Description
Could your next prayer hold the key to your spiritual awakening? In Praying for Reign, three-time author and pastor Don Newman shares why prayer is one of the most precious and powerful gifts given to us by the Father. In order to upgrade our prayers from the one-dimensional prayers that too many Christians experience, we must learn how to go from praying for help to Praying for Reign.
Praying for Reign will you help establish or renew your prayer practice as you discover these transformative truths about prayer:
- Prayer is the foundation God provided to His Church to unlock the manifestation of His Kingdom, on earth as it is in Heaven.
- Prayer is more than just a relationship with God; it is also a partnership, and one in which He is depending on us to build and extend His Kingdom reign through prayer.
- Prayer is about more than just asking for what we desire. It is also meant to be a well-developed discipline of asking for what He desires.
It is easy to underestimate the impact of prayer; however, Don believes we can develop a thoughtful, intentional prayer practice—a practice rooted in understanding the types of prayers God yearns for us to pray. Cultivating this type of prayer practice is revolutionary, both of our own lives and the world around us. It’s the first step for those who wish to be a part of the army that establishes God’s kingdom here on earth…and it all starts when we learn how to Pray for Reign.
“If you’re yearning to be a part of something greater than yourself and to interact with the Father in an intimate way, your search stops here. Praying for Reign is like a master class on God’s design for prayer and His personal invitation for you to join Him. Don’s wisdom and revelation will leave you equipped and hungry to embark on a great adventure with the Father. With a fresh perspective and new revelation, you’ll begin to seek the Lord with expectancy and boldness, knowing the part you play in His grand story. Rich in truth and biblical revelation, this is a book sure to stand the test of time and inspire generations to seek the heart of God for their personal role in Praying for Reign.”

“Does prayer really work? Maybe the better question is: ‘Do we believe prayer works?’ For every person navigating this question, Don Newman’s masterpiece, Praying for Reign, opens a well of revelation on the power of prayer that will send you to your knees! Praying for Reign builds faith to pray. Praying for Reign develops the language of breakthrough in prayer. Praying for Reign restores hope in the discipline of praying. Praying for Reign is quite simply the new field manual for the believing church as its warring for divine recovery!”

“A.W. Tozer once preached a message entitled ‘In Everything By Prayer,’ which impacted me as I did my time working with Evangelist Reinhard Bonnke—who was a man of intense prayer. The Puritan Pilgrims were people whose entire foundational truths came from a baptism of prayer. The apostolic epoch that we are now entering is the fulfillment of the desire of Jesus, that His church would be a house of prayer for all nations. This is not the mere amplification of prayer as it is often perceived. It is not the addition of a missing prayer component, or prayer even as a bountiful additive, a power-pack, to what we are currently doing. It is not the mere deepening or heightening of the value of prayer. It is a seismic apostolic shift.
Herein in Praying for Reign, Don Newman reminds us of the history of how the Holy Spirit births everything in and through prayer. To be used as a vessel of intercession is a high calling. In a heaven-to-earth work of a superintending Holy Spirit, our God chooses to work through His remnant body to come into agreement for His perfect will to be administered in the earth.”
— Rev. Kevin Jessip,
Co-Chair of The Return and President of Global Strategic Alliance
“The disciples asked Jesus, ‘Teach us to pray.’ Their proximity to our Savior had given them a front-row seat to His devotional life. They noticed that when Jesus prayed, Heaven moved. They desired to do likewise. Today, hungry Christ-followers are still asking the same question. They long to pierce the heavens with their intercession and move mountains with their prayers.
I believe Praying for Reign has come into your hands at just the right moment. You will find it to be a stone upon which you can sharpen your sword and experience a more effective and rewarding prayer life. There is certainly no higher call than to partner with God in prayer and see His plan accomplished on earth as it is in Heaven. Don is a spiritual marksman and a true intercessor. His life and longevity in ministry mean his words can be trusted as this message has been battle-tested.”

“In Praying for Reign, Don Newman equips and empowers the prayer warrior in executing the mandates of praying ‘Thy kingdom come’ through prayer. God’s original mandate ‘to take dominion over the earth’ in Genesis can be realized through effective prayer that accomplishes much! This is not your typical book on prayer. You must read it and then act upon what you learn.”
— Dr. Larry Keefauver,
Bestselling author of more than sixty books and international teacher
“Don Newman has a unique way of writing that helps the reader ‘see’ what he’s saying and understand as if he is talking to you in person. His new book Praying for Reign helps us understand the position of partnering with God through prayer to see His plan for manifesting His kingdom realm here as it is in Heaven. He gives us tools for effective prayer and revelations from Jesus about how to do this and why it’s important. This book will give you great insight and help you mature in your intimacy with Jesus as you learn to pray His will, and do it His way.”
— Mary Kemp-Smith,
Senior Co-Pastor of New Life Church in Houston, Texas
“It has been said that prayer has two dimensions: a heart-to-heart connection of intimacy with God, and a shoulder-to-shoulder co-laboring with Him to build His kingdom on earth as it is in Heaven. In Praying for Reign, Don Newman gives both encouragement and specific guidance to all who yearn for their lives to grow in both of these dimensions. In a wonderfully solid, biblical way, Don pulls from his own experience as well as church history to both instruct and inspire us to pick up our ‘swords and shields’ of prayer to fulfill God’s eternal designs for His church. I heartily commend this book to you as you put both heart and shoulder into a more flourishing life of prayer.”

Pastor at Idyllwild Community Church
“Prayer played such a huge role in the life and story of every person in scripture who was called of God. Jesus demonstrated such a consistent life of reigning prayer, as well as the early church, and experienced supernatural signs, wonders, solutions, and multiplication all for the glory of God. This is what we long for in our generations! Praying for Reign is such an important encouragement and reminder to God’s people of the powerful weapon we have been given and the authority we have when we pray in Christ’s name to see Heaven come! You will love reading Don’s stories, as they stir you to prayer and inspire you to partner with God in new ways to see Heaven manifested in every area of your life!”
