affirmed things to my husband that he had learned in prayer.
Therefore we taught this confernce to our church. Our DOM gave us your book. We loved it. We read it together as a part of our bible study together and I was lead to go to my closet in my bedroom and pray. I also put an alarm in my bathroom so I would get up. Then I wrote my self a note on a sticky pad that said "Good Morning Thou Good and Faithful Servant Wash your face and Go Meet your God!!!! It has worked!!!! There was a time when something with minstry or family knock me off of my routine,(5:30am prayer) but I remembered what you said the word says "There is No Condemnation in Christ." And I return to practice. I knew had to get up early and make him first Sometimes my practice is not in the same place, but I try to carve out at least an hour of alone time with just me and the Lord. And the funny thing is an Hour does not seem to be enough. I am going through your book again and I am motivated all over again. I also received your other book, Return to Holiness.Thank You sooooo much. The Spirit of God and your book has changed me and has made me more determined than ever fight for my time with the Lord. I would like to purchase more books for every person in our church. At the beginning of the year we go on a Church Wide fast for 21 days & we meet to pray on Wednesday instead of Bible study. I believe your book will encourage our small church to pray as my husband has preached over and over again. We will need 30 books of How to Develop a Powerful Prayer life and 10 books Returning to Holiness. We have 14 adults and 7 teenagers that attend on a regular basis and are members. I would like each person to have a prayer book and each family household to have Return to Holiness. This will leave us with a few extra to give away. Please Let me know what I must do to purchase your books. I need to have them before January 1st, 2008. Thank you so much!!!! Your Labor in the Lord is NOT in vain. God Continue to bless you Linda C.

Dear Dr. Frizzell,
We are so thankful to God for the ministry He gave us. We have blessed thousands of lives through the books. Returning to Holiness is in its 5th edition and How to Develop a Powerful Prayer Life, in its 4th. The total is 207,500 books printed (for Brazilian pastors and congregations in Portuguese). We thank you so much for your help. The funds you sent arrived here on May 15th. People keep on looking for the books, reading them and having their lives transformed by God. We have more good news, Releasing the Revival Flood is all translated. Sister Hedy Silvado has made a wonderful job again. Now we have to do the revision and correct Portuguese. Some people that know we will soon edit the 3rd Book have already been asking when it will be ready. They are eager to read it. We hope to print this book before the end of the year. God has been wonderful to our ministry and family.
Juracy Bahalia, President of Brazilian Baptist Convention

Bro. Frizzell, I am the Director of Missions for the Big Spring Baptist Association in Texas. I have just finished reading your guide for daily cleansing and church-wide solemn assemblies. I want to thank you for writing this book. I think it is the finest book I have read on the subject. I am also pastor of one of the association churches and plan to preach throughout the summer on the contents of this book. I am a new DOM and we are planning an area wide crusade in the fall. I have a desire to get into the hands of all my pastors and deacons a copy of this book. I also want some for the church I pastor. Thanks and God Bless you in your ministry of calling our nation and world back to holiness. In Christ, Bro. John McCullough

Bro Frizzell, I have just read the booklet Biblical Patterns for Powerful Church Prayer Meetings and was blessed by it. Would you tell me where I could get more copies and how much they would be?Also I am interested in the book A Comprehensive Guide to Church and Small Group Prayer Meetings.Thank you Charleen H.
Dear Dr. Frizzell: Our pastor had a copy of How to Develop a Powerful Prayer Life through the South Carolina Baptist Convention. What an outstanding book. I've been asking our Lord for a resource to take me to a higher level of prayer...and our Lord sent you. It has been easy to go 30 minutes the last two days - I use my 5 fingers to remind me of the 5 types of prayer.How do I go about purchasing Returning to Holiness? And how can I be praying for you?

Dear Dr. Frizzell:
A year or more ago, my son gave me a copy of yourbook, How To Develop a Powerful Prayer Life. I knewI needed to read it so I put it in a personal notebookthat I carry with me most all the time. But, I neverread it until recently, when I had to take my invalidwife and evacuate in the wake of Hurricane Rita. While in a shelter (we were fortunate that somewonderful people made their guest house available tous), I read your book. I am in the process ofdeveloping the pattern of prayer you describe becauseI know it can establish the relationship with God thatI have long wanted to have.I was also impressed to give a copy of that bookto each of my Sunday School class members and to someother friends and our church leadership. Thank you for writing this important book and I prayfor God's continued blessings on your life andministries. Sincerely, Robert S.
Dear Dr. Frizzell, My name is Adriana Minculescu, I am 26 and I presently live in Bucharest, Romania. I am a student at the Romanian Bible University where I enrolled in a Master Program of Bible Studies and Mission.
I just wanted to write you a short message to tell you that I particularly like your book How to Develop a Powerful Prayer Life. I find it very practical and encouraging for a Christian who wants a change in her prayer life. Thank you for the simple and yet profound truths you have expressed in your book!
May God bless you continue to inspire you !
Love, in Christ, Adriana
Dear Dr. Frizzell, A little over a year ago I had the immense pleasure of being in one of your breakout sessions at the Evangelism Conference at Lexington, KY. Your teaching and testimonies on prayer greatly affected me. I began trying to organize a prayer group at my church, having been moved by the difference you had said it made in your church. We were without a pastor, and things looked bleak. God sent us a pastor shortly after that, one who believes in prayer. He and I are trying again to organize a prayer group at our church, it began with he and I on our faces before God in the front of our sanctuary. Now, in answer to our prayers, He has added more. The reason I am writing is to thank you for that day you took your time to share the truths about prayer, and thank you for dedicating your life to the Lord and to prayer. Your humbleness in your presentation greatly moved me, sometimes to tears. Thank you again! Your brother in Christ, John L.
Just want to let you know how much the Lord is changing my life as well as my men's group as we go through your book, How To Develop A Powerful Prayer Life. It is a wonderful journey. Also your message and Henry Blackaby's message at the Evangelism Conference changed me like never before. I was moved to commit to no less than 45 minutes a day in prayer. I haven't missed a day. That commitment has been most fulfilling. I will never start another day without first going to Him in prayer. I can't wait to get with God and most of the time it ends with 60 minutes or more. I finally understand the power of a pure life and obedience. Before it was always, I'll pray if I have time and if the phone doesn't ring. Most of the time I never even spent time with God on the weekends; I had too many other things going on. Never again! It is just God and I, no matter what! And you know what? Now nothing else matters. I still have bad days, problems to solve, things to do, however, the difference is, I've been with God. Thanks for leading! In His Presence and Grace, Bruce
