Let me preface this book by saying that any prayer to Jesus leading to God is a good prayer just as a baby does whatever necessary (crying, tugging, crawling) to gain it's parent's attention is good and effective. However, just as a baby eventually grows into maturity and order, the Christ-follower, regardless of how they begin praying, needs to grow into knowledge of more mature prayer according to Jesus. This book is for the Kingdom-minded person desiring to pray according to the Kingdom of God instead of according to the fleshly desires. We must understand that there is a distinct difference between asking in prayer and decreeing God's promises with authority and praise. Decreeing is not the same as praying. Praying, as I see it, is simply constant communion with God; it's keeping an open line of communication with God at all times in all things. Praying can be asking, praising, weeping, etc. This is the "praying without ceasing" - constant communication with Jesus. Declaring (decreeing) is strategically different. Both have to do with communication, but declaring is actually not talking to God but rather applying God's authority given us through His Son into any situation. A kingdom ambassador does not check with the king when he goes to another country or kingdom on behalf of the king. He's given the king's authority to speak and act as if he were the king himself. He is as the king.
